Five Questions for Valentine's Day Teddy Bear Pez

There's a whole lotta love for Valentine's Day Teddy Bear Pez.

Pezhead Monthly: Thanks for stopping by, Valentine's Day Teddy Bear Pez. You're the latest addition to the Valentine's Pez family, and you're also one of the few non-heart dispensers in the set, along with the recent Cherub Pez. How about them apples?

Valentine's Day Teddy Bear Pez: Well, I don't see any apples around, but I can tell you that it feels great to be a Pez dispenser. The teddy bear is an iconic cultural item, beloved by all for generations. Much like Pez! The combination is indeed a perfect one, and I feel lucky to be a part of it all.

PM: That's good to hear. And, it's also worth noting that you happen to have your full body atop a Pez dispenser. Not many other Pez dispensers can say that, can they?

VDTBP: Indeed they can't. Most dispensers are topped with no more than a character head, but some of us have our entire bodies, such as R2D2, Scoop from Bob the Builder, Wall-E, and of course everyone in the Thomas The Train set. It is nice to be a bit more defined in that regard, although a head by itself can also say a lot.

PM: That it can, Valentine's Day Teddy Bear Pez, that it can. Are there any disadvantages to having an entire body on a Pez dispenser that you can think of?

VDTBP: Overall, no way! You know, the whole looking a gift Pez dispenser in the mouth thing. But I will say this much: Yes, I do have arms, but they are busy holding this "LOVE" heart. Not to complain or anything, but sometimes I get cramped holding it up. But at least I get to sit down, which is nice.

PM: I would imagine it would be. Now, I've heard talk of some confusion in the Pez world with your arrival. What's that about?

VDTBP: Okay, here's the deal. In 2003, there was a European-only set released for the Mr. Bean cartoon. One of those dispensers was Mr. Bean's Teddy Bear, which also happens to be another dispenser with a full body on top. Up until I came along, he was the only teddy bear, although there are plenty of other bears in Pez history, such as Baloo and Icee Bear. But we're cool with each other, and we realize that we are special in our own ways. So that's why I'm best referred to as "Valentine's Day Teddy Bear Pez." I know it's a mouthful, but now you know the rest of the story.

PM: That's quite interesting. Finally, Valentine's Day Teddy Bear Pez, in honor of the Valentine's Day holiday, I was wondering if you'd be kind to serenade us with a little song?

VDTBP: I thought you'd never ask. Hit it, Jerry!

Baby let me be your Pez Teddy Bear
Load some candy in my sleeve
and flip me anywhere
Oh let me be (oh let him be) your Pez Teddy Bear.

I don't wanna be a relic
Stuck in a Pez display,
I wanna tilt my head back
And give those tasty Pez treats all away

Just wanna be your Pez Teddy Bear
Load me up with candy bricks
And offer me to share
Oh let me be (oh let him be) your Pez Teddy Bear.

Baby let me be at your beck and call,
Full of fruity goodness and
Dispensin' it to all
Oh let me be (oh let him be) your Pez Teddy Bear.

I don't wanna be a relic
Stuck in a Pez display,
I wanna tilt my head back
And give those tasty Pez treats all away

Please let me be your Pez Teddy Bear
Load some candy in my sleeve
and flip me anywhere
Oh let me be (oh let him be) your Pez Teddy Bear.

Oh let me be (oh let him be) your Pez Teddy Bear
(I just wanna be your Pez Teddy Bear)
