I voted for the California Raisins.

I remember reading somewhere that Jodie Foster was the Coppertone girl in those old ads.

When I was very young the Butterfinger candy bar had an elephant as it's icon. I loved it so much that one time I kissed the TV and pulled it over on top of me :lol:

The California Raisins were cool when they first came out. I used to buy all the little Raisin figurines when they came out. I think my all time favorite is the AFLCA duck.

Those commercials are a hoot....you could make a drinking game out of them. The double meanings in the props are hilarious!! For instance: the wood, hole in one, wood stairs going up, the tall drink the wife is holding, the hose losing it's..um...erect status, the house number, I could go on. The ad agency responsible for those commercials should definitely win some prize. :lol: :lol: :lol:
