PEZ: Candy or Anti-smoking Aid?

from Ridiculous History · host iHeartPodcasts

The Austrian candy brand Pez is perhaps more well-known for its iconic dispensers than for the candy itself. While they may seem commonplace today, these tablet-shaped bricks have a surprising origin story. In today's episode, Ben, Noel and Max dive into the original purpose of Pez: part candy, yes -- but also an innovative way to help Austrians stop smoking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
