Pez Corporate Racism. Relax it's just a headline grabber.


I'm so tired of banging this drum,
Pez Corporation, Will you please just make a Black Santa Claus, so we can be done with this.

Like Buck Owens said, "Santa Looks A Lot Like Daddy".

In The entire 70 year history of Pez Corporation, Pez Outlaw not the company is the only person to release a Black Santa Claus Pez Dispenser n he was hunted down n destroyed for doing it.




Pez Corporation it would be so easy for you to shut me up on this Black Santa Racism thing.
Just call China m tell them to make 100,000 Black Santas this year n mix them in with the white Santa's for Christmas.
Unfortunately I've been saying this very same thing for going on 25yrs now. 

One more time Pez Corporation.
Santa Claus is Black, Hispanic, Japanese, Chinese, etc.
To be literal, it's all about who or what ancestry your daddy or mommy is.
It's such a simple n basic thing, I just don't know how to explain your stubbornness on this.

The Day I released the REJECTED Black Santa Claus is the day I became Pez Outlaw.

Pez Outlaw, Corporate Whistle Blower.
Can I please get Whistle Blower protection as written under Federal Law?

After I release the Black Santa Claus I became the most Hunted, disparaged, maligned person within the Collecting world. Pez Corp had one goal from that day forward, "Destroy Pez Outlaw At All Cost's, No Matter What You Have To Do".

2020 ☑️ PEZ OUTLAW FOR PRESIDENT #pezoutlaw #hollywood...

Racism 

Almost 25yrs later and still no Black Santa has been released by Pez Corp. Make me a Liar Pez Corp, release a Black Santa Clause for Christmas this year. I've made this taunt each year for over a decade now, so far no black santa.

Over half of the worlds population is non white, yet the only Santa Pez Corporation will release is White.

For over 50yrs the only Santa Claus Pez Corporation will release is white. When I released the Pez Corp rejected prototype Black Santa, I an unknown became the most wanted and Hated person on planet Earth by PEZ.
 
Pez Outlaw - SJ Glew, The biggest Pez Dealer in the world for 5 years in the 1990s. Spent more than 2 million dollars buying over 2 million Pez dispensers. Made over 70 trips to Europe buying Pez, paying bribes and smuggling Pez dispensers. Pez Outlaw had a very big impact on an entire line of Pez Corporate product causing the Pez Color War.  Over 20 Pez Dispensers were produced in direct result of Pez Outlaw activities by Pez Corporation. Distribution procedures in place for decades were altered because of Pez Outlaw Activities.

1st one
The Black Santa Pez Dispenser was rejected By Pez Corporation because of racial prejudice. Some of this was Austrian Pez Corporate Racism, some was an interpretation of perceived racism by Pez Austria about the USA. So Black Santa was deemed to offensive by Pez Corporation as a whole.

Black Santa is probably the most historic Pez Dispenser ever made by Pez without corporate approval. Reason being Pez Corporation was scared to death of him. Black Santa was very taboo, way to controversial to exist or do as a Pez Dispenser. For these historical reasons I believe my Black Santas are the rarest & most desirable Pez that exist. There were 3 different versions of my Black Santas. I know the politically correct answer to rarest is Make-A-Face. I disagree. Black Santa is rarest Pez as it was never meant to exist. Like Bubble boy, it was an in house rejection. Unlike Bubble Boy he was never mass produced. Make-A-Face was mass produced. Even Owl MMM was produced in larger numbers than Black Santa. 

Pez Outlaw shot to the most wanted & hated pez dealer after smuggling approximately 30 Black Santa Pez Dispensers into the USA. 

First I want to apologize, I only show you this Repugnant Racist image as proof of Pez Corporate Racism.


The picture below is a drawing of the image used on the top of chocolate pez display boxes in Hungary in the early 1990s.
I sold all the actual header cards for this image. Mary Anne Kennedy has one of them for sure. I think John Devlin has one. This is the image created by an artist for the pins I had made to commemorate Pez Corporations Bigotry.

Like I said the above image of COKO PEZ an African caricature on the box for chocolate pez candy was ok, but a black Santa Pez dispensers was to controversial. I believe the rational was African caricature as mascot for chocolate Pez ok, but a black person as an icon no way.

In the early 1990s the Coko Pez image was absolutely considered acceptable by Pez Europe for Eastern Europe.
 
Sexism 


Below is an Actual 1970 Pez advertisement.

Pez Corporation decided that a good way to sell toys to children was PORNOGRAPHY!
Think I'm kidding, Look at the advertisement below from Pez Corporation.

The Black-Market Smuggling history of Pez
The Black-Market Smuggling history of Pez Collectibles is a rich and storied one. Embrace that history with me. It was fun & exciting. Half the Pez in collections today come from it.

Yes most of what I did traveling and buying Pez dispensers was technically illegal in those countries. I broke a lot of rules if not actual laws. Why do you think I was so secretive about everything? Why do you think I felt safe after 10 years had passed to write Pez Outlaw Diary? Statute of limitations laws, that's why. An awful lot of fact fudging and little lies were used to get things done. Laws n rules were rearranged if you will allow me to put it in a sunny light. Where do you think the whole Pez Outlaw thing comes from, that I adhered to the straight n narrow?

What I did could not have been done by following the law.  I am also well aware of the fact that a couple individuals I did business with in Europe were caught doing similar things n prosecuted. The nitty gritty of it all is that only each individual person I dealt with and myself know these things and only I know the overall picture. Besides it has been well over ten years and I no longer travel or buy pez dispensers. Also any possible evidence is long gone. Funny thing is, it was when I tried going legit, buying legally from Pez Austria in 1998 that things went south. The irony does not escape me.

Did all the money go to Pez corp, sometimes but it was rare. Did some steal the product, yes I believe they did. Most odd color variation in pez collections today did not have corporate approval to be sold. Even the black Santa Pez dispensers were technically stolen as pez corp did not and never would have allowed there release. So technically every pez color variation not mass produced for sale by pez corp is a stolen pez dispenser. As are many rare pez dispensers still sold today. When a guy makes a special Pez dispenser and sells it into the pez hobby it is a stolen item. When someone finds or found a group or boxes of no feet pez dispensers and sells them to pez dealers. Do you think pez corporate sanctioned it, not very likely. One individual high up maybe, but it was not a Haas decision so it was stolen.

Pez corp has always been a funny company. Pez USA was owned by Pez Austria through a drop box for years n may still be. The company itself and many high up people have been doing a lot of dicey things for about 30 years. So many people who operate pez injection molding machines, manage pez injection facilities, run pez warehouses, head pez division or at corp have done hinky things that nobody says anything. Enough people have sold pez dispensers without corporate approval that nobody wanted to legally open that can of worms. Yes some small fish are fired or pursued, but not anyone who knows where the bodies are buried. It is usually handled in different ways. As Scott was handle for becoming to powerful and hacking them off. 

The company itself has done some pretty dicey things. The heck you say. Well for example the original King Louie, Balloo, Mowgli, Dalmation, Pooh, Thumper, Chip, Wyle, Road Runner, Merlin & Dumbo Pez dispensers. The company quit production for America so they stopped paying royalties for the characters. What you may not know is when copyrights are not renewed a brief limited window exists for the remaining production to be sold. Well these Pez dispensers were sold for years in areas east of Austria, and years later I was sold some very fresh inventory of Dumbo and Road Runner Pez dispensers. 

For those of us who bought pez dispensers in this gray complicated world, It's figured we will keep the secrets because if we don't we will be cut off, no more soup for you. By the very nature of what I was doing, it would have been more of a surprise if everybody I dealt with had been upright and honest. 

Some were good honest people, like everybody in Slovenia. When I bought there, payment was made by deposit in the pez corporate account.

You see several factors work against honesty and good behavior. Always cash only cash, so it is a cash business with very few records kept. The huge amounts of cash we are talking about, over the aprox 20 years this has been going on it has to be millions. My contribution in the worldwide black market of pez dispensers alone was in excess of 3/4 Million dollars and depending how you look at it is roughly 2 million dollars. 

S
ignificant portions of any sizable Pez collection were illegally obtained. 

After Pez Outlaw, I intend to retire.





Pez Corporate Fraud, Pez Color War, Restitution.
