Did someone say Dad's Root Beer? I normally try to find a name for the various mascots, and almost gave up on Dad's until I found this ...

The image of the young boy featured on the "Junior sized" bottle is Barney Berns son, Gene. Barney Berns was one of the co-developers of Dad's Root Beer in the 1930s.

Hmmm ... I learn something new every day.

Meet Gene Berns

Dad's had three Papa size, Mama size and Junior size, with corresponding mascots for each.

True - true - true ...

And speaking of dads, here's a photo of my father in 1934 (age 12). And next to him is his faithful mascot "Prince." Dad grew up and worked on the family chicken ranch until he joined the service in 1942. Dad turned 88 last June and is looking forward to our annual trip to Las Vegas this fall.

I am sure there are other mascots we haven't thought of yet, and if you find one please post it. In the meantime I wanted to conduct a little survey and have each of us vote on which mascot we like best. Please note this voting is for all members whether you posted a mascot or not. I thought it would be something fun and different for this labor day weekend. I realize many of you will be celebrating this weekend, and possibly gone from home. So I will save the final vote tally for a day later next week.

Please vote for the one you like best, and that you might use if you had a soda pop brand of your own.

They are listed below in the sequence in which they were posted.

1. Coke's Sprite
2. Hire's Ugly Kid
3. 7up Fresh-up Freddie
4. Mt. Dew Willy Hillbilly
5. Tip's - Tip (snowman or whatever he is)
6. Pepsi Pete

I actually had to think about this for awhile. But after careful consideration my vote goes to ...

~ Willy the Hillbilly ~

And in support of my candidate here is a YouTube link showing Willie's first TV commercial from 1966.
