Seven Days freelance photographer Daria Bishop started buying PEZ candy dispensers 20 years ago as holiday gifts for her young children. She loved the bunny rabbits at Easter and the Santa figures at Christmas. For Bishop, 57, it was less about the candy and more about the zany characters. As her kids grew, so did her PEZ collection — she now has about 600. PEZ is short for pfefferminz, German for "peppermint." The candy brand was founded in Austria in 1927.
