Althouse: The top 10 ad icons.

December 17, 2005

From AdAge. (Via Drawn!) Wait! Where is Mr. Peanut? I can't accept this list!

Wade Garrett said...: Ann, Mr. Peanut is a good one; Joe Camel also comes to mind. The biggest surprise on the list, in my opinion, was Elise -- I only recall seeing it a couple of times. Is it a generational thing?

Honorable mention: the fictional "Mr. Butts," of Doonesbury fame!; 12/17/05, 8:36 PM

Icepick said...: And technically, The Mouse isn't an ad icon, but a movie character. Maybe that will help you sleep.; 12/18/05, 8:26 AM

Where's the Gerber Baby, probably one of the most long running "icons" going. From the 1920's 'til now.; 12/18/05, 10:36 PM
