Did you love Pez when you were a kid? I mean, the candy was kind of lame, but the dispensers--WOW! These folks turned their love of Pez into a livelihood--this article (followed by a link to photos) is about the Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia, which has every Pez dispenser ever made:

The museum is, appropriately enough, south of San Francisco.

This is the museum's Web site, where you can buy some of the cooler recent Pez dispensers (some "retired" ones), get display racks for your Pez collection (for feeted or non-feeted dispensers), and subscribe to the monthly newsletter:

And people :roll: think Blunderites are strange!!??!! Gotta love it!

You could only load it with little chocolate pez bricks and instead of the bricks coming out the mouth, they came out the.......well, you know.

I think they came out both ends on that dispenser (or they should).
