just opened a little thing of pez candies, and nine out of the 11 or 12 of them were yellow. wtf?

candy companies need to be more like starburst, with fair, even distribution

Next time, try harder... ;)

The last time I had Pez, they were ALL yellow. I didn't know they came in different colors. As far as flavor goes, it just tasted like sugar. Do the other colors taste any different?

Smiss

You telling ME to try harder? Or MJ should try harder to get better variety in his pez...

BRiT

02-19-2004, 07:20 PM

They reply was to you, Smiss, to try harder... If you switch into Hybrid or Threaded mode you can tell who replied to who.

But yeah, I think MJ should try harder to get a wider variety of Pez!

loaded with these:

and you tilt the head back and one little pill-sized candy thing comes out at a time...

and BRiT... they come in yellow, orange, and pink. you can get little packages of just one color, but the variety packs are better provided there's an even distribution :mad:

and they do taste different - strawberryish = pink, orangeish = orange, lemonish = yellow. and now that i look at the image i just posted, i've never seen peppermint but apparently there's one of those too

a pez is a freakin little candy it sucks and is stupid i hate pez :mfinger: pez desirves to die!!! :biggrin:

oh no my friend, i'm afraid you have it all wrong. pez rocks, but they don't properly distribute the flavors. and the less-rockin' flavors are more heavily distributed

they're bastards, but you don't get to trash-talk pez in general

They make PEPPERMINT Pez now? Holy damn. *gets out the boba fett pez dispenser*

i think that must have been tested a while ago and failed...

Smiss

02-20-2004, 11:05 AM

OMG IT WOULD BE SO AWESOME IF ALTOIDS MADE MINTS THAT FIT IN PEZ DISPENSERS!

The Pez ones probably tasted like ass. A minty Pez... That is so fucking awesome. Cause you DON'T eat it all the second you load them, and you can carry it around all day offering people mints. Or put it on your desk at work to offer coworkers with halatosis... Although I would have to say... WINTERGREEN!!! mmmm

i am told by a trivia-filled friend that pez were originally created to be breathmints for smokers

makes sense!

ya know pez is over rated...my friend has a rocket dispenser! now that is cool! i can never find pez but i still have a bajillion left over rockets from holloween...and whats cool about the rocket dispenser is when one of your buddies isn't lookin you chuck a few rockets in his pop and boom! the drink explodes all over him and hilarity ensues.....but yeh rockets still have the colored candy distribution problem...its the bane of civil society for sure...

This may be a silly question, but what's a rocket candy? :confused:

Pez tastes like the floride vitamins.

I used to collect them for the plastic trademarked cases they came in.

I gave up on plastic.

What would purple pez be? Grape?

Crocto

03-01-2004, 01:28 PM

they all taste the same really. their kinda like little bricks of sugar.

gumercules

03-01-2004, 04:58 PM

NO, goddamnit

YELLOW tastes like LEMON
PINK tastes like STRAWBERRY
ORANGE tastes like ORANGE

:mad: :mad: i hope this is the last time i need to explain that

Skorch

03-01-2004, 05:32 PM

But goddamnit, what would purple taste like? Is it the obvious grape, or some other freaky purple fruit that I haven't even heard about that probably tastes indistinguishable from yellow (or "lemon" as gumer claims).

madnewf

03-01-2004, 05:54 PM

well candy factories come out with all sorts of weird shit nowadays...
here's the site for you to look it up

Crocto

03-01-2004, 06:24 PM

they already made a grape flavor. so maybe a pomegranate flavor?

gumercules

03-01-2004, 07:07 PM

it'd be grape, i'm sure... and i don't like pomegranate

Crocto

03-01-2004, 09:29 PM

you know what else pissses me off? how they can sell bags of candy, chips, etc by "weight" instead of by volume. so you always get screwed and have these little tiny pieces that weigh a pound but they're so damn small its annoying as hell to eat them.

Smiss

03-02-2004, 12:51 AM

I thought they DID have purple pez... really! I remember having purple pez!

I was going to say soemthing else but I can't remember now...

Skorch

03-02-2004, 08:27 AM

you remember having purple pez, but do you remember if they tasted like grapes or pomegranates?

Chica

03-02-2004, 09:13 AM

I just remember that they tasted like shit.

Smiss

03-10-2004, 12:50 AM
