Mickey Mouse promotes produce

Thanks Nick!... Here's a link to the article:

 

Fruit & veggies ripe for cartoon images

 

Mickey Mouse, SpongeBob and the Tasmanian Devil are coming to a produce

aisle near you.

 

The cartoon characters are popping up on fruit and vegetable packaging

across the country as growers strike licensing deals with entertainment

companies hungry to cultivate positive images among health-conscious

parents and kids.

 

Disney, with its overwhelming cartoon capital and cultural clout, is

the most significant entry in the produce business.

 

The entertainment giant is licensing characters to Indianapolis-based

produce distributor Imagination Farms, which has deals with 15 large

growers across the country to provide fruits and vegetables for the

Disney Garden brand.
