I delivered a Social Media session at a business conference many years ago (07? 08? Back when that was something novel), and ran a quiz on Website Logos with Pez Dispensers as the prize.
I also wanted to make a point about hype and bubbles and evolving business models over time (what I guess we would now call pivoting). The Pez Dispensers were a way to discuss unbelievable bubbles, and e-Bay which evolved from a Pez swap & sell site into the auction juggernaut.
I'm sure some of the people in the room were laughing at inflated values for Pez and Tulips, while also investing their money into mortgage-backed securities.
