Geocache Description:


This cache is dedicated to Pez Dispensers

In 1927, Pez (the candy) was invented by Eduard Haas, an Austrian inventor and an anti-smoking advocate. The word Pez comes from the German word for peppermint or Pfefferminze and this peppermint flavored Pez was first sold as a cigarette substitute.

In 1952, Eduard Haas imported Pez candy into the U.S. for the first time but  sales were low. He then decided to reintroduce the candy with new packaging that doubled as a child's toy. These Pez dispensers had cartoon heads and were filled with new fruit flavors.

The Pez dispenser was a hit, making the candy very popular with children.

Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse were some of the first character pez dispensers.
