From cake mix origins and anti-smoking mints to Baby Yoda and Funko Pop hybrids, this episode is packed with quirky facts, collector gems, and a whole lotta PEZ love. Hear how PEZ evolved through the decades, discover the rarest dispensers (looking at you, Space Gun and World's Fair Astronaut B 👀), and find out why Santa Claus still tops the PEZ charts.

PLUS – Greg celebrates over 2,000 downloads in 30 countries and shares why this community is the real magic behind the plastic heads and brick candy.
