    3. The PEZ motorcycle was created by Orange County Choppers out of California.
    4. Yes, it often rains A LOT here in CT, especially

    I LOVE PEZ DISPENSERS!
    1) Eating them one by one discourages eating too much candy/sugar
    2) The dispensers kept the candy pieces organized and fresher then just in the wrappers
    3) The dispensers are a cool, cheap way to start a collection (if collecting things is YOUR thing)! :D
    I love 'em!

    Looks like they have many new displays since I visited over 10 years ago. The video should have covered the manufacturing process, which is on display for your edification. They likely still have the Buy a Bucket option in the gift shop, where you can dispense as much of any flavor you wish into a small bucket for a fixed price. Also T shirts and such are available. BTW, I still eat PEZ, and since childhood resorted to not using the dispenser (too difficult to load).

    Brings back some memories. They weren't called Pez where i live, but really can't remember what it was called.
    A very fun and nice museum. Makes you wonder how many different dispensers they have and how many more will be issued in the future. Maybe, in some near future, they bring out a traveller series with one rare but very much loved item: The Carpetbagger. Wouldn't that be nice!
