When I see something like this, I get pissed. Not because of what it is or what it represents, but because I didn’t get to play with stuff this cool when I was young. It’s a Pez dispenser that’s also a toy gun. It shoots delicious, delicious Pez. How freaking cool is that?
Unfortunately, these were taken off the market because, apparently, having kids stick a gun in their mouths and pull the trigger is a no-no.
i like this toy. i do not own this toy. i would very much like to own this toy. please sell me this toy. or out of the goodness of your heart, give me this toy. and in return, i will give you money.
great post & an even greater find!

As funny as that would be, I would still prefer an iPhone.
Of course I am poor, so I have to settle for a virtual iPhone http://interactiveiphone.com

I would also like one of these, although if there were any on eBay the price probably just went through the roof…

e-bay my friends. Looks like this sparked some interest so the price is rather high.

I totally had this idea in high school for a mass media commercial project. a gun-like delivery device for small, tart’n'tiny like candies.
i was never allowed to make that commercial, but i was certain it would have sold terrifically.
i’m now saddened that i wasn’t the first. this would have been my “million-dollar idea”.

The reason for the travesty that this ‘gun’ is no longer on the market, is because some snowflake with helicopter parents pointed it at their mouth and proceeded to choke as the Pez hit the back of their throat and killed ‘em on the playground while all their friends laughed at the pathetic pile of doughy fatness gasping for air in the sand.

I’m sorry, it’s just me, but the whole PezGun idea falls into my “worst taste ever” category. Even if I did share it as a joke.

I would NEVER let my son have this. Maybe it’s because I have guns, (and Yes… I want one) but no kid should ever have one of these.

I will agree the pez gun is pretty cool. I can’t wait for the pez bazooka gun.

Being a no-no it’s the most idiotic thing it can be.
What about water pistols in summer where kids drink the water from the pistol?
I done a billion times when I was small.
Has always retarded adults tend to put their horrifif vision of the world in the simple playfull world of kids. let kids shoot candies and rainbows u tard censuring folks.

Sweet, I like, but I’m also an owner of multiple handguns so the joke is there. This would also be great for pointing at the folks who cut me off driving every morning, for now I use a real gun, establishes a point I suppose but would rather use a fake gun. Don’t cut me off (red jeep) Marine sticker on the back.

I can just see the catch-cry:
“Pez. It’s like an explosion in your mouth!”
How did these even get made?! Hilarious.
They are cool… They also made a Spacegun that shoots pez too.

Could i be right in assuming that the majority of the ” omg! thats Sooo Freekin’ cool, Candy in a gun, i sooo want one of these, they Rock ” commentators are perhaps from the USA?
has it not dawned on anyone that the very concept of giving a child a pink happy coloured Pistol and knowing the first thing they will do, whether instructed or not,is stick it in their mouth and pull the trigger is sooo, freekin’ deeply disturbingly wrong? and of course a child dies doing this, and all his gun culture aclimitised playmates laugh as he lies dieing.
this just says so much about gun culture and the almost total acceptance of simulated killing in the US and other gun tolerant countries.
Gun Deaths 2007- Scotland = 60 (mostly hunting accidents)
USA = 68,000 of which 40% where suicides and of them 74% where young men under the age of 23. (source usa gov. website crime stats)
Lunacy. own a gun, get killed by it. start em young with Pez pistol. Super idea.
Tao, don’t forget to change your tampon, you bleeding vagina.
It’s a toy. It’s not the best idea, but it’s a toy. It’s likely not going to kill anyone, but some kid could maybe choke if the candy was shot out into their throat. Most of these gun toys barely eject the candy from the end of them, much less fire with enough velocity to hit the back of your mouth… but the risk was probably too great and they had to pull it.
I own a gun. Yes, a real gun. It’s a .38 revolver with no safety. Nobody is going to kill themselves with it. Nobody is going to kill me with it. I might have to kill someone else with it, but only if they break into my house and I know that they are an intruder and I would even give them notice and a chance to leave… but many people I know wouldn’t.
No one deserves to be brutalized or killed by another person in their own home. Gun ownership is not about a violent solution to a problem, but it is about protecting yourself and your family from others who might do you harm.
Outlawing guns doesn’t keep them out of the hands of criminals.
I won’t deny that there is a problem in the US with gun violence. I think it’s due to several factors that have nothing to do with gun ownership. Canada has pretty liberal gun laws, and they don’t have the problems that the US has.
OMG You Moderated my Comments! WOW. I’m they guy who POSTED the YouTube video which was the Number one Video of the Day, Top Rated, Top Favorited video of the Pez Gun two weeks ago. Maybe it’s just an Oversight on your part.
Television Spy is a slut.
Death by PEZ~! Yum~!
That’s just why they WERE taken off the market. Because of what Could happen with these “toy’s” in the hands of kids. Which is why you find these in the hands mostly of collector’s.. The only one that has a problem with it is my cat.. LOL …. But I guess if the United States was as SMALL as Scotland we would have low numbers too.. But from what I read it’s a safe bet I will not be Hunting in Scotland.. gator out
Part of me thinks it’s pretty clever–something nifty in concept but dreadful in execution, like “Finnegan’s Wake.” But ultimately I agree with Tao.
Maybe because I’m a Scots-American. Maybe not.
Any way you julienne it, I think that pezgator is a bit of a dim bulb.
The reason Scotland has such a low gun death rate is that, while long guns are allowed for hunting, handguns are pretty much outright banned. Long guns = killing animals a/k/a hunting. Handguns = killing people a/k/a murder and suicide.
I know that’s a generalization, but as generalizations go, it’s a pretty good one.
If you’re a hunter and you cross Scotland off your list, you’ve made a big mistake. Great game.
Now, if I may add a bit more surrealism to the discussion: since long guns are less often used to kill people, should the PEZ firearm be retooled as an automatic rifle facsimile?
I don’t think that would be much of an improvement.
How ’bout a banana land mine, or a Jolly Rancher shotgun?
Back to “Finnegan’s Wake”–just because it can be conceived doesn’t mean it should be executed.

yes, a tv add with kids sticking it in their mouths and pulling the trigger and smiling.:)
The actually gun that was pulled off the market was the first one produced, which was black with brown handgrips. It looked much more real then the one pictured. The one pictured was Pez.co’s response to the parental backlash that ensued, hence the bright orange fake looking colors. the orange one can be found regularly on ebay in the thirty to fifty dollar range, and the black one can go for anywhere from 50 to 130 depending on condition and the temp of the market. Beware however, there is a cheaper Red one that is a slightly different color than the orange one that is regularly pawned off as orange, There has been a large stash of the red ones found supposedly that has dropped the price of this item. It is unclear if this is a true story or a cover up story for a counter-fit operation. And before you ask, yes, people make counter-fit pez.
-Grozel-
So if it’s not good for kids…can’t they just sell it to adults instead? Please? I really want one. ;_;
They are cool… They also made a Spacegun that shoots pez too…
I had the Pez Spacegun as a kid. All you had to do was shoot a Pez into the back of your throat once and you never did it again…lesson learned. If you were to get killed with one of these things maybe you deserve a Darwin Award.
the pez guns are cool. i have one. i would never shoot it in my mouth tho…

I have one of these still and the space shooter version. Still fun to play with, and Pez tastes just as good.

Well, I guess that explains why Scotland will never invade America. I could just see an entire army of skirt-wearing Scots armed with golf clubs getting mowed down in seconds. Lol.
