I gotta add The Staypuft Marshmallow Man

My father-in-law was the ad man-product design guy who came up with the idea of the Pillsbury Doughboy. He named it the Doughboy because his father had been a much-decorated and underage soldier  in WWI, and U.S. soldiers in WWI were known as as "Doughboys."

Leo Burnett copywriter Rudy Perz has been credited with the Pillsbury Doughboy idea, but in fact it was my father-in-law Norman Kosarin's baby. Among other things, my wife, then age 9, clearly recalls her dad -- also a Leo Burnett employee and still with us thanks be -- creating the Doughboy figure in their kitchen. He never made a big thing of it, regarding it as part of his job.

Interesting. Thanks for that info, Larry.
