It was a toss up between Kool-Aid Man (or Kool-Aid Pitcher as the site called him) or Smokey Bear. Went with Smokey, b/c he's the only one that really had a true message. Yeah, I know McGruff the Crime Dog was listed, but "help take a bite out of crime" never had the impression that "Only YOU can stop forest fires" had over small children everywhere.
