PEZ

Austrian candy-maker PEZ manufactures confectionery and candy dispensers under its brand name. Each Pez dispenser holds 12 small, straight-edged, curved-corner blocks of candy. The candy is pressed, dry, straight-edged, and has a sharp edge.

“PEZ” stands for PfeffErminZ (the German word for peppermint). PEZ drops were originally round peppermint lozenges. Eventually, a new manufacturing process evolved, resulting in the hard-pressed brick shape we know today.

Today, they come in a variety of flavours. These candies do not contain gluten or lactose. In addition, there are no animal products used in them. Get a taste of this American favourite, long loved by Europeans and Americans alike.
