Could this be it?

Quote:

and the only two real people PEZ ever memorialized in plastic. For the PEZ novice, that would be Betsy Ross and Daniel Boone.

PEZ has rarely depicted a real person - Betsy Ross, Paul Revere and Daniel Boone are the exceptions

This is what i found...not sure yet

Not sure where you found the Paul Revere information. Do you have a web site?

Well, I found the same question on
www.OutWitTheWest.net, but there was no clear answer.

The Paul Revere figure was simply designated "Captain," so it is often overlooked as one of the few "real person" dispensers.




aha. That's why I saw only two. Are you sure this is not the correct answer? Have you tried it?

By the way (as this is Funtrivia ) I only read on Ask FT yesterday what Pez actually means and now I've found a thread where I can share it!
It's the first, last and middle letter of 'PfeffErminZ', German for peppermint. Not a lot of people know that...
