Questions for the Jungle Mission Pez Dispenser

The versatility of the Jungle Mission
Pez boggles the mind. |
|
Pezhead
Monthly: Jungle Mission Pez, you are
one of the newest Pez dispensers out there. For those
readers unfamiliar with you, why don't you describe
yourself?
Jungle
Mission Pez: Well, I like long walks
on the beach, a nice, hearty chicken alfredo, and
the musical stylings of Mr. Englebert Humperdinck.
PM:
While that is quite interesting to
learn, I was hoping you could give us some details
about your life as a Pez dispenser. What sets you
apart from other Pez?
JMP:
Actually, a lot of things make me a
unique Pez collectible. Have you ever heard the term
"Renaissance Man"? Well, I am a "Renaissance
Pez," baby. Do you want light? I have a flashlight.
Do you want to read that small print? I have a magnifying
glass. Do you need to measure stuff? I have a ruler.
Do you get lost easily? I have a compass. Heck, I
even have a handy

clip that
can attack to a backpack or any number of similar items. Why,
I've got everything under the sun, except for the ability
to make waffles. But don't hold me to that, because you never
know when Pez will make a Jungle Mission Pez reissue.
PM:
Wow, you truly do have it all. No offense intended, but
I'm also noticing that you aren't exactly that modest about
all of your features, are you?
JMP:
Well, you know, it's hard to be humble when you are as multifaceted
as I am.
PM:
Point taken, I suppose. Jungle Mission Pez,
out of all of your state-of-the-art features, which one
do you think provides the best benefit to the Pez community?
|
JMP:
Well, in spite of all my various gadgets,
I think the best benefit I can provide is to continue
dispensing the fruity goodness that is Pez to kids
of all ages. You can get lost, get stuck in the dark,
or find yourself without a way to measure things,
but if you don't have a Pez, you're truly out in the
cold.
PM:
That
is a very good point from a very colorful and unique
dispenser. Jungle Mission Pez, you bring to mind a
spirit of adventure and exploration, from your totem
pole-style design to your very interesting display
card, and of course all of your many attached tools.
What are your thoughts on how this spirit fits into
the larger picture of Pez collecting?

When viewed by the naked eye, a Pez
wrapper is impressive. Shown here magnified by Jungle
Mission Pez, it is simply breathtaking. |
JMP:
I have to say that when I think of Pez, I immediately think
of adventure. The thrill of the hunt, the intrigue, the
drama, it is all there. After all, how many other hobbies
require you to hop in your car and travel the world, or
at least the interstate, in search of so many characters
and colors, stem variations, and countless new and vintage
dispensers? Instead of going to the movies, save your money,
hit the road, and be the star of your own Pez adventure.

Haiku #15
I thought
it was a
Current, but alas! The stem
Proclaimed "3.9."
An
Autumnal Pez Sonnet
As Summer's
final breaths are soon exhaled,
An Autumn child once again is born.
The days of grilling out and setting sail
Give way to falling leaves and paths of corn.
But Pezheads have no need to sulk and mourn,
No reason to despair the setting sun;
A season of conventions may be worn,
But new dispensers mark another one.
The leaves are yellow, green, and shades of red,
Much like the newest Pez of Halloween
That glow in darkness to be always seen.
So don't lament the season, but instead
Behold the colors and the change they bring;
To Autumn and to Pez rise up and sing!
