In 1955, an ambitious salesman, traveling to New York City, had some time to kill before a flight home. He decided to pop into a local bar for a few whiskeys...?Walking past a taxidermist’s shop, he decided to buy a Penguin to be his drinking buddy for the flight, whom he named Pete.?At some point during the flight, he accidentally knocked off Pete''s head.?A stewardess removed the salesman''s necktie and wrapped it around the penguin’s neck. She joked that such a dapper bird deserved to be immortalized... With that idea - an icon was born.
