    Just a few fun facts…
    1. Orange, CT was named for William of Oranje and was settled in 1822 (incorporated 1923).
    2. Autographer John Ratzenberger (‘Cheers’ fame) was born & raised in neighboring Bridgeport CT.
    3. The PEZ motorcycle was created by Orange County Choppers out of California.
    4. Yes, it often rains A LOT here in CT, especially
    Fun video, Jake! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    i learned a bit ago, that when you are reloading your pez dispenser, you just remove the colorful wrapper and put the foil wrapped candy in the bottom, then it pushes the wrapper off and you eat the candy inside! :D

    I LOVE PEZ DISPENSERS!
    1) Eating them one by one discourages eating too much candy/sugar
    2) The dispensers kept the candy pieces organized and fresher then just in the wrappers
    3) The dispensers are a cool, cheap way to start a collection (if collecting things is YOUR thing)! :D
    I love 'em!

    Brings back some memories. They weren't called Pez where i live, but really can't remember what it was called.
    A very fun and nice museum. Makes you wonder how many different dispensers they have and how many more will be issued in the future. Maybe, in some near future, they bring out a traveller series with one rare but very much loved item: The Carpetbagger. Wouldn't that be nice!

    Looks like they have many new displays since I visited over 10 years ago. The video should have covered the manufacturing process, which is on display for your edification. They likely still have the Buy a Bucket option in the gift shop, where you can dispense as much of any flavor you wish into a small bucket for a fixed price. Also T shirts and such are available. BTW, I still eat PEZ, and since childhood resorted to not using the dispenser (too difficult to load).

    I’ve lived in CT for my whole life (22, will be 23 in April) and I have NEVER been to the PEZ visitor center. I’ve known it’s there though. We used to have a trash museum somewhere in CT too and it had this giant TREX made of trash. It was a VERY popular summer camp trip. Then I grew up and found out it closed when I wanted to bring a friend there that hadn’t been there when he was a kid (this was after I graduated highschool back in 2017) and I was pretty upset. It was the same thing as most of these factory+museum where they would have this viewing area where you could watch the trash go into the machines and stuff. We REALLY need something like that nowadays so people actually see what they are doing to the environment.

    Asterix the Gaul is a French cartoon/comic character that was quite popular in Europe, they made a live action movie too but it didn't do all that well.
    In the UK it was always a mixed bag for Pez, I had but have long lost a Batman one and had briefly but sold a modern Cap America but you could never get the cool designs and the only flavours were ones like that sickly cola in the UK, even now I'd love a monster one or a truck filled with peppermint Pez.
