Think back to when you were a kid, did you have a pez dispenser ?. Mine was Wilma Flintsone. They were a pain in

22. Did a job for a guy in Ohio once

He was old but was bed-ridden after a hip replacement, so he directed me to the basement where the equipment was kept.

The stairway walls were lined with a bunch of lacquered puzzles, which was unusual but kind of cool. Then I reached the basement and saw (as he informed me) 3,600 Pez dispensers standing neatly on custom wood shelves.

It never occurred to me that so many varieties even existed. Sport figures, Disney, Simpsons, Muppets, Star Wars, and so on.

Turns out he and his son started collecting when the son was young, and now that the son has grown up and moved out, the dad maintains the collection as a reminder of those days.
