One of the ten final beanies of 1999 was a black bear called "The End." It was this one in particular that gave the impression that beanies would be permanently discontinued at the start of the new millennium . As the poem in the hang tag read ""All good things come to an end, it's been fun for everyone, peace and hope are never gone, love you all and say, so long,"" this served to reinforce the belief that Beanie Babies may permanently cease to be produced.
