The
Big Rig Pez dispenser is rollin' right along.

Pezhead
Monthly: Thanks for joining us, Big
Rig Pez. You are one of the newest additions to the
Pez line-up and you are already creating quite the
buzz. Why do you think this is?
Big
Rig Pez: Well, I think variety is the
spice of life, or is at least a close second to paprika.
Lately it seems that dispenser after dispenser has
had feet, so that they could stand up in Pez displays
|
all around
the world. But just when you thought it was safe to stand
up your Pez dispensers, here I come. I don't have feet at
all; in fact, if you stood me up I stand a good chance of
falling over. Instead, I stand on my side, thanks to these
trusty wheels.
PM:
And what nice wheels those are. However, you aren't the
first truck dispenser to have wheels. In fact I believe
they have all had wheels over the years. So what sets you
apart from those trucks of Pez past?
BRP:
Let
me tell you, about fifteen years ago they brought
the Pez trucks back for the fourth time in the history of
Pez. From what I hear, everyone partied pretty hard when
that happened because Pez trucks are some of the most admired
of all the dispensers. I don't mean to toot my own truck
horn, I'm just saying. But when they brought the Pez trucks
last time, their wheels didn't move! I can't imagine how
frustrating that would have been. So in a way I am a callback
to the Pez trucks of before, but in another way I have been
souped up for modern times, and I was even given the cool
name "Big Rig."
PM:
I see. Big Rig Pez, I don't want to inflate your ego more
than it clearly already is, but I find this combination
of yours as a Pez dispenser and as a working toy truck all
rolled into one simply amazing. Do you think you could beat
a Hot Wheels car in a race?
BRP:
Now let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I might have
a big ego, but I'm not foolhardy enough to believe I'd stand
a chance against a Hot Wheels car, even if I was fully loaded
with Pez candy. I mean, it would be like Don Knotts racing
Dale Earnhardt Jr. That being said, in addition to simply
being pushed, I can also be launched if you pull my chamber
back and release it at just the right time, sending me into
rocket-like propulsion. Just don't pull too hard or I might
break, and also don't try it when there's tasty candy inside
of me. It's all fun and games until a Pez projectile causes
you to lose an eye.
PM:
That is oh so true. And on top of all of this, is there
an added bonus of being a Pez truck, when you yourself were
delivered to the store presumably in a truck?
BRP:
Definitely, that's a big deal. It really makes me appreciate
where I came from. Just as the truck rolled into town and
unloaded me for all to purchase and enjoy, I in turn get
to roll around and unload fruity goodness for kids of all
ages. It just blows my mind. Sometimes I forget just how
lucky I am to be a part of the Pez family.
PM:
Finally, Big Rig Pez, are you aware that the first letters
of your name bring to mind the noisy expulsion of gas from
the stomach through the mouth?
BRP:
I don't mean to answer your final question with a final
question, but have you seen what they serve at truck stops
these days? I'll tell you what, you'd be BRPing too.
