The creation of a particularly fine peppermint candy in 1927 by Eduard Haas III in Austria marks the birth of Pez. Originally introduced in small tins, the refreshing candy proved extremely popular.In 1948 the compressed sugar tablets were sold in small pocket sized tins until inventor Oscar Uxa patented a small mechanical box for dispensing the tablets. In 1949 the first dispenser was officially introduced at the Vienna Trade Fair. The original dispenser held the same number of tablets (12) as today!Explore the Pez website: https://www.pez-candy.com/en-int
