Pez is probably the only candy immune to shrinkflation, as changing the size or shape would prevent you from using Pez dispensers.

    Wait until you find out the dispenser can be changed, gasp!

    They can make the candies hollow, or rings

    Some Pez middle manager: “Hold my dispenser…”

    I guess they could change the quantities of ingredients? Less sugar and flavour and use some sort of filler? Not shrinking the size, just the tastiness.

    I believe the divot in the center of the pez has actually gotten deeper since its inception.

    I always wonder how many licenses they must own..

    One food for the rest of my life? 
    That’s easy…Pez, cherry flavoured Pez.

    Cheaper ones made for all us Pezants.

    Ohh maybe they could make it so one  pez is dispensed for each two texts.. Get one , miss next, get next, miss again….a different version of how the Toblerones (in UK anyway) were stripped of every other piece along the bar. Was told was so made it easier to break the bits off or some.shite.

    A shorter stack (fewer pieces) would still work.

    wait till you learn they make most of their money off the dispensers and not the candy.

    They can make them smaller. The height can be lowered

  14. DrachenDad Avatar

    They could reduce the pack size by 1 piece.

    Now this is a fucking brilliant shower thought. Kudos!

    So if you are a part of the marketing team for pez this was a brilliant idea. People stop giving them ideas!!!

    There’s some way to shrink them.

    • Deepen the center.
    • reduce the height so you still fit them in the dispenser but one or two more will be required.

    someone should make slightly larger pez dispensers Make them look old so it looks like everything shrunk. could be like a berenstain Bear thing

    You cut the candy. As in you substitute ingredients for cheaper products like chalk, talcum or HFCS.

    So they do it anyway and piss everybody off selling pez dispensers that don’t work, but people buy them anyway because they’re made of characters they want like Star Wars, My Little Pony, and Hazbin Hotel or something.

    Not on my watch. My clients demand consistency

  22. Grand_Raccoon0923 Avatar

    They just give you one or two less. You wouldn’t even notice.

  23. Leaded-BabyFormula Avatar

    This doesn’t stop them from using cheaper ingredients, or fewer.

    Or cheaper manufacturing processes leading to worse products overall.

    The ppl here need to stop giving PEZ these ideas

  25. saucytheferret Avatar

    I swear the new Pez dispensers are way flimsier than they used to be. It’s hard to get the candy in and out

  26. Lemmonjello Avatar

    Ive never eaten a pez am i missing anything?

  27. Lumifly Avatar

    That wouldn’t do anything. It’d be a benefit to them because then people would also need to buy new pez dispensers. It’d be marketed as somehow good and beneficial to the consumer. “New compact size to make it easier on the go!”

  28. MobiusF117 Avatar

    They are already basically chalk. Their money is in the dispensers themselves, not the actual candy.

  29. I_am_Nic Avatar

    They can just create a new series of dispensers and call them like “mini PEZ” and sell specific refills for them.

  30. Feisty-Okra307 Avatar

    Small pez dispenser + smaller candy that isn’t backwards compatible. I wouldn’t put it past them!
