Everybody Loves Pez

pez

Pez was probably my favorite candy growing up. There were so many cool dispensers and the pez just tasted so good. Plus it was pretty neat eating candy out of something’s neck. My parents usually got me pez at each holiday. I always had a Santa or Rudolph dispenser at Christmas, and a bunny at Easter. Sometimes if my parents were feeling generous they would come home with a cool character for me and my sister. We used to trade different characters all the time.

But pez isn’t just for kids. Sure parents don’t go around buying their own pez dispensers, but they always find a way to eat some. For example, my father. We actually have the following event on video camera. My parents liked to tape everything around the holidays.

It was Easter morning, and I was about 4 years old. I had gotten the usual gifts of candy and books, and of course a new pez dispenser with pez. Being four, I hadn’t yet mastered the talent of loading the dispenser with the pez. My uncoordinated fingers tried, but I was failing miserably. My dad said he would load it for me. He opened the pez and loaded the dispenser, but made sure to eat a few in the process! On the video tape you could hear my mom yelling at him to stop eating my candy. I couldn’t blame him though. Everybody loves pez!

Until next time, this is Kandy K….stay sweet!

twizzler

Twizzlers are the ageless candy. They are adored by people of all ages. It’s not too sweet so adults still like them, but they are sweet enough for kids to love. They can also be very entertaining and are a great candy for a hot day.

Kids can use them to make fun arts and crafts, while parents can supervise and munch on the extras. It’s a great family activity. And of course if it’s too hot to be outside, they are a great snack for the movies!

The best thing to do with twizzlers is bite the ends off and then use the remaining part as a straw. I used to do that all the time as a kid. It makes almost anything you’re drinking taste even better. It sweetens up water, and complements soda. Adults could even use it to sweeten up their alcoholic beverages. Plus it looks pretty festive in your drink!

Until next time, this is Kandy K…stay sweet!
