Another from the contest, huh?  Well, the key here, as with many of
the questions, is the wording.  The word being "nod".  However, there
is a bit of controversy as it relates to the answer.

Both Daniel Boone and Betsy Ross are the only two real-life Americans
to be memorialized as a Pez dispenser.  The controversy lies in the
fact that Paul Revere was also, however, the official name of his
dispenser was "Captain" and not his name.


Thanks for your question.  If you need any additional clarification,
please let me know.
