I find mascots fascinating (and a bit disturbing).  Here are some of my favorite weird mascots:

Booberry is a Peter Lorre-esque apparition who shills blueberry cereal.

This really freaked-out small bird is the mascot of Ctown Supermarkets where I buy the majority of my food.

Frankenberry is a reanimated corpse who sells pink sugary cereal (kindly notice the steam whistle installed on his head).

Scrubbing bubbles frolic through your bathroom when your back is turned.

The Noppon Brothers somehow represent Tokyo Tower (which I now never wish to visit).

Chief Wahoo is the famously bigoted face of the Cleveland Indians (just kidding, please don't sue me, MLB).

This disconcerting child is Sento-kun, the official mascot of Nara in Japan.

Here is the wild turkey from Wild Turkey bourbon--a truly excellent mascot for a superior product.

Uncle O'Grimacey only arrives in March when McDonalds sells Shamrock Shakes.

These Japanese Mascots want you to give blood.

I may have gotten in over my head by including Japanese mascots.
