Counting Candy


Well, I have been trying to decide what to write about today, my weekend was quite eventful. I halted a robbery, accidentally broke my friend’s fake Christmas tree, and almost slept with a thirty-four year old woman (an attractive 34 year old woman). But, instead, I decided I would talk about pez.

Perhaps the most marvelous invention of all time, the pez candy dispenser is a proud staple of Americana (even though I am not sure if it was invented in America). I have been inadvertently collecting pez dispensers for several years now. I say “inadvertently” because I have never bought a pez dispenser, nor did I ever intend to collect them. At one point in my life I think a conspiratorial group, most likely led by my mother (hi Mom!), decided that it would be a good idea that I start receiving these dispensers. Boy do I have a lot of them! Two-hundred and sixty eight to be exact, although one-hundred and thirty five of these are duplicates, which is a lot of pez. My collection has grown so large that my mom bought me an antique glass medical cabinet to display them in when I moved to Ohio.

Yes, I have a pez display case in my apartment. Yes, every time someone comes over I am forced to explain my massive collection of candy dispensers. No, my pez collection has never inspired a woman to make love to me. No, I don’t give the candy to soup kitchens.
