Today’s newsletter shared a hack for using a PEZ dispenser to get kids to smile, but there’s a lot more to this 80-year-old candy phenomenon.

For instance, there’s the story of the man who dropped everything to follow his dream of creating a PEZ dispenser MP3 player. Taking out multiple loans along the way, he made it. Secured the rights, got 1,500 manufactured, and sold out his entire first run! (Get on his mailing list if you’re interested in buying one.)

And then there’s the gallery of art made from PEZ dispensers, no two alike, and the clay model “Fallen Rapper” PEZ dispenser prototypes created by a fan.
