PezDispenser dispenser = new PezDispenser; Variable, or Instance?

At 5:11 in the video, Chris call 'dispenser' a new VARIABLE of type PezDispenser, and at 6:13 (or so), he called it an INSTANCE of class PezDispenser instead.

I've been inserting notes/comments from what Chris says as I go along so that I understand each line of code in the exercise. I've gone over this video a couple times, and, although I think I understand the gist of it, I'd just like to get this small point cleared up. Thanks, guys.
