PEZ

OFFICIAL SNACK REPORT
Sanctioned By WASAW Snack Committee

Reviewed By: Ms. Candyass

LOCATION: Party Basket Cards & Gift Store

OFFICIAL NAME OF SNACK: PEZ® Candy

PRICE: $1.89 (Dispenser and 2 candy sleeves)
(can also buy packets of candy refills only)

WEIGHT: .58 oz. (candy only)

SNACK LOOKS LIKE:
Sugar-coated vitamins with the word "PEZ" engraved on both sides. Candy gets loaded into a plastic dispenser topped by a kid-friendly character.

SSI RATING (SNACK SATISFACTION INDEX - 1-10):
10 for fun, 5 for taste

 

UPSIDE:

Of all your candy choices, PEZ is probably THE most fun to eat. You load the candies into these fun character-head dispensers, then you just pop open the head to offer candy to all your friends and coworkers. Plus, the dispensers look lovely displayed on your desk or atop your computer.

DOWNSIDE:

Although they're fun to eat, PEZ as a candy is not that satisfying -- no nuts, no fillers, just a powdery sugar taste. Plus, loading those dispensers is a real pain in the ass. You have to hold open the plastic sleeve of the dispenser, and place the individual candies in one by one -- and forget about getting the last one in!

1ST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Sugar
Corn Syrup
Adipic Acid
Hydrog. Palm Kernel & Palm Oils

LAST 4 INGREDIENTS:

Soybean Oil
Mono & Diglycerides
Natural Flavor
Artifical Color

PACKAGING:

The individual candy sleeves come in their own wrappers, with the color of the wrapper indicating the flavor. Both the dispenser and these wrapped candy sleeves come in a clear plastic wrapper. Why? The dispenser is the real packaging.

DO I RECOMMEND YOU TRY THIS YOURSELF? (YES/NO - EXPLAIN):

Definitely! They're so much fun to eat -- who cares what they taste like?

WHICH SOUTH PARK CHARACTER WOULD LIKE IT BEST?:

Mr. Garrison -- they're almost like puppets. And he's probably good at inserting things into narrow openings.

HOW THE PRODUCT CAN BE IMPROVED:

PEZ dispensers already loaded!

IF THIS SNACK WAS A PERSON IT WOULD BE:

Brad Pitt (because he's probably fun to eat -- and not all that satisfying)
