The Fruit of the Loom guys...we have apple, green grapes, purple grapes...and what the heck is that leaf guy?? Surely he wouldn't be tobacco...fig maybe? This is more mysterious than the whole Tootsie Pops licks thang...

Originally Posted By mele Found this: The Fruit Guys - Personification of the corporate logo for the Fruit of the Loom underwear company which features a bunch of fruit (two grape clusters, a fig leaf and an apple). In their ad spots, human actors wear life-size costumes that represent the same pieces of fruit. The apple character wears the body of an apple and hat shaped like a core; the two grape guys (green and purple) wear costumes that resemble a stripper covered with balloons at a burlesque house, and closing out the fruity quartet is a guy dressed in a fig leaf costume. The fig leaf, of course, is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that historically (in art history circles) the fig leaf has been used to cover the genital areas of famous statuary/painting representing nude men and women.
