I swear when I was a child and saw the logo I thought this dude was oooooooooooooooolllllllllllldddddddddd. His face I recall crinkling with wrinkles in the TV ads when he smiled. But now he just looks normal, not ancient. Yeah he's got white hair but I'm pretty sure that's just those powdered wigs. Option 1: they made him look younger. Option 2: I am no longer 9 years old.

They did, but since the 50s he's been through stages of yassification, 2010s looks younger than 2000s which looks younger than 1950s.

I remember someone saying he was baby faced, must have been a time traveller.

or maybe quaker oats guy is a time-travelling baby.

My conspiracy theory is the Quaker oats guy time travelled to be the Gerber baby.

Apparently this is what he looked like in 1877
