Olympic mascots have always been an important part of the Olympic Games. These animated characters are designed not only to entertain and engage audiences, but also to represent the spirit and values of the host country. Over the years, Olympic mascots have taken on various forms and designs, ranging from animals to mythical creatures. However, not all Olympic mascots have been universally embraced. In fact, some mascots have faced significant criticism and controversy for their unconventional and often-deviant appearances. These mascots deviate from the traditional expectations of what a mascot should look like and have raised eyebrows among both spectators and athletes.
Comments: Awesome collaboration between missile Baits and roboworm!! I have put these worms to work already. American made and hold up so well to multiple fish.. Green pumpkin money and junebug dream are great colors. Biggest so far was 6.13 pounds, caught that fish neko rigging the magic worm near a deeper dock. Love these worms!!
Continuing their Made in the USA tradition, Missile Baits is having Roboworm manufacture their new, all-purpose, finesse, hand poured soft plastic bait called the Magic Worm. Based in Salem, Virginia, MISSILE BAITS works relentlessly to make the best baits, show their customers how to use them, and stay on the cutting edge of bass fishing.
These mascots deviate from the traditional expectations of what a mascot should look like and have raised eyebrows among both spectators and athletes. One such example is the Hare mascot, which was the official mascot of the 1968 Winter Olympics held in Grenoble, France. The Hare was depicted as an abstract, blue-colored character with elongated limbs and a peculiar, non-animal-like face.
Missile Baits Making Mini Magic Worm
Salem, Va. – March 22, 2023 –Missile Baits is adding to their collaboration with Roboworm to make the new 4” Mini Magic Worm. The 6” Magic Worm was introduced in 2022 and already played a part in two BASS Elite Series wins. Missile Baits is adding another fish catching size option. The 4” Mini Magic Worm has the same body proportions that make both sizes effective and easy to rig in most of the popular finesse techniques including drop shot, finesse Neko rig, Texas rig, shaky head, and wacky rig.
“After all the bass I caught on the 6” Magic Worm last year, it was obvious that the worm is a winner. The Mini Magic is the natural progression for us to add. The Mini Magic is nasty on a drop shot when you need a smaller profile, but the big deal is that it is perfect on a drop shot wacky style. I promise you that I will be serving that combo when we go up north this summer,” says John Crews, BASS pro angler and Missile Baits owner.
The Mini Magic Worm will come in the same 12 totally unique colors as the 6” Magic Worm that only Roboworm can pour. Some of the top colors include Green Pumpkin Money, Junebug Dream, Missile Morning, and John’s Juice. Each bag will be loaded with 16 worms (2 more worms per bag than the 6”) for a suggested retail price of $10.99. First production run is here now.

Its unconventional design was met with confusion and even disdain from many who had expected a more traditional mascot portrayal. Similarly, the 2012 Summer Olympics in London introduced Wenlock and Mandeville as the official mascots. These characters, which were inspired by drops of steel, were met with mixed reactions. Some found their metallic appearance and abstract design innovative and unique, while others criticized them for lacking a relatable or anthropomorphic quality typically associated with mascots. In addition to their unconventional appearances, some Olympic mascots have also faced criticisms for their perceived lack of cultural representation. For instance, the 1972 Summer Olympics held in Munich featured a mascot named Waldi, a Dachshund dog. While the Dachshund is a popular breed in Germany, the mascot was seen by critics as reinforcing stereotypes and failing to represent the diversity of the country. Despite the controversies and criticisms surrounding deviant Olympic mascots, it is worth noting that these characters continue to play an essential role in the Games. They serve as a visual representation of the host country and its culture, delivering a sense of unity and excitement. In some cases, mascots that were initially met with disapproval have eventually become beloved symbols of the Games, highlighting the subjective nature of mascot reception. In conclusion, Olympic mascots have, at times, deviated from traditional expectations, leading to criticism and controversy. Their unconventional appearances, lack of cultural representation, and departure from anthropomorphism have sparked debates and divided opinions. Nonetheless, these mascots remain an important element of the Olympic Games, contributing to the overall atmosphere and captivating audiences worldwide..
