STUFFED COKEY THE BEAR
$30 from Kentucky For Kentucky Fun Mall

I’m sure you remember Cocaine Bear, the pop culture superstar, movie legend and object lesson in “Just Say No.” Well, as I have mentioned in PopCult before, he currently resides in Lexington, Kentucky, at The Kentucky For Kentucky Fun Mall.

In fact, your humble blogger and his lovely wife just saw him there yesterday. No lie!

Our next pick in The 2024 PopCult Gift Guide is a plush rendition of this ursine superstar, wearing the State Trooper’s cover he currently sports, while holding three fresh bricks of cocaine…and with a few telltale specks on his nose.

This is a perfect gift for the lover of plush animals on your holiday shopping list. It’s also great for fans of the Cocaine Bear movie. It’s also a surefire winner for folks who just love bears. And it’s also a kick for the person on your holiday shopping list who really loves cocaine!

Let me turn it over to the KY4KY product description:

Kentucky for Kentucky aka The Home of Cocaine Bear aka The Keepers of Cokey aka The Protectors of Pablo have sketched and sculpted and worked and reworked to bring you a fully custom plushie available nowhere else in the world!

We can’t put a price tag on the real stuffed Cocaine Bear so we’ve recreated ole Pablo as a smaller, cuter, and fluffier Cocaine Teddy Bear with bricks of cocaine and signature blue hat. And we added a little nostalgia with a Cocaine Bear™ hang tag complete with Cokey’s birthday and a poem. Get yours today! You never know, they could be selling miniatures of these in Happy Meals someday.

You can read the story of how Cocaine Bear came to reside at the Kentucky Fun Mall here, as well as Cocaine Bear’s numerous press reports.

Super soft black plush stuffed bear. ~10″ tall sitting. Fully custom. Designed by The Hern. Cocaine not real. Hang tag poem reads:

“Straight to it’s heart the cocaine went,
This party animal got completely bent.
From the Chattahoochee Forest straight to you,
Cokey wants a hug and maybe a bump too.”

I have to confess, I got this for Mrs. PopCulteer last year, and we were thrilled to see that they still had plenty in stock. In fact, they have a ton of Cocaine Bear products available, from T Shirts to Christmas Ornaments to “Blow” Globes and more. Check out their website for ordering info.

Because everybody loves snow at Christmas!
