On 6 February, Austrian Post will issue a special stamp featuring the classic PEZ design. 400,000 stamps will be printed in this special issue. The famous PEZ lady is featured on the stamp along with the original peppermint candy (Pfefferminzzuckerl) produced by the Austrian candy manufacturer of the same name.

The mint candy was invented by Eduard Haas in 1927 and was launched as a healthy alternative to smoking. Until the 1950’s, the mint taste, which was exclusive at that time, was mostly popular with adults. The candies were initially sold in small tins. Haas developed the special dispenser in 1948. The PEZ dispensers are now well-known all over the world. On average, PEZ produces four to six dispenser series every year, each of which features three to six characters.
