New flavors and – Elvis Pez-ley?
For the first time, PEZ Candy is expanding its product
line into a new product category with the new PEZ Mini Mints. The new
sugar-free mints, in Orange and Mint flavors, feature dispensers based on
the original PEZ dispenser design of 55 years ago as well as licensed art
in a variety of categories. This is the first time that PEZ has expanded
its product line into a new product category.
And for 2008, PEZ will feature Elvis on the retro
dispensers for the Mini Mints project. All four officially licensed
images represent Elvis from the 1950s through the 1970s. Two images are
from paintings, Elvis in the gold suit and the moody blue image of Elvis;
and the other two, Elvis Presley blues and Elvis 30th Anniversary, are
images from Elvis Presley Enterprises Ltd.
PEZ Mini Mints tie in with the Elvis Presley 30th
Anniversary celebration this year, held during Elvis Week 2007 in August.
The Elvis PEZ dispenser will be available in January 2008.
PEZ has been a part of American candy history and pop
culture for more than 50 years.
Generations of people have grown up with and collected
PEZ, adding great nostalgic value to the brand. PEZ Candy and Dispensers
were introduced in America in 1952. Market research with children led to
the introduction of fruit flavors and the addition of collectible character
heads featuring top licensed characters.

Hello again, Joe Bazooka
Topps introduces the new Bazooka Bubblegum, answering
consumers’ calls to ditch last year’s new rectangle gum in a
twist wrap with the comics printed in two colors on the inside of the
packaging. This year heralds the return of the classic Bazooka shape, the
beloved square chunk of bubblegum surrounded by a cut-and-fold wrapper that
includes iconic four-color comics and a more vibrant graphic.
Topps brands, including Bazooka, Push Pop, Baby Bottle
Pop and Juicy Drop Pop, will appear in the Warner Bros. live-action
“Speed Racer” summer movie, coming to theaters in May 2008.
Topps and Warner Bros. are planning to overlay the Topps movie branding
with TV, online, sweepstakes and merchant components.
