Custom Star Trek Mr. Spock Pez Dispenser

Posted on May 21, 2012 by The Retroist

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to bring to your attention the wave of the future, the custom Pez dispenser. That’s right, I said CUSTOM. Why be like all those squares you see every day at the malt shop with their run of the mill dispensers of Pez? Instead be top dog with your own unique custom pez dispenser that will make all the kids go “Wow!”

And wow they will go, when you stroll in and flash this Star Trek Mr. Spock Pez Dispenser. Notice the prominent jaw? That stylish haircut? Those intelligent eyes? Well he also gives you candy!
