The Quiz: Which of these brands’ mascots was modeled after a real person?
Morton salt
Cap’N Crunch
Burger King
Sun-Maid raisins
Lorraine Collett Peterson was a teenager when she became the face of Sun-Maid raisins. Peterson worked part-time for the company when she was scouted to model for a portrait. She wore a bonnet and held a basket of grapes in the backyard of her family’s home in Fresno, California. The image was painted in May 1915, and by the next year, it could be found on the front of raisin boxes across the country.
The correct answer to this quiz is Sun-Maid raisins.
