Rose first developed the character in 1985
on a napkin in a restaurant.
They later stenciled Fido on T-shirts with the credo:
"Fido is for Fido, Fido is against no one".
Fido Dido was licensed to
PepsiCo in around 1988,

or popularity until the early 1990s
on numerous products, particularly
stationery.
Later, he was replaced with
Cool Spot as the brand mascot.
Fido Dido reappeared in the 2000s and is still, as of July 2010
[update],
used on cans and advertising for 7up
in countries worldwide from six different continents. "
