PEZ Astronaut Candy Dispenser Poster
Posted by Michael Pinto on Jul 4, 2007 in Hobbies and Collections |
The above poster for promoting the PEZ Spaceman Candy Dispenser was illustrated in 1959 during the height of the space race. I came across the poster at artsnotdead.com so I was inspired to go and do a search to see the actual Astronaut dispenser in action, however sadly the actual item didn’t match the quality of the advertisement. Although on the flip side I discovered that the name PEZ was derived from the German word for peppermint, Pfefferminz which the first PEZ flavor.
