The Ads, Commercials, Toys, Premiums, Ect. For sure makes up for the Veggies Themselves! It was pretty Neat to see that Legendary Singing Talents such as Tennessee Ernie Ford and The Kingsmen helped push singing Records for Green Giant as well! Thank-You For Sharing and God Bless!

In those Sprout commercials, the Sprout was voiced by child actor Ike Eisenmann. What's never mentioned in any history of the Giant that I've ever seen is that just before the debut of the Sprout, they tried to turn the Giant into a city boy by means of a new TV commercial, depicting him amongst skyscrapers. Instead of "The Valley of the Jolly Green Giant", the screen had the words "The Hometown of the Jolly Green Giant". The ad only aired a handful of times before being pulled, apparently because people had a negative reaction to him being away from his valley.

I’m not sure as I haven’t done any research, and if there was even a lot of branding for it, but the Home Depot mascot should be done in a video. He always wore a orange hat and an apron, and he looked like he was ready to cut some lumber. It was a little bit stocky.

the green giant and sprout should be in a green background as camouflage

Herschel Bernardi, Peter Gunn’s Lt. Jacoby, voiced the iconic “Ho, ho, ho.”
