Fido Dido /ˈfaɪdoʊ ˈdaɪdoʊ/ or /ˈfaɪdoʊ ˈdiːdoʊ/ is a cartoon character created by Joanna Ferrone and Sue Rose.[1][2]
History
Rose first developed the character in 1985[3] on a napkin in a restaurant.[4] The two later stenciled Fido on T-shirts with the credo: "Fido is for Fido, Fido is against no one".[5] These T-shirts became very popular in New York.[6]
Fido Dido was licensed to PepsiCo in 1987 but the character did not receive much attention or popularity until the early 1990s, when he appeared on numerous products, particularly stationery and 7-Up ads. Later he was replaced with Cool Spot as the 7-Up brand mascot.
