As I was looking at this story online someone walked by and asked “who is that guy in the Tony the Tiger suit?” Without missing a beat I answered “That’s not Tony, that’s Tigger” and began looking for Tigger pictures on the web.
“How do you know?”
“Know what?”
“How do you know that’s not Tony?”
“Tony the Tiger has a red bandana.”
“But the costume isn’t zipped up yet and the bandana goes on last.”
She had a point. On further reflection, the costume doesn’t quite fit either one. The ears don’t match either character and neither one has striped hands. Without the mask you really can’t tell.
“Maybe it’s a real tiger costume.”
Without seeing the mask I am still not ready to commit but I definitely think the costume is closer to Tigger than to Tony or a real tiger. If the costume has no mask then all bets are off.
I think no matter how you slice it that is a strange costume for an adult to wear.
Now that is Tigger for sure.
