America's Favorite Flavor Meets Everybody's Favorite Dispensible Candy

Introducing -- For the First Time -- Chocolate Flavored PEZ Candy

ORANGE, Conn., June 6 /PRNewswire/ -- PEZ Candy, Inc. introduces America's
favorite flavor to its product line next month. With the addition of
chocolate, PEZ now offers 13 flavors of its familiarly shaped candy tablets.
Prior to this announcement, the two most recent additions were cherry and
raspberry, both of which were introduced in 2005 (raspberry for the first
time, cherry returned after a long hiatus). Some of the more unusual PEZ
flavors that have appeared -- and then disappeared -- include anise, licorice,
eucalyptus and chlorophyll.
