Dec 23, (THAINDIAN NEWS) “Which of these advertising icons was the oldest?…….. 1. Ronald McDonald 2. The Trix Rabbit 3. Smokey Bear”. The answer to this question put the couple to the next level of “Million Dollar Money Drop” last night. Well, the answer to this spotlight grabbing question is ‘Smokey Bear’. Last night, the couple went back home with hands full of money who were looking to make a million bucks. The couple won $240 thousand. It can be viewed that they wagered most of their loot on the famed bear.

It seems that the 66- year- old Smokey Bear never fails to hog the limelight, be it for US Forest’s service mascot or a money drop game show. By taking the age of the bear into account whom people love and know so much, Smokey Bear’ s contribution was a lot to haul the duo to the next level of the game. Last night’ s sizzling show forced the couple to struggle a lot. The viewers sitting on the opposite side of the ‘ idiot- box’ may argue that the questions were easy to answer, but reports say that answering those questions were not so easy as they looked like. Sources say that the duo performed their best in the short allotted time span in order to answer the common knowledge questions.

Smokey Bear immaculately leads the market even after prolonged 66 years. The Trix Rabbit is 53 years old and Ronald McDonald is youthful among all of them with only an age of 47. Smokey is the most recognized image of the US forest service. The cuddly bear was first introduced publicly with the help of a poster on August 9, 1944. A confusion prevails with the name ‘Smokey Bear’ and ‘ Smokey the Bear’. Its actual name is Smokey Bear, the word ” the” was added by a pair of songwriters for inducing rhythm in their song. Million Dollar Money Drop is making the Christmas month more sizzler with elements like ‘ Bayer Aspirin’ and ‘ Smokey Bear’.
