PEZ Dispensers & Collector Tins

Pez (English: /pɛz/, German: [peːts]; stylised as PEZ) is the brand name of an Austrian candy and associated manual candy dispensers. The candy is a pressed, dry, straight-edged, curved-corner block 15 mm (​58 inch) long, 8 mm (​516 inch) wide, and 5 mm (​316 inch) high, with Pez dispensers holding 12 candy pieces.

Pez was invented in Austria and later exported worldwide. The all-uppercase spelling of the logo echoes the trademark's style on the packaging and the dispensers, with the logo drawn in perspective and giving the appearance that the letters are built out of 44 brick-like Pez mints (14 bricks in the P and 15 in each of the E and Z).


Logo of Pez

Despite the widespread recognition and popularity of the Pez dispenser, the company considers itself to be primarily a candy company, and over 3 billion bricks are consumed each year in the U.S. alone.[1] Pez dispensers are a part of popular culture in many nations, an example being 'Soul Candy' in Japanese manga series Bleach.[2] Because of the large number of dispenser designs over the years, they are collected by enthusiasts.
