10 Mascots From Your Childhood You Haven't Thought About In Years

By Tanya
It seems like every product, store and restaurant needed to have some kind of mascot to try and make kids love it more. Kids held a lot of power over the shopping choices apparently, because it seemed like everything was targeted to them.
