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.

You’re thinking of this old drunk

This earlier picture has an expression like he's just been told again that you're his grandkid and he's doing his best to pretend he remembers. That lack of presence in his eyes kind of scared me as a kid.

When I was a small child I called him the "haha man" because his step age expression made me so uneasy that I laughed nervously when I looked at it.

Thank you, downright revisionist of their marketing team to gaslight me like that (joking, lest...)
