It contains pictures of many of the imaginative, collectible, and valuable dispensers created over the past 50 years. More than 250 full-color photographs showcase the big cast of They’re glowing with color and include animals, ghosts, witches, superheroes, clowns, and brides and grooms, as well as famous icons, such as Mickey Mouse and Tweety Bird.

A pure and joyful walk down memory lane! I can remember Pez dispensers when I was in grade school; there were always trades going on during recess. I can remember dropping Pez candy in my Slurpee on hot summer days; letting them freeze and then digging them out with a 'scoop spoon' straw. Sorry for digressing.
