Nozzles (6) for fuel dispensing devices are equipped with system that enable anyone fueling a vehicle to participate in an interactive activity. Those nozzles (6) can have those systems (54) integrally incorporated therein, or those systems can be incorporated into boots (40) that are designed to fit over standard nozzles (6). The systems (54) include a power source (84), an on-off switch, and one or more of the following systems: identifying the user, conveying information from the user to a remote location, sensing and communicating current environmental conditions, an interactive game, conducting a survey, coupon dispensing, delivering a sound or an audio message, providing visual information, a counting mechanism and/or an illumination system. As such, games, quizzes, surveys, and passage of information and promotional materials can be carried out in conjunction with the use of the nozzle assembly. A nozzle also can include a spout composed primarily of a plastic material.
