That one's a bit creepy. 🤨

Speaking of creepy...meet the Coca-Cola elf (who seems to be named "Sprite," confusingly).

But those crazed eyes! They follow you everywhere. :shock: And he seems to exist only as a large disembodied head and hand... :?:

And besides that...

He's taken over the world.

His eyes DO seem to follow you! This guy's amazing. I've never seen him before!

That was interesting. Thanks for the info! He still creeps me out, though. If the artist hadn't drawn him with those demonic eyes...

Here's a wall clock with him on it. :roll: Now he looks more like he's got a recreational drug problem...or a really, really bad overdose of caffeine.

Ok, I'll stop picking on the little guy. ;)
