I realize this is not a mascot, but a supersized backpack. Things that are giant are somehow equally as intriguing to me.
No, your eyes do not deceive you, that is me dressed as an apple with Frankie Furter, the Hot Dog. One day I'll run in the Sausage Race, rest assured.
Here I am with my friend, Mr. Pig. Where's Tad Hamilton?
I realize this is sort of cheating. Still, a huge ticket! This was at Wrigley Field. 
At the Hershey store in downtown Chicago. If I were made of chocolate and peanut butter, I'd be smiling that big all the time, too.
Mascot of the best airline ever, the chocolate chip cookie. Seriously, those in-flight cookies rival Tollhouse's. Taken at the WI State Fair. 
I think this is a Salty Sea Dog, on Navy Pier in Chicago.
With Paws, the Detroit Tigers' mascot- Comerica Park at the 2006 World Series.
Tony the Tiger at the Kellog's Museum in Battle Creek, MI. He's grrrrrrreat! Although not sure what he's looking at.
Ok, not technically a mascot. He was outside the Mirage theater after we saw LOVE. Which I LOVED.
With Miss Green M&M at the M&M store in Las Vegas. One of the best trips ever, thanks to Sara joining me while Derrick worked.
The Pea Pod guy. I think he delivers groceries?? This was when I auditioned for Wheel of Fortune at Steinhafels.
The Jelly Belly Man! Love those little beans! Found him in Old Town Sacramento.
Hate Spam, love this guy. WI State Fair again. Always a great place for mascot photo-ops.
See, told you I liked him.
What's in the middle? The White Stuff.
Hey! Kool-Aid! A very sad, deflated looking Kool-Aid Man.
Quite possibly the crown jewel of mascot photos, Cosmo Cougar. Need I say more?
And taken just last week in Madison, Mr. State Street Brat, whoever the heck he is. But more importantly, it's Summer's first mascot photo. But certainly not her last!

Holy obsession! Funny that you are in such places to have mascots walking around at all times! Midwest - gotta love it.
Love this post, perfect example of the many reasons you are so lovable, your total quirkyness! Um are you sure Summer wants to gain this obsession from her mommy. She doesn't look as stoked as you do.
Awesome post. Too bad you're always gone for the Strawberry Festival. Last year they had a Hello Kitty mascot. Oh and I think I blogged about our Sussex Easter Egg Hunt having no easter bunny, just a GW mascot (George Webb Restaurant). They're everywhere!
Wow! That is pretty amazing! I didn't even realize there were that many different mascots out there ;)
And yes Cosmo is the best!
And you guys say I'm odd....
Wow, that's quite an impressive collection there! I don't know if I even have one pic of me with a mascot.
I am impressed! What a collection...this is a great post b/c it shows what a true lover of mascots you are!
When will you print out your blog? I want a copy of your quirky daily thoughts!
Best post of the day! You need to get Bango! the bucks mascot. He can do it all
Nick
It's official.... you are the "Mascot Queen"!
Did that Spam mascot guy remember you? We're gonna have to find some mascots on Friday, so excited about Friday!!!!!!!
*sigh* Now you just need the Oscar Meyer Weiner car!
;-)
That's right1 The best trip ever in Vegas! It really was! I hope we can one day recreate such a wonderful event! Oh and I would like to say, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be with the Jelly Belly mascot, too. Wasn't that when you came to my wedding???
