Back in the 70s & 80s, nothing sold a product better than a great mascot or spokesperson. Everyone knew Mr. Whipple, Charlie the Tuna, and the Maytag repairman, and they became almost synonymous with the products they represented. We thought that they’d be around forever but times change and many of our beloved characters have been replaced. In this Backtrack, we remember some of our favorites and talk about what made them so memorable.
