Pez Convention

text sizeAAA
May 1, 1999

Daniel speaks with Richard Belyski (Beh-LISS-ski) a 41-year old cop from Long Island who ORGANIZED a convention in Orange, Connecticut dedicated to trading PEZ dispensers. Pez are those small peppermint candies dispensed from plastic gizmos with wacky cartoon heads on top. The dispensers are now collectors items and can be worth thousands of dollars. Daniel also talks to a Pez collector from Austria, where Pez were invented, and he says they were originally designed as an anti-smoking aid.
