According to [[James Turner]], Vanilluxe is also based on American food mascots such as the {{wp|Pillsbury Doughboy}}, as well as the {{wp|Stay Puft Marshmallow Man|"Stay-Puft" Marshmallow Man}} from the 1984 supernatural comedy film ''{{wp|Ghostbusters}}''.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/7J8o9mp Archive of James Turner's tweets describing Vanilluxe's inspirations]</ref> | According to [[James Turner]], Vanilluxe is also based on American food mascots such as the {{wp|Pillsbury Doughboy}} or {{wp|Grimace (character)|Grimace}}, as well as the {{wp|Stay Puft Marshmallow Man|"Stay-Puft" Marshmallow Man}} from the 1984 supernatural comedy film ''{{wp|Ghostbusters}}''. Vanilluxe's design is meant to evoke "that blend of cute/goofy/creepy/happy" apparent in many mascot designs.<ref>[https://imgur.com/a/7J8o9mp Archive of James Turner's tweets describing Vanilluxe's inspirations]</ref> | ||
