When I was a kid, my dad would bring home a new PEZ dispenser from the US, just for me. Too bad, I didn't know anything about collecting and didn't think this would be valuable. Nowadays, you can get PEZ candy from just about any local supermarket.
My dad still loves buying the kids PEZ candy. He takes them to the little grocery store beside the office, and treats them to a pack each time the kids are there to visit. RL probably has over two dozen dispensers - Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Lightning McQueen, Buzz Lightyear, Woody, etc. A was delighted to find that they now have Littlest Pet Shop dispensers! I'm just a tad peeved that the distributor doesn't carry the candy refill packs here - what a way to make more money and have parents buy dispensers each time. Ha!
Anyway, when I was in Hong Kong with RL a few months ago, I had to load and reload his dispenser over a dozen times (we shared the candy with friends). I never really learned how to load that thing properly, and it took me several tries to find the perfect way to load a PEZ dispenser WITHOUT touching the candy with your bare, oftentimes, dirty hands.
Last time A and RL got their PEZ from my dad, my brother and I thought to document step-by-step instructions on how to PROPERLY LOAD PEZ INTO A PEZ DISPENSER.
Here's how:
1) Choose a PEZ dispenser.
 |
| A's Littlest Pet Shop PEZ Dispenser with Orange-flavored PEZ. |
 |
| Peel off wrapper off one of the narrow/ thin sides. Make sure you leave 3-sides of the wrapper around the candy. |
 |
| Use pointer finger to secure candy tray from slipping back into the dispenser. |
 |
| Push everything into the open candy tray, narrow-side first. |
5) Use wrapper to push the PEZ candy all the way into the tray. Look, Dad, I didn't use my bare hands!
 |
| Keep your candy clean! Don't use your bare hands! The wrapper keeps it finger-free. Hehe. |
 |
| Once all the candy is in, snap back candy tray into dispenser. |
 |
| Enjoy! And don't forget to brush your teeth! |
