Pez Museum

On Wednesday, I finally visited the Original Pez Museum located right here in Burlingame, CA!  It has been open for 15 years and contains one of every Pez dispenser released over the last 50 years.  The facility consists of two rooms; a retail store and the museum.  Both rooms are only about the size of a large living room, but there is a lot of Pez memorabilia packed in the space.  The museum section also contains various classic toys and other nostalgia.

I am not a Pez collector and have no intention of becoming one, but had a good time checking out the Pez Museum.  It doesn't take long to see everything which is okay seeing that the admission is only $3.  The lady who works there gladly imparted some Pez knowledge on me.  Such as Pez is an Austrian company and the name is an abbreviation using the first, middle, and last letter in the German word for peppermint PfeffErminZ.

Overall, I would recommend checking out the museum if you are in the area.  If you happen to be in the area because you are visiting the Dirty Thirty Photography headquarters then I will personally take you (but you will be required to be in a picture with the world's largest Pez dispenser as seen later in this post).

Below are pictures of the Pez Museum.  Thank you for stopping by and take care....

Guest book...it made me wonder which of these people traveled the furthest with the singular purpose of visiting the Pez Museum in Burlingame, CA.

This Snowman is the Guinness World Record holder for the world's largest Pez dispensing machine.  It stands over 7 feet tall and actually works.

The entrance to the museum section did remind me of the entrance to the "adult" section at old movie rental stores.

The middle row are unfinished prototype molds.

These Pez dispensing guns can shoot a Pez up to six feet!  Obviously they are no longer sold, but they should be because I would love to shoot people with tiny candy.

I had to buy one of these for Rachel since it was Valentine's Day.
