Jolly Green Giant
Canned corn spokesman
The Jolly Green Giant is the mascot for Green Giant brand vegetables—a towering, friendly figure in a green tunic who appears on cans of corn and peas.
The phrase has become shorthand for any unusually tall person, especially one with a gentle disposition: At six-foot-eight, he was a jolly green giant among his coworkers.
