::GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED::

Congrats to @fcffollower @eagleforjack @carogonza @ksh123!

Remember the California Raisins?  I’m sure I wasn’t the only kid who collected the California Raisin figurines, or watched them dance on the television screen to “I Heard it From the Grapevine”.  The groovy, sunglass-wearing California Raisins have been nominated for Advertising Week’s prestigious Icon Walk of Fame.  Winners of Advertising Week’s Walk of Fame will have their names immortalized on plaques on Madison Avenue between 40th & 50th in New York City. That’s why we’re reaching out to fellow California Raisin fans to help the beloved 80’s icon secure its place in advertising history.

Voting closes on September 18, so head on over to Icon Walk of Fame right now and cast your vote for the California Raisin icon.  All the cool raisins, and humans, are doing it.

    My California Raisin memory is when my middle son was young and he was crazy about the California Raisins. He would sing their jingle all of the time.

  37. When my husband was a kid, he and his brothers and sister dressed up as California Raisins. The boys were the raisins and his sister was the box. They were in a parade. God I wish I had pictures of that :) LOL

    I was born and raised in CA. So when I left CA for FL to go to school, one of my friends gave me a California Raisin little plush doll and hung it on the rearview mirror of my car. 18 years later and 2 cars later, I still have that little raisin on my rearview mirror. It goes with me everywhere. It’s a little demented but it always reminds me of CA.
