The secret life of pez
“Out of nowhere, from the top of what you assumed was just a blue load- bearing pillar, a giant baseball-capped head lurches backward, revealing, where its neck should be, a massive hole, out of which emerges the largest piece of PEZ candy you’ve ever seen, a veritable bathtub that looks like it’s going to plop out of the pillar and pulverize you. The tub teeters, half-ejected, holding your life in its candied hands. Then it retreats back into its hole, shrouded by the blue-billed head that returns to its pike with a knowing smirk. That’s how I meet PEZ Boy, who, at fourteen feet tall, is the largest PEZ dispenser in the world.”
