When Pez introduced the Pez Dispenser they became one of the first interactive mint/candy experiences in the world. Pez candy was originally designed to replace cigarette cravings and act as a minty alternative to smoking.  The mint candy dispensers were even designed to look like cigarette lighters.

However, Pez was unable to gain market share over the American tobacco companies. Pez then turned their attention to marketing to children and creating sweet candy flavors that would appeal to a younger audience.

Fun Fact: Pez comes from the German word ‘pfeffermintz’ and originated in Austria in 1927.
