Our first Cinnamon Hot Week posting is a wild one as it features a cinnamon hot flavor of a candy I never would have expected and had never heard of until recently:\u00a0 Hot Cinnamon Pez!<\/p>\n

Yes, although they might be best known for flavors like orange, cherry, grape, lemon and raspberry (and even cola and chocolate), back in the early 1960’s PEZ produced a hot cinnamon flavor I certainly would have loved!<\/p>\n

I have a nifty vintage sales flyer announcing the flavor to the candy trade:<\/p>\n

I suppose it’s a bit self-explanatory as to how their Hot Cinnamon flavor might have tasted, though I still wonder how it would have played out with the texture of a PEZ candy.<\/p>\n

Beyond that slick sales flyer I also have a super-cool piece to share – an actual Hot Cinnamon Pez candy wrapper!\u00a0\u00a0 Check it out:<\/p>\n

Having been produced and sold in the 1960’s, Hot Cinnamon Pez was a bit before my time, but if it had lasted a little longer and had I had the chance to try it, I wonder if I’d have been clever enough to pair it with a groovy 1970’s Fireman Pez dispenser?<\/p>\n

The last couple of decades PEZ has paid a good deal of attention to the many collectors that love their products.\u00a0 Through that attention they’ve produced some Pez dispensers I never would have guessed they’d ever make.\u00a0 I wonder if they’d ever extend that thinking to bringing back a forgotten Pez candy flavor like Hot Cinnamon?<\/p>\n

If they were to bring back Hot Cinnamon Pez candy, I’d suggest that they also put this laughing devil dispenser into production [Note: This is an unproduced prototype that I photographed while it was on display at the PEZ Visitor’s Center in Orange, CT<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

And that’s everything for today and our coverage of a forgotten Pez flavor – Hot Cinnamon.\u00a0 Drop by tomorrow for day two of our Cinnamon Hot Week.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
