Getting Fresh

I don't remember this character,but we may not have had a TV yet as we lived a considerable distance from Portland,and when we did get a TV it was only able to pick-up two stations. I do remember watching Zorro but it may have been after this birds time. Some of the pictures are vaguely familiar,but I could have seen them in a store.
Fresh-Up Freddie was created by Disney as an advertising spokesman (or should that be spokesbird?) for 7-Up in 1957. Freddie was created for a 7-Up sponsorship of Disney's prime time Zorro TV series. The Disney studios made the commercials and designed the character. Freddie gave lessons about how to plan successful parties and picnics by having plenty of 7-Up on hand. Freddie was often dressed in human clothes.
