Strawberry Shortcake is a female doll popular with children.
Originally created as a greeting card by American Greetings,
the doll consists of a girl whose hair is colored strawberry
red and has been perfumed to smell like strawberries.
This character has been very popular among little girls
and now collectors. She was first released in the early
1980s, then relaunched in 1991 and 2002. The early 1980s
line consisted of a series of dolls with fruity dessert-themed
names with colored and scented hair to match. Each doll
also came with a pet. The characters lived and played
in a magical world known as Strawberryland. The 1980s
Strawberry Shortcake frenzy led to the production of thousands
of products, including, of course, dolls, video games,
sticker albums, clothes, video movies and many more. Several
cartoons were made detailing the adventures of Strawberry
Shortcake and her friends.
