Do you remember PEZ candy dispensers?

We always find something to do, even on rainy days. 

There is a PEZ Visitor Center in Orange, Connecticut. 

792 dispensers greet you when you enter. 

Here is a view from the second floor. 

Yes, there are two levels to display all the PEZ 

dispensers that have been made plus a gift shop area. 

What dispenser did you have growing up?

They are still going strong today.

The ever popular Star Wars.

We didn't remember any trucks 

but here is a case full of them.

Many sports related. 

Animals, and of course Disney.

Sets

We couldn't photograph them all, 

but this gives you an idea how large this collection is 

and the appeal to kids and grown-ups. 

They make it fun by giving you a BINGO card 

to find certain ones and if you get a BINGO you

receive a prize.

Yes, a dispenser with a pack of candy. 

PEZ is not just for kids!

 On the second floor, besides more dispensers,

and an area where you can host birthday parties, 

they have this chopper that was built by 

the Orange County Choppers in 2006.

Remember the show "American Chopper"?

Trivia: The name PEZ comes from the German word 

for peppermint, "pfefferminz" taking the P from the first letter, 

E from the middle and Z from the last letter. 

Hope this brought back some good memories!
