PEZ and Brush Buddies collaborated on the Brush Buddies PEZ Poppin' toothbrush collection for kids, which takes inspiration from the mechanics of an iconic PEZ dispenser.
Although the toothbrushes themselves do not dispense candy, they are jam-packed with features to bring entertainment to the mundane task of brushing one's teeth. In the same way that PEZ dispensers are topped with the head of a playful character from pop culture, these toothbrush designs boast sanitary caps in the shape of Peppa Pig, PEZ Emoji characters and more.
When it is fully closed, the toothbrush truly does mimic a classic PEZ dispenser, but it has a retractable brush head with soft bristles that can be extended for use. These fun and engaging toothbrushes were developed to encourage kids to brush their teeth for the recommended time for optimal oral health.
