Someone threw together an MP3 player using a Pez dispenser.<\/a> Now they’ve gotten permission to produce it legally.<\/p>\n

Good GOD. I had no idea. I’m kind of upset that I didn’t think of it myself, but I guess this just means I need to create something else out of a Pez dispenser. Hmmm.<\/p>\n

You may not know this, but I’m a pez aficionada. I started collecting in high school, with my mom. I have about 150 Pez, last I counted. In college, boys would woo me with a Pez dispenser. I’d laugh in their face and say “I already HAVE that one.”<\/p>\n

There are Pez in production now, and there are Pez that are out of production. My attentions became fixated on the out-of-production Pez, like the Wounded Soldier <\/a>(my favorite), or the Pez gun<\/a> (candy suicide).<\/p>\n

I used to have dreams where I’d be in some antique shop or flea market, and find a rare old Pez. See, this happened once – I found an original<\/a> in an antique store in Welton, Iowa. I bought it for $7, and it’s worth much more.<\/p>\n

Anyway, my Pez interests waned, probably because I have the purchasing power to buy much more expensive hobby items<\/a>. Then again, this has given me a chance to go back and find all the ones that are on the market now.<\/p>\n

I still have this incredible knowledge base of the old variations, and some surprising Pez facts. I think that should be another post on another day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
