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 'oqranD 'e' vItul

There's a candy, popular in the US*, called "Pez".

Oh yes, of course I know them. They were famous when I was a kid, and even today are well known. I just don't use them so often that this pun came to my mind, but it'S very obvious now I see it. Great. Okrand is a genius with these things. :-)
