The sweetness of thy lips
By Never teh Bride
As far as innovative and wacky gifts go - and please note that I did not say “classy” or “useful” - few things can beat these limited edition bride and groom PEZ dispensers. Yes, they are kind of cute. But they also carry a hefty price tag. This is not your usual supermarket impulse buy PEZ. A little bride and groom whose necks split open to reveal chalky, fruity candy cost an outrageous $30.95. Five thousand sets are available and, from the looks of it, about 380 have been purchased so far.

Wow, those are…aren’t they?
If they were the same price as normal Pez dispensers, they might make amusing shower or reception favors, but at forty bucks a pop? And is it just me or does the bride Pez look butcher than the groom Pez?

It looks like Mr and Mrs Micawber!

It’s not just you, Twistie. Perhaps they shouldn’t have used the same head for both man and wife. She looks like she’s sporting a bad toupee.
That they do, GK!

The other bride and groom set (the caucasian one) is less expensive. And for those inclined to polyandry or polygyny, you can buy grooms or brides by the gross. Goodness!

I didn’t even realize that there were racially segregated PEZ brides and grooms. Why have caucasian all year round and make the apparently non-caucasian PEZ people limited addition? Truly weird.
Either way, if PEZ really thinks people should buy them as wedding favors, they should drop the price dramatically.
