SODA POP MASCOTS

He is another Tip ad which shows him a bit better. The cap is red with Tip written on it. It is also the same color as the caps that Tip was using.

Hey Morb ~ Thanks

I was just doing some research on that little dude, but didn't find very much. But I am beginning to think his name must have been Tip. Also, I zoomed the last ad you posted and noticed that little shyster is accepting a coin (tip) from the man next to him. The nerve! It's the "red cap" carring the luggage, not Tip! []

Here's a photo of Captain Kangaroo to show how I connected the two caps. But I'm still not sure if Tip's cap is railroad related or seamen. (The first ad was on the sea - the last one is at a railroad station). ??? [:-]

SODAPOPBOB -

No, I meant how to post an image from the web, not post an image from my hard drive. (I have already posted an image here from my hard drive.) In another forum, the [IMAGE][/IMAGE] thingie works for showing a picture from the web, but apparently not here. There is the the link thing, but that requires a mouse-click to see the image.

I'm not familiar with the [/Image] thingie ... but use "right click" / "Save as" for photos all the time.

Anyway, I mainly came back to post this info on "Fresh-Up Freddie" that I thought was of interest also. I didn't realize until now that he was Disney created.

Fresh-Up Freddie was the rooster mascot for 7 Up in 1950s. He gave viewers lessons about how to plan successful parties and picnics by having a plenty of 7 Up on hand. The commercials were produced by Disney, giving the character that specific Disney look of the time.[23] Freddie was a crossover between Panchito rooster from The Three Caballeros and zany Aracuan Bird from the same film. Fresh-Up Freddie often was dressed in human clothes. Freddie also appeared in Zorro 1957 series commercial intermissions. Here, he was put against Pete the Cat. Fresh-Up Freddie also had a minor merchandise of his own. He was voiced by Paul Frees.[/align]

There's Mr. Crushie for Orange Crush.

Does the 'bubble girl' on 7-Up bottles count?

The smiley Kool Aid pitcher for Kool Aid. I think his name is "Kool". I know Kool-Aid isn't a soda but there are bottles; I have a deco embossed Kool Aid bottle.

There's the yellow-haired kid for Squirt. Probably his name is "Squirt".

By the way, if you go to Google and click on Images at the top and then put "soda ads" in the search window, you will see LOTS of kool soda ads! Putting "soda advertisements" in the search box will result in a few other ones too.

You're 100% right! All of this mascot stuff (and just about anything and everything soda pop related) can be found on Google and elsewhere. But it's just not as much fun nor in the same spirit of sharing as this ...

In 1941, a mascot named "Little Squirt" was introduced to the product lines marketing to personify the brand. The mascot proved useful in broadening public awareness of the product. Squirt became a popular soft drink in many parts of the country.

SPBOB..I didn't know about Pepsiman until last night when I was doing some googling...

That last Tip ad shows TIP on the "frostie-looking characters' hat.

You noted Coca-Cola's Sprite, but as a seasonal "mascot" Coke used Santa Claus and their latest "mascots" would (I guess) be the Polar Bears.

 

[whiskeyman]

how many recall Cool Spot ? the 7-UP mascot ?

 

[whiskeyman]

Frostie keeps getting mentioned, so may as well throw him out here...
