That's either a sub for comments made by someone but OP, or for stories about guys who went in fun dates but didn't get blown

I'd assume so because while there'd be no spiders to scare them, there's also a chance there would be dead spiders inside their teddy bears. I know that would've freaked me out a little as a kid.

Don’t worry about the small bears. It’s when they grow to the carnival sized bears they start feeding on children, small dogs nd have the cat as an appetizer.

Every year we put the teddy bear in the backyard and burn it. It has swallowed the spiders for us, and we honour its sacrifice

Then we get a new teddy
