Proctor-Silex Mary Proctor "Snoopy" Toaster, 1970-1974
Add to SetSummary
In 1960, Charles Schulz created a "Peanuts" comic strip in which Lucy hugs Snoopy, then states simply "Happiness is a warm puppy." This line touched people with its sincerity and promise of comfort and consolation. It quickly caught on with the public and was subsequently turned into a book, then a series of merchandising products--even toasters.
