Carrefour Mascot

So . . . the Carrefour kids' mascot. He's a goofy dude, and heavily concentrated in the cereal/cookie aisles. I'm sure there's even more boxes of crazy product that I didn't even see.

To start, this is a bag of gummi candy, which is the best thing ever. They're 'super bears', which is nice, but the Ghostie is sticking his stripper pole right into the koala bear's butt. The bear looks concerned.




Cereal time! He's glutted the market. This stuff was everywhere. There was an entire line of it the entire way down the cereal aisle. Most of the 'chocolate'-themed cereal had similar imagery - Ghostie being wacky! and the milk splashing every whichway.




One last time. Here, he is surfing, on a bent spoon. Is there a point to surfing if you are a ghost?







OH MY GOD! HE'S NOT A GHOST AT ALL! Upon enlargement, it is clear that he is a GENIE! Oh, this is just too much for my weak heart. The lamp really is in each photo so far, but it's kind of like a 'Where's Waldo' to find it. I'm just . . . wow. Genie is pretty far down on the list of things that this blue blob resembles.
