I LOVED Strawberry Shortcake! I used to have a couple of Orange Blossom dolls.

I prefer the old version of strawberry shortcake personally.

[...] I wonder if the results would be the same if we were comparing Bratz to the new My Scene line of Barbies (like the one pictured above), which are described as “fun ‘n flirty dolls”. They do look creepily like the Bratz dolls, I think. I’ll stick to traditional Barbie, or maybe none at all. Strawberry Shortcake is looking better and better! How long can I keep her cool in our house? [...]

Becky L: I don’t think I ever knew Apple Dumplin’ was SS’s sister, and my sister even had her. I think I had Cherry Cobbler (the website says it’s Cherry Cuddler, but I always thought it was Cobbler!), and she was a cutie. So fun that you’re daughter loves the dolls, too!

I absolutely loved your post! Strawberry Shortcake is my 18-month-old daughter’s favorite.

One of the books I often read to her is “Apple Dumplin’s Day” which is about Stawberry’s baby sister. My daughter has a dolly that she sleeps with. One day, she called the doll “Apple.” Its not suposed to be that character, but there are enough similarities that it DOES look like her.

Since then, I’ve been buying all sorts of Strawberry Shortcake things. She has a “purse” that she loves to carry around like a big girl. And she’ll actually watch the DVD that we bought– other things on TV she just ignores, even Dora and Elmo.

Perhaps I’m going overboard in buying her S.S. things, but it really is nostalgic for me. I love that she’s playing with things that I once did.

lol. How funny, because I was thinking the same thing! Maybe I can blame those fumes for my habit of walking into a room and immediately forgetting why I did! But, yes, she smelled so pretty.

I had a Strawberry Shortcake doll when I was young. She had that strawberry-scented breath. Oh how I LOVED to smell that.

Twenty-plus years later, my Strawberry Shortcake doll STILL has her scented breath. My sister and I were just discussing that the other day, and wondering what kind of toxic chemicals we have been exposed to all these years by smelling that doll. LOL

Dani: Thanks for commenting here! I was meaning to mention the scents! Yes, they made it more fun to play with them. I wonder if there’s some psychology study there, with toys and scents…hmmmm. I’ll have to go check out that personality website. Looks like fun!
