Hahahaha yourself, the Alka Seltzer mascot was Speedy
The McDonalds early mascot was indeed Speedee
as I indicated earlier.

You've got it right, Phil!
Thank you for going to all the trouble to post supporting evidence, too!
I saw the difference between the spellings but when saying it aloud, remembered that "Speedy" was the name of the alka seltzer dude.
Bob's Big Boy's mascot is who this reminded me of, personally... but that's an entirely different mascot and company!
No WONDER they ditched this lil' dude in favor of a clown! lol
Thanks again :)

Yes Actually I have seen one like that. There is one in Tulsa Oklahoma that looks very similar to it. Or at least it still looked the same the last time I was in that part of Tulsa a few months ago. I hope they leave it that way. And of course there is the one over the turnpike that S-man showed. I used to love driving under that thing when we would go visit my grandma, it was about the coolest thing in the world when I was little.

T... Till I get into town, here's a picture of the first one, I believe it was 1948, by the Mc Donald Brothers, in San Bernardino, Ca. This one is from my personal collection.

Hi tilde 531: Yes his name was "Speedy" I had a customer of mine that collected MCDonalds memoribilia. She was estatic when she found a Speedy figurine and had to show it to me and tell me all about it. We do have one of the retro Micky Dee's here in Yakima WA.
