The Quiz: Which of these individuals received their own ZIP code in the 1960s?
Tooth Fairy
Santa Claus
Smokey Bear
Ronald McDonald
The U.S. Forest Service introduced Smokey Bear in the 1940s, as a symbol for wildfire prevention. The character was fictional at first, but he later became associated with a real bear cub found in the Capitan Mountains of New Mexico. People began sending letters and drawings to the bear, and by 1964, Smokey was so popular that the Postal Service decided he needed his own ZIP code, 20252.
The correct answer to this quiz is Smokey Bear.
