And they use 1000s of pounds of force until the brick of confectionery sugar and peppermint flavoring holds together. And so PEZ tablets are made by compressing confectionery sugar, which is that very fine sugar, and the flavoring in a cold process. This is kind of step one, and what makes PEZ cool. And so the Haas company chemists invented a special manufacturing process. And you lose a lot of peppermint oil, so you have to use a lot of it, and it’s quite expensive. But because peppermint oil is really expensive, and generally when you make something out of peppermint oil, you boil it, which is typically how candy is made… a hot mixture, you lose actually a lot of the peppermint taste. And this is from a book called PEZ from Austrian Invention to American Icon written by Sean Peterson, who’s the company historian at PEZ candy.Īnd so, peppermint flavoring was the original flavor for PEZ. So he wanted to create a tablet that would not only refresh one’s breath, but could also help consumers who are anxious to cut down on smoking or overeating. So that was back in the turn of the century. And so he had chemists and a factory that could produce materials like baking powder, they actually made pre mixed cake mixes. So he actually inherited a successful baking business from his dad. So the Pez dispenser, part character, part candy, and all collectible, and it was invented by Austrian confectioner Eduard Haas the third, and he actually invented it to corner this anti smoking market. And there are always lots of PEZ around the place, a really great gift item at any point in time. There were some PEZ in my family’s stockings this year. And you know, PEZ have been in stockings for many, many years. It was invented to help people stop smoking, and was invented to be an eating management and smoking management tool, which I thought was super fascinating. And it’s got a pretty interesting history.īelieve it or not, PEZ was invented as an anti smoking tool. So there are, I don’t know, 1000s and 1000s and 1000s of different PEZ out there.
But on top of the dispenser, there are little shapes like faces and pumpkins, and you know, Tinkerbell and all that kind of stuff. They come in the little sleeves, and then you can put the sleeve into a dispenser that looks a little bit like a cigarette lighter. But in case you’re not PEZ are little rectangular shaped candies, peppermint, and other flavor profiles and a lot of fruit flavors. So, PEZ I think most people are familiar.
MAKE A FACE PEZ HOW TO
The second piece is this idea of pivoting, and being able to understand how to make a business pivot when you need to One is the bit a bit of the history of it, and how that translates into experience and how to think about the kind of experiences that you land. But I just want to talk a little bit about PEZ from… two things. And on Copernican Shift I did a little post on PEZ, and some of the cool things that have come from PEZ. I actually put a post on my blog, which is. And as usual, I am your host, Grad Conn CXO, chief experience officer at Sprinklr.
