PEZ! Who knew the infamous candy was first introduced in 1927 in Vienna, Austria as a breath mint for adults and the name was created from the first, middle and last letter in the German word for peppermint, PfeffErminZ!
Fun to just stumble upon this place while looking for a rest stop on the road trip this weekend. So if you’re ever in the area, and you are a PEZ connoisseur and have about an hour to spare, head to the PEZ Visitor Center in Orange, Connecticut.
Lots to share, so stay tuned for more updates this week on the adventures in the wilds of Vermont!
omigod! i want some Pez!!!
Yeah, a pez lover!
Thanks for your note. Will look forward to spending some time on your site!
I never knew that! They are so un-minty, though. But, always fun.
So true! Thanks for stopping by!
And don’t you just love all the dispensers that are collector’s items!!! I never even thought there’d be a visitor’s center but it sure makes sense. 🙂
The number of antique dispensers were incredible! So fun!
Wow I would love that place 🙂
Yes you would! So fun!
What a fun tour that would be. Just looking at this photo makes me feel like a kid again!
MORE & SOON!!! GH
As soon as you step in the door you feel like a kid, it was great! xoxo

You would’ve loved it!!! xoxo
