Fun Facts About PEZ Candy

  1. Invention in Vienna: Did you know that PEZ Candy had its humble beginnings in Vienna, Austria? It was invented by Eduard Haas III. But here's the interesting part: it was created as an alternative to smoking! Yes, PEZ was initially marketed as a breath mint for those looking to quit smoking.

  2. The Name Game: The name "PEZ" is derived from the German word for peppermint, which is "PfeffErminZ." To create the brand name, they cleverly took the first letter "P," the middle letter "E," and the last letter "Z" from "PfeffErminZ." The result? PEZ!
