Here is another item that I have no idea where its from or what it is. I've had it at least 20 years. Any ideas?
Probably best to state the size of the item or include a size reference in pic (like a coin or a ruler)
It's a bath sponge, right?

Yes its a sponge. Its only about 3 inches tall.
Avon did a lot of bath sponges back in the late 70s/early 80s. That may be a place to start.

I believe that is a Count Fangburger premium from Burger Chef restaurants in the 1970's.

Never heard of that. I wonder if they filmed commercials with that character, and if they exist. Would also love to see any advertising done with that character.

Burger Chef was an American fast-food restaurant chain founded in 1954 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The chain expanded throughout the United States, and at its peak, it was second only to McDonald's in the number of locations nationwide. The chain featured several signature items such as the Big Shef and Super Shef burgers.
Due to financial troubles in the 1980s, the chain was gradually sold off to Hardee's. The final Burger Chef closed in 1996, but many of the chain's restaurants survive as Hardee's or various other fast-food establishments.

Thanks for that.
Thanks for the info, it is certainly a Count Fangburger. Thats one old mystery solved. :) I am familiar with the McDonald characters, Jack in the Box, etc. but had no idea Burger Chef ever had any characters beyond the Chef. Very interesting.
No problem. We had a Burger Chef in town when I was a kid, and I had a lot of different premiums and things with this character on them.
