PEZ is the name of an Austrian candy (and candy dispensers) company. The original product invented in 1927 was a round peppermint, over time the brick shape known today was created. The name PEZ stands for PfeffErminZ (German for peppermint). Because of the large number of dispenser designs over the years, they are collected by enthusiasts. Iconic is also the »Gun Dispenser«, modeled after the german semi-automatic pistol Walther PPK.
