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.
