The Jolly Green Giant has always been the strong, silent type, guarding the Pillsbury Company's garden. Originally a print advertisement, the Giant had trouble adapting to the 3-D world of television which demanded a little more personality than smiling at vegetables. But he didn't want to lose his job, because he was outstanding in his field, so he adopted the little Sprout as his sidekick in the late 60's. The Sprout could do what the Giant couldn't: talk, and get into mischief. Together, the green team has become almost as well-known as Batman and Robin.
