Chocolottie
Ladies, you ever have one of those days where you're cravin' so bad you wanna bite the head off a Chocolottie doll? Of course you do, we all do. I'm having one of those days right now, and 3 days ahead of schedule, as usual. Of all the days to start WeightWatchers. Sheesh!
In 1989 Mattel came out with the Cherry Merry Muffin line, and now nearly 20 years later we still can't get that jingle out of our heads! Of all the Cherry Merry Muffin dolls, Chocolottie has always been my favorite. Chocolate muffins are the best because really, they're a swipe of frosting away from being cupcakes. She wasn't the forerunner of the toy line, but she should have been! For one, she smelled like chocolate. Not as chocolately as the wrapper of a Hershey bar, but the best chocolate scented plastic I've ever whiffed! Also her coordinating kitchen helper was a little chocolate chip that looked just like a dookie with a green bow.
It was two years into the line before Cherry Merry got to hop onto the real food bandwagon. While Barbie was running rampant with her own Ice Cream Shoppe, poor Miss Muffin was stuck with plastic baked goods. In '91 we finally saw the Magic Milkshake Blender which had absolutely nothing to do with muffins, but it came with a packet of hut fudge and a coupon for Baskin Robbins, so all was not lost. Note that I said it came with CHOCOLATE and not CHERRIES. We all know who the real star of the line is. Chocolottie, your day will come!

OMG, I totally had Chocolottie! I used to sniff her all the time, which probably made my parents think I was fucked in the head, but holy crap she smelled good. I had the Barbie ice cream shop too, but I always just turned it over and pretended it was a cruise ship.

Oh my fucking god, you just solved a mystery!! My roommate in SD would randomly say "You too Chocolottie" in this high pitched voice. He could never figure out where he heard that from and he thought he made it up or was insane or something. We looked it up and figured it was Strawberry Shortcake related. I know my 80's stuff but not quite that well. Anyways as soon as I read this blog I messaged him to tell him he's not as insane as he thinks he is. I have never smelled a Cherry Merry Muffin doll to my knowledge. I did have the large Strawberry Shortcake baby doll that when you squeezed her chest she would release a puff of strawberry scent from her mouth. I puffed that poor doll into oblivion. She smelled so delicious. I haven't had a baby doll like that since. None could compare to my Strawberry Shortcake.

My sister had the Cherry Merry Muffin doll when we were kids. I can still remember that wonderful scent even to this day...
