Question What is the plural for PEZ?

At work today we got into a discussion on what is the plural for PEZ?

We thought of the following:

PEZs
PEZi
PEZ dispensers

Anyone have a better idea?

Does it need to have a plural? I honestly don't know because I am terrible with grammar.

But my vote is definitely for PEZi.

I bust words out every once and a while with i for plural, like pepperonii, trying to be funny. It turns out I am not that funny. So not sure what my vote is worth now.

The corporate site speaks of Pez dispensers and Pez candies.

It's PEZ...just like the plural for deer is deer...moose is moose...elk is elk.

If you are lucky enough, you have a herd of Pez!

Well maybe it's kinda like the plural for beer.

You know, if you have two bottles of Keith's you would say I have two beer. But if you have a bottle of Keith's and a bottle of Pil, the you would say I have two Beers. Same thing with Fish/Fishes.

Therefore I declare that if you have two grape Pez then you indeed have two Pez. But if you have a grap and a strawberry then you have two Pezes.

I have spoken!

I think its an adjective, so it doesnt actually have a plural. It can modify both single and plura words though

pez dispenser
pez dispensers

I think officially they are called lego blocks.

But another thing that bugs me is when you have a package of Halls throat losenges, and someone says something like "Hey, can I have a halls?". Halls is the plural damnit!!!!

Neon. in refrence to the lighting.
Dumbasses say I got under car neons. The plural for neon is neon.
Unless we are refering to the cars them selves.
