Weird Wednesday - Creepy Green Giant
I guess I generally think of the Green Giant as a lovable mascot since he was created in my home state, but this ad is totally creepy to me. Jolly Green is just supposed to be the man of the house, coming home to have his paper, slippers, and corncob pipe but instead he looks a creepy devil with an ulterior behind the niblets. What is in the niblets? Are the niblets taking over the world? Why won't the Corn Times tell us what is really going on? Ahhhhhhhh!?!

When I was a kid the Green Giant scared me. He still kinda does.
Me too! I liked little Sprout much better.
That version does look diabolical as compared to today's, doesn't he?
