PEZ (皮禮士糖)

Do you know a brand name call “PEZ”?

PEZ is a combination word of the first, the middle and the last letter of the German word “PFEFFERMINZ” (= peppermint). It was invented by Eduard Haas in Austria in 1927 and now it is 83 years old.

Many people ate “PEZ” candy in their childhood. Most of them do not care about the taste of candy, and they just care about the candy boxes. As there are many different types of candy boxes with different cartoon roles. Many people like collecting PEZ candy boxes. Such as: Tigger, Mickey Mouse, Star war etc.

 “PEZ” first introduced to America market in 1952, and it was designed as a product for adults originally. However the sales performance was not good.

In 1962, “PEZ” cooperated with Walt Disney. The candy boxes were ornamented with images of Mickey Mouse, Donald and Goofy and many people liked this series.  Not only the audits, but also children liked this series. Children became the target buyers too.

Since 1965, countless license agreements with producers of the most popular comic figures were concluded world-wide and ensured the loyalty of generations of PEZ-fans in over 80 counties around the world. For example: Thomas & Friends, Shrek, Hello Kitty, SpongeBob and so on. More and more people become the fans of PEZ.

In 2007, PEZ celebrated 80^th anniversary.  It presented many classic candy boxes and different size of candy boxes. 

I bought many PEZ candy boxes in my childhood, including Bugs Bunny, Tweety, Garfield and Winner the Pooh.  I love the candy boxes design very much and brought them to school every day.  Also I bought a larger candy boxes in 80^th anniversary.

Do you like PEZ candy? With which cartoon roles candy box??

Cotton Candy (棉花糖)

    

    Today, I introduce cotton candy, but this type cotton candy cannot be bought in supermarket. Have you tasted it in your childhood? I have already tasted the cotton candy in my childhood. I still remember that my first time to tasted this type cotton candy in Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park(荔園) and I felt very magical and interesting when I tasted it, because the cotton candy dissolved in my mouth. Although, Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park is already closed, we can be able to find this type cotton candy in Hong Kong, For example, Hong Kong Disneyland.

    Autually, this type cotton candy has a long long history around Mid-18th Century and it come from Europe. Cotton Candy is form of spun sugar. Since it is mostly air, servings are large.  Food coloring is used to change the natural white color, thus it has many color, such as blue, pink and green......

     How to make the cotton candy? The machine used to make cotton candy consists of a small bowl, into which sugar is poured and food coloring is added.  The operator use a stick, cone, or their hands around the rim of the large catching bowl, gathering the sugar strands into portions.    

    Did you taste the cotton candy? If you no, never mind~~Let me describle to you. It is sticky and sweet,  Although it feels like wool to the touch, it dissolves quickly in the mouth.  It is soft and fluffy when dry but it comes in contact with moisture, it becomes sticky and damp.
