Strawberry Shortcakes appeals so much to everyone because it appeals to all our three senses. The bright colors of red appeals to our sense of sight, the sweet theme song above appeals to our sense of hearing and their first range of toys appeals to our sense of smell. Strawberry Shortcakes are probably the first characters to have scented figurines and perhaps that strawberry scent of Miss Strawberry Shortcake has left a nostalgic mark on our memory.
The Strawberry Shortcake character was first conceptualized in 1977 by Muriel Fahrion when she was working as a greeting card illustrator. Subsequently she pitched the idea to General Mills and it became a licensing entity and she developed the whole line of characters, complete with their own fruity or dessert-themed name and clothing to match (characters like Orange Blossom and Blueberry Muffin).
The sugar sweet theme song and the endearing charaters made Strawberry Shortcake a huge fad during the 80s. With a range of paraphernalia from sticker albums, apparel, scented toys to even a video game.
Perhaps unfortunately, Strawberry Shortcake's image and characters got a millenium revamp by another designer in 2002, featuring a set of new characters, clothes and even a different body shape. However, the new designs of Strawberry Shortcakes cannot recreate the nostalgia that the original character did.
