It has been quite some time since PEZ International created something truly special for the ISM Confectionery Fair in Cologne.
To find a comparable release, collectors have to look all the way back to 2006, when the famous Hard Rock Cafe PEZ dispensers were distributed as exclusive giveaways during an after-show party.
Now, PEZ International is bringing back that tradition with another unique event-exclusive dispenser.
A Special PEZ Party Edition
For this release, PEZ selected the popular Tongue Emoji dispenser and gave it an exclusive stem print reading:
PEZ PARTY 2015
While the dispenser itself is certainly unique, the real highlight of this release is the incredible packaging.
The custom blister card features the word “PEZ” cleverly assembled from a collection of vintage PEZ dispensers. Across the front, a large yellow banner proudly announces:
YOU ARE INVITED
making it immediately clear that this is no ordinary PEZ release.
More Than Just a Blister Card
Turning the package over reveals even more surprises.
The reverse side contains the official invitation to the PEZ Party itself, complete with event details, location information, and RSVP instructions.
It’s a fantastic touch that transforms the packaging into a collectible piece of PEZ history.
But PEZ didn’t stop there.
The entire blister card is housed inside a beautifully designed presentation box that perfectly complements the artwork and style of the dispenser.
On the front of the box, a large yellow circle poses the intriguing question:
WHO makes you smile?
creating even more anticipation about what awaits inside.
A Challenge for Collectors
Obtaining this dispenser in its complete boxed presentation may prove to be quite a challenge for collectors.
PEZ International has announced that examples will be given away through its Facebook page, both as complete boxed sets and as loose dispensers.
So keep a close eye on PEZ International’s social media posts—you never know when your opportunity to add this unique collectible to your collection may arrive.
One thing is certain: this is a dispenser that absolutely belongs in our collections.
Happy Collecting!
