GUEST,Songbob	BS: Who's the Quaker Oats guy? (70* d)	RE: BS: Who's the Quaker Oats guy?	09 Feb 11
Who was the Dutch Boy? How about the St. Pauli Girl? And the little girl with the sunburn and the damned dog pulling her shorts down -- Coppertone? whatever suntan lotion that was, anyway. I always thought the little girl in the "when it rains, it pours" ads looked a lot like "Mary Jane," she of the patent-leather shoes. I suspect that most of these icons don't have "official" names, but may have -- shock! -- "folk names" from the people involved in making the products. Has anyone ever asked the guys at Quaker Oats (the factory guys, not the suits) what they called the doofus? Similarly all the other ones we've mentioned. I bet there is a graduate thesis in this, at some University somewhere. Bob
