How much do you know about mascots?
THIS WEEK’S BUDGET announcement was met with plenty of criticism from opposition parties, and many of those taking aim at the government’s VAT cut for the hospitality sector focused on the benefits it will give to fast food chains like McDonald’s.In levelling his criticism of the VAT cut, Labour’s Ged Nash resurrected a McDonald’s mascot from the burger chain’s cannon – The Hamburglar.Nash said the budget was a boon for “burger barons and big builders”.Advertisement“The Hamburglar from the 1980s McDonald’s ad is back in town swiping hundreds of millions in his swag bag from PAYE workers,” he said.That got us thinking about other mascots that have been lost to the sands of time – and some of the more obscure and bizarre ones knocking around today.So today we’re asking, how much do you know about mascots?What's the first name of this anthropomorphic, cereal-obsessed tiger of Kellog's fame?ShutterstockTiggerTravisTrevorTonyThese two penguins - Hogo-chan and Sara-chan - are mascots for an initiative from the Japanese government.
