One of the last gift that my father gave me is a Snoopy PEZ. He knows I love Snoopy and an avid PEZ head and up to this day, I still have it as a keepsake. Too bad it’s in the province so I don’t have a photo of it to show.

PEZ has always been a part of my childhood and I always associate it with happy memories. So up to now I still collect some dispenser and still have candies once in a while.

PEZ is more than just a candy. True for me. It’s a familiar little treats that bring back memories of yesteryear with each and every bite. It comes w With great tasting candy flavors and collectible dispensers that is both enjoyable to eat and fun to play. One of the pioneer of “interactive candy” the PEZ Dispensers are a hot collectible for adults and children alike. And every year, new character dispensers are introduced regularly to reflect current trends.

Famous characters like Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and Hello Kitty have graced Pez dispenser heads and with the popoularity of Disney’s Frozen, Anna and Elsa have also joined the line-up of PEZ dispensers.. Next year and over the coming years we will expect to see more licenses and partners requesting for a PEZ head dispenser.

But did you know that our favorite PEZ didn’t start out as the fruity candy we know and love today? You might be amazed that this candy has a history that may surprise you.

Originated from Austria in 1927, it started as a breath mint for adults. It did not come from a head dispenser that we know today but it come from plain boxes. But in 1955 the firm started marketing the candy to children and from then it leads to the creation of its celebrated series of character designs.

That creation has been a pop culture icon. Its different, it’s collectible, and it’s fun. It has been a toy that dispense pastel colored candy stacked in a narrow column.

As we go on deeply to digital age, PEZ is going digital too. Having been proven as a brand with a

portfolio of licenses for the past 89 years, PEZ is proud to introduce another innovation, The PEZ Play. Their first PEZ play dispensers is a collaboration with the world’s most loved mobile app game Angry Birds. On each dispenser is a code which you can use to unlock the exclusive PEZ Angry Birds game within the brand new Angry Birds Action mobile app.

Here are some fun trivia about PEZ:

The word PEZ was created using the first, middle and last letter in the German word for peppermint PfeffErminZ

The first national gathering of PEZ collectors was held in June 25, 1991 in Ohio

A PEZ Collector is called a PEZ head

A Prince Willilam and Kate Middleton PEZ dispenser that sold in a charity auction for $13,360

There are 2 PEZ Museums in the world. One in California and in Connecticut

PEZ started in the Philippines in July 2007.

Always. As one of my favorite characters in Harry Potter says to his love Lily, Prof. Snape and I share the same sentiment over Lily but mine is a peanut butter devotion to Lily’s Peanut Butter which is the favorite peanut butter spread in my family.

And with everyone getting health conscious nowadays, eating healthy and eating right is no longer a simple fad and with the rise in this health consciousness Newborn Food Products, the maker of Lily’s Peanut Butter for 60 years now has adapted accordingly to this thinking.

After more than half a century of winning the Filipino palate, Newborn Food Products, launched its newest product line, Lily’s Peanut Butter Spread Lite at the Trinoma Activity Center last August 14, 2016. The event was hosted by athlete-turned-celebrity-host Gretchen Ho, actor model CJ Reyes and singer-model John Pol Dimaculanagan

The whole day event featured a variety of fun activities showcasing the health and wellness-created direction of the Lily’s brand. The public also enjoy Zumba sessions, healthy cooking demonstartion, game booths, and special presentation from “Pilipinas Got Talent” finalists the Power Impact dancers. Special raffle prizes as well as high score awards for game booth participants await those people who purchased Lily’s products at the venue.

Made from real peanuts and Stevia extract, Lily’s Peanut Spread Lite is the first locally-produced product lite Peanut Butter in the country. This peanut spread is made from real peanuts and Stevia extract without any of the added sugars or chemical ingredients included in the many low low-fat peanut butter alternatives Om the market.

Stevia extract contains naturally-occuring glycosides providing distinct sweetness despite having no sugar content.

This makes it ideal for today’s health-conscious eaters – from weight watchers and people trying out low-glycemic diets to people suffering from ailments such as diabetis and hypertension. It delivers the same creamy goodness that has made Lily’s a favorite for many decades now. Taste and health don’t have to beesclusive of each other; healthy doesn’t need to be boring.

With this product line, Lily’s engaged itself to be an advocate of promoting healthy snacks, an advocacy that will contnue to manifest in the company’s future projects and events.

As proudly stated by Arch. Ramon Pua, President/CEO of Newborn Food Products, “We don’t just aim for profit – we share Lily’s Ikaw Lang Talaga!”
