The Discovery Of A Gem In Burlingame Sparks A New isocket Pez Tradition

by Ryan Hupfer on December 7, 2009

I’m not sure why, but for some reason when John and I saw the Pez Museum as were walking back from lunch last week, it was something that I just couldn’t seem to get out of my head. So much, in fact, that I kept on thinking about ways that we could incorporate the newly discovered ultimate mecca of all things Pez into our company culture here at isocket.

You see, creating a fun and creative work environment is something that I plan on putting a lot of my own personal time into and is also something that both John and Zak feel is very important to the overall success of our business. I know that creating a great company culture isn’t all about doing not-so-ordinary things with museums that are dedicated to bite-sized candy, but it does give us some great stories to tell in the future.

With all of this in mind we decided to make a scheduled stop at the Pez Museum so that we could get some shots with the it’s biggest claim to fame — the world’s largest Pez dispenser ever made. We stopped by after a tasty team lunch to say goodbye to our super-intern Toh Hong Pang (HP) as he is heading back to his home country of Singapore here soon, so we thought that it was only appropriate he be the first recipient of the monster-sized Pez snowman.

Of course, the world’s largest dispenser of Pez doesn’t just give out those tiny, little candies. Instead, it dispenses a numbered and certified snowman Pez dispenser that properly commemorates the special moment. Here are some pics we took during our first (but not last) trip over to the museum, including the official Guinness Book of World Records certificate for being the biggest Pez dispenser in the entire world. Enjoy.
