I got a bunch of laptop DC jacks packaged like this. I was wondering what that was about. I didn’t realize you could pick and place large through hole components like that.

I was at Electronics East last year (old NEPCON) and got a hold of some Smarties candy that was packaged in those strips. Pez adapts very well to that form factor!
Ok, as an avid Pez collector of some 30 years now, I may have to get some of this. Is this a gag or true?

I’m guessing the pez logo is just lazer etched on the back of a perfectily sized empty reel.

But is it ROHS compliant?

the PEZ logo was embossed on by the factory

Is this part included in your Eagle CAD libraries?
Too cool!

What’s the reel quantity and pricing? Does Digikey have them in stock? Does Jelly Belly do this too?
