Whataburger is a fast food restaurant chain in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States regions. These restaurants historically featured an A-framed orange and white stripe roof and the company logo is an orange and white striped W. The restaurant teamed up with PEZ to have a uniquely molded dispenser with their logo! The typical Whataburger restaurant is featured on the card graphics. This is a great promotional pez and it is so nice to have something with a unique head instead of a printed truck or puck or ball! Kudos to Whataburger for a great promotional pez! We have these available mint on card or loose to save on shipping!

The Kactus Pez are scheduled to begin shipping June 1. These anthropomorphic Saguaro cacti appear as male and female versions and we think Spike and Barb would be excellent names for them! They are cute as can be! These will come mint on card with pez candies.
We are looking forward to the June release of the new Lion King Pez assortment which is supposed to include updated dispensers with new stem colors. The assortment will still include Mufasa, Simba, Nala, Pumbaa, and Timon. Just as Disney is producing a remake of the 1994 Disney classic for release this summer, an update to the the original 2004 Lion King pez set is definitely welcome!
There will also be a pair of twin pack with the updated Simba and Nala dispensers and a second with Pumbaa and Timon, both featuring new Lion King graphics!
Funko POP! +PEZ variations are lots of fun! The Quaker Oats Crunchberry Beast A has spots with no outline and the B version has a black outline around each of the spots. The original Jean LaFoote (Version A) does not have black lines between the teeth and the skull on the pirate hat is completely different than the one in version B. We have a few of the original Crunchberry Beast and Jean LaFoote remaining and we also have the B versions in stock.
