PEZ

Sugar tablets that mechanically protrude from some cartoon character's neck when you pull their head back.... How many of us have discarded an idea because it was stupid? Well the PEZ chaps decided to get rich off of one such idea.

There is one major flaw with PEZ. It's the sudden, surprising disappointment one gets when they realize they've just eaten the last PEZ in the stack. I like to be prepared for the last bite so I can savor it.

Oh and the cherry flavored PEZ tastes like medicine. It's not PEZ's fault really. I think medicine makers have overdone the kid-friendly cherry ploy. Ham flavored cough syrup would be just fine.
