Monthly: Psychedelic Flower Pez Plush,
you have just started hitting the stores in the last
month or so. As a newcomer to the Pez world, why don't
you tell us a little about yourself?
Psychedelic
Flower Pez Plush: Well, Pez decided
to bring back some of their vintage dispensers, such
as the elephant, the pony, and of course, yours truly,
the psychedelic flower. Only instead of making them
typical dispensers (as if any Pez dispenser is typical!)
they made us into stuffed animals. Well, stuffed dispensers,
I guess. And man, it feels good to be here!
PM:
And it is certainly glad to have you here. What's
more, I do believe that you are the first Pez item
interviewed by this publication who has a zipper.
What is the deal with that?
PFPP:
I
am glad you asked. You see, being made of polyester
does have its disadvantages. First, there are the
disapproving stares you get from people
|
who
prefer cotton. But more importantly, it makes it awfully hard
to have a spring-loaded mechanism from which to dispense fruity
Pez to kids of all ages. So instead, I am equipped with this
zipper around my neck.
PM:
You weave a web of intrigue with your comments, Psychedelic
Flower Pez Plush. What, pray tell, does a zipper have to
do with dispensing Pez?
PFPP:
Well, the bad news is that I do not dispense actual Pez
candy. That is unfortunate, I'll grant you. But the good
news is that I dispense a stuffed likeness of a Pez candy.
You just zip me open, pull it out and there you go. It's
like two, two, two Pez in one. Just remember not to eat
the stuffed Pez inside. It may look tempting, but it is
not for eating purposes.
PM:
That is a good point to remember. Do you ever feel any separation
anxiety when someone pulls out the stuffed Pez candy, as
if they are ripping out a part of your soul as well?
PFPP:
I won't lie to you, at first it was very hard. I felt dizzy
and lightheaded. Then I remembered that with that stuffed
Pez candy no longer inside me, I actually do weigh less. And
it is always difficult to see people pass around the stuffed
Pez candy, and sometimes even play an impromptu game of Pez
plush football. But in the end, they always put the Pez back
inside of me. It's a luxury that typical Pez dispensers can't
afford, unfortunately, but it does make me feel all warm inside
to know that it happens to me.
PM:
I can see why, Psychedelic Flower Pez Plush. You seem to
be adjusting well to the Pez life. Do you have any particular
complaints about your lot in life?
PFPP:
Well, I am not one to complain. But without a doubt, my
lack of peripheral vision is a real bummer. Just try to
imagine going through life with only one eyeball on top
of your head. It's really great for counting ceiling tiles
or imaging shapes in the clouds, but not for much else.
Still, I am a Pez, and that is what counts. I may just be
a stuffed Pez, but I am the stuff that dreams are made of.
And polyester.
