Boobs on Sun-Maid girl???
In the annals of advertising imagery, few brand symbols are more iconic and recognizable than the Sun-Maid raisin girl. Nevertheless, Sun-Maid recently decided to join Betty Crocker, Aunt Jemima and Mrs. Butterworth's in giving the female face of their product a substantial makeover from a young, early 20th-century girl into a buxom, modern young woman, leading some to say that the newly made-over raisin girl looks like a Barbie Doll in Amish attire...the changes to the 90-year-old icon were actually introduced three years ago.
Additionally, there's been talk hat the new Sun-Maid girl might be given a name and featured in future advertisements doing some of the things modern women typically do, like going to the gym, shopping at the market, and speaking multiple languages, particularly languages native to countries where Sun-Maid, the world's largest producer and processor of raisins and other dried fruits, sells raisins. However, the image on all Sun-Maid product packaging will remain the same, as the new version will only be featured in product advertisements.
I am all for a remake but huge fake looking boobs? Who thought that was ok? And any one that skinny can't have boobs that big that are natural...boobs are fat people!!! And normal bodies have BALANCE...your arms can't be 7 inches wide and you have boobs at size DD cups men! LOL She would fall over before she could walk or hold up the grapes to feed you in your silly fantasy! snort! Keep your make over...just make her boobs more realistic! Rolling eyes!
AND even more ridiculous is that this whole make-over thing probably cost millions. Pathetic waste.

the new Sun Maid girl actually looks relatively conservative compared to most digitized females

Eric,
I understand she is conservative to today's standards of how women are portrayed in the media commercialism of our time... no cleavage was showing, but really...does she have to have a size DD when she apparently looks like a size 0! Can we just get back to being real in our own bodies and depicted that way...instead of searching for surgeries that kill us? That was my point... I am tired of women dying over needing to look like some one different than who they are! Not being satisfied with who we are...and these ad's don't help!
I loved everything else about the remake.
