Pez is a type of candy that comes in small, rectangular tablets, known for its unique flavors and fun packaging. Originally created in Austria in the 1920s, Pez was initially marketed as a breath mint. The name "Pez" comes from the German word for peppermint, "Pfefferminz," which reflects its original flavor. Pez is also famous for its collectible dispensers, which are often shaped like popular characters from movies, cartoons, and other media. These dispensers have become a popular hobby for collectors, with some rare models fetching high prices. The combination of candy and collectible toys has made Pez a beloved treat for both children and adults.
