Apparently, Speedee is still a mascot. My wife and I ate a the McD's inside Wal-Mart while waiting for our car to be worked on, and there is a painting of him on the wall.
i manage a grocery store with average daily sales between 30,000 & $40,000. At any given moment, if I look at the top 100 items in terms of sales, bananas are always, without exception number 1.
Also, don't miss Hormel's new Monty Python themed Spam cans. The Honey flavored Spam is called The HONEY Grail with cartoon pics of the crew of Spammalot. They are supposed to be collector items!
