Well it had to happen...one of our favorite product mobiles has gone missing. Details are sketchy but updates are coming in via social media. Turtle Transit posted this surveillance video of the alleged thief doing the alleged thieving: </div>

What nefarious reason would someone have to pretend to sell America's most beloved fruit-based automobile? I shudder to even contemplate. So do your reason before you buy!<br />

Sure occasionally we'll get something like an <a href="https://productmobiles.blogspot.com/2012/04/nutmobile-gets-animated.html">animated cameo by the Planter's Nutmobile</a> but for the most part our favorites are absent from commercial breaks.<br />
<br />
But recently a little Youtubing led to the discovery of a cameo of Ronald McDonald's Big Red Shoe Car in an old McDonald's commercial. You can see it in the background behind Ronald and the young child he brought to the middle of nowhere to star gaze:<br />
