Trivia: What name was given to the new Toys ‘R Us mascot in 1965?
Frederick
Geoffrey
James
Charles
The correct answer is Geoffrey
So why is this answer correct? : Originally known as “Dr. G. Raffe” of Children’s Bargain Town, the giraffe mascot was reworked when owner Charles Lazarus changed the store’s name to Toys ‘R Us. According to the company, an early store associate suggested the name “Geoffrey.” The famous mascot first appeared on TV in a 1973 commercial and remains a well-known figure despite the long-running chain closing its last store in 2018.
