Egg Baby Pez tries to maintain a
"sunny side up" approach to life.

Monthly: Egg
Baby Pez, you are part of the newly designed Pez Easter
set for 2004. This set also includes the new Bunny
Pez, Chick in Egg Pez, and Lamb Pez. What are your
thoughts on being part of the ever-growing Pez family?
Egg
Baby Pez: I've
got two words for you- Wowie and Zowie. It's one thing
to have the honor of being a new Pez dispenser. It's
quite another to join the exclusive club of holiday
dispensers. Lately it seems like a daytime talk show-
all the holiday dispensers are getting makeovers.
The Halloween and Christmas sets just got new designs
themselves. It's an exciting time to be a Pez.
PM:
That's
a good point, Egg Baby Pez. However, you have yet
to experience a makeover yourself, because unlike
your fellow three dispensers, you are the first of
your kind. There have been no other Egg Babies in
the history of Pez. Does this fact add any pressure
for you?

EBP:
Quite the opposite. I am actually pretty relaxed about the
whole thing. I mean, how many updates has Bunny Pez gone through?
How about Witch Pez or,
dare I mention, Santa Pez? It's clear that Pez is very, very
good to their holiday dispensers. It looks like I've got a
long road ahead of me, and that makes me feel pretty good.
PM:
I am glad to hear that, Egg Baby Pez. It sounds like you
have a pretty positive attitude. But, as I'm sure you know,
the reaction in the Pez community to your unique design
has been decidedly mixed. While some see you as a fresh,
new face in the Pez family, others find your design- and
please excuse the frankness- somewhat creepy. How are you
addressing this concern in the Pezhead community?
EBP:
I
know eggsactly what you mean (hee hee!). People want to
know- am I an egg that has mysteriously grown a face? A
baby trapped inside an egg? Something out of a David Lynch
movie? What I try to tell people is this: Pez beauty is
in the eye of the beholder. Some Pez dispensers are instantly
attractive and some are not. But inside, we are all the
same- we all store Pez, and we all dispense Pez to kids
of all ages. That makes me special forever. If I may quote
Christina Aguilera, and believe me I try to quote her everyday,
I am beautiful, no matter what they say.
PM:
Egg Baby Pez, I promised myself that I would not cry, and
you are coming dangerously close to making me breaking my
promise. Switching gears, as you know there is a rumor on
the Internet that the idea for an Egg Baby Pez was actually
submitted to Pez by Vanilla Ice. Can you confirm or deny
this rumor?
EBP:
I
can say with certainty that Vanilla Ice definitely has nothing
to do with me being here today. I believe that rumor started
based on his hit song "Egg Egg Baby," which he
later changed to "Ice Ice Baby" because it flowed
better. In fact, he pretty much had to rewrite the entire
song to make it flow better. However, he did leave one lyric
unchanged: Cookin' MCs like a pound of bacon. Every
once in a while I play that song and have myself a smile
or two. Bacon and eggs, a match made in heaven.
PM:
Thanks for clearing that up, Egg Baby Pez, and thanks for
sitting down for the Five Questions. Any final thoughts
to share?
EBP:
I would like to make a personal plea to the
Easter Bunny: this year, ditch the chocolate. It is overrated,
it's high in calories, it can make you break out in pimples
and hives, and it becomes messy if left in very warm temperatures.
This Easter, fill those baskets with some Pez dispensers
instead. It's truly the gift that keeps on giving.
