This Week’s Rare Bit O’Swag: Washington Apple Mascot Keychain

WashingtonAppleScooter

This uber-rare key chain was a part of an award winning ad campaign for the Washington Apple Commission that ran in 1999-2000. Their spokesperson was a scooter-riding super-hero bearing apples.

In one ad titled “Zoo,” a father and daughter are wiped out from a long day of site seeing. Once “Apple Guy” receives the distress signal, he zooms to their rescue on his scooter carrying Washington Apples.

I seem to remember that he had flames coming out of his scooter tailpipe in one spot but alas, there don’t seem to be any videos of the spots online.
