CQ: How many Pez do you have?

I would say I have around 600 PEZ products, most of them being dispensers.

CQ: How did you get started?

When I was in high school I went to visit my brother in college. He went to Tulane University in Louisiana. When I was there for Mardi Gras, I ended up crashing in his roommates room. As I was impressionable, I noticed he had a shelf that lined the entire top of the room. It turn out he had a PEZ collection and it was all vintage PEZ. I just thought it was totally cool. Also, I would be going to college in two years so I thought it would be cool to do the same thing. That is where the collection started. After 40 PEZ dispensers I thought it would be cool to continue and so I did. I enjoy the taste of the candy, the fun dispensers and the history behind the candy. I still enjoy collecting and focus more on the vintage.

CQ: What is the most rare/unusual item in your collection?

The custom dispenser I have of the PEZ gone wild. It's a fantasy PEZ. A blonde woman flashing her b--bs with a sign at the bottom that say's "PEZ Gone Wild."

CQ: How did you come across it?

I found an artist that would create new and original PEZ for me. I got Abraham Lincoln, Bob Marley, PEZ Gone Wild and Osama Bin Laden.

CQ:  If you could start a new line of Pez, what would it be? Describe it.

I would do vintage cars, 60's & 70's muscle cars.

CQ: You work in TV production right? If you were to create a commercial, what product would it be for and which PEZ will you use?

I would do a fun commercial for PEZ. It would be this graphic world of PEZ vintage dispensers that could fly, sing and dance in this whole imaginary land. It would soon become a tv show and then to a PEZ movie staring Brad Pitt as Pez Boy. LOL.

CQ: What was the most surprising element about it?

How nice the people are. Not strange like I envisioned. It was very family oriented and cool to hang out with some of the hard core guys. Namely RED! Thanks for the PEZ shot. (That's one part vodka and 2 part PEZ powder.)

CQ: What is your “Holy Grail” item with regard to your Pez collection?

I would love a couple of the original Thor. Also the political PEZ, it's a clear red elephant. Looks like one of the crystal edition PEZ but before their time.
