1970s PEZ on Cards

It's not very often you get to see 1970's PEZ dispensers on cards for auction on eBay.  However, a couple days ago there was a seller who had three available: Road Runner, Popeye, and Donald Duck.  Below are photos of them.  Popeye went for the most at $189.50 with 14 bids.  Donald Duck sold for $96.01 with 10 bids.  Road Runner went for $64.99 with 11 bids.

I appreciate the simple packaging back then and really like the dark green card for Popeye.  The back of the card is interesting in that PEZ dispensers are referred to as "puppets".  This must've been a marketing idea to try to appeal more to kids.  Does anyone know during what years the PEZ company was using this "puppet" term on packaging instead of "dispenser"?  Just curious.
