Pez originated in Austria and is short for Pfefferminze, so I expected it
is still popular in Europe, not just the US, so that many would understand
the pun immediately.

The word {peS} will fill a demand, I expect, since it seems like it could
be used for provide, ration, distribute, equip, etc., verbs that indicate
giving stuff piecemeal from a larger store of the stuff. I definitely
recall requests for a word for "provide." lI'bogh latlh mu' law' peS marq
