For my niece's 3rd birthday (Mar 17) I found her some Strawberry Shortcake decadent bath and shower suds. She's into Strawberry Shortcake right now, so why not? It is awesome smelling....exactly like the dessert.
Remember when you were a young girl and played with Strawberry Shortcake, Lemon Meringue, Blueberry Muffin, Huckleberry Pie, etc....
I just did a google/wikipedia search on the names of the characters and I didn't know how many there really were until now. There are A LOT of characters that were developed in the early 1980's. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Strawberry_Shortcake_characters#) This link has the history and character description of every Strawberry Shortcake character.

Banana Twirl Mr. Sun Lucky Bug

Horseradish Coco Nutwork Berry Busy Bug
Philbert Wormly III Maple Stirrup Raisin Cane
The Peculiar Purple Pieman Sour Grapes
The Berry Princess and The Berrykins
There were also animals and fillies (horses) that came out later on.
I don't think I ever had a character taller than 1 inch....I'm sure I had the plastic miniatures that smelled just as yummy as the dolls with the brushable hair.
In late 2008, American Greetings relaunched the series with redesigned characters and changed personalities. Now why would the personalities be changed? I haven't looked into what the change was that was made but are these characters more 'politically correct'? What would that look like anyways? Just a speculation.
