EDITOR'S NOTE: The Quaker Oats Man, The Green Giant, Speedy Alka-Seltzer, Snuggle the teddy bear, the Hamm's Bear, Frito Bandito, Josephine the plumber, Mrs. Olsen, Mr. Whipple, the Tidy Bowl man and Toilet Duck. There's no end to the parade of personalities created to hawk products. Which is why this ad was so successful. Advertising that makes fun of advertising usually is. Because our audience really is smarter than a 7-year-old.
