Created by US cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, the character from the <em data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa15\">Peanuts<\/em> comic strip has lately been adorning all manner of merchandise, from pimple patches to luxury handbags.<\/p>\n<div datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1xdhyk6 ec74h0k0\">The spike in Snoopy products has been especially pronounced with the 75th anniversary of <em data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa15\">Peanuts<\/em>, aka Snoopy\u2019s 75th birthday, in 2025. But the <span data-qa=\"Component-Text\" class=\"css-0 ef9u0v00\">grip Snoopy has on pop culture and the retail industry<\/span> runs deeper than anniversary buzz. According to Sony, which recently acquired majority ownership of the <em data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa15\">Peanuts<\/em> franchise, the IP is worth half a billion US dollars.<\/div>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">Snoopy has always been a pop culture darling. Despite his owner, Charlie Brown, being the <em data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa15\">Peanuts<\/em> strip\u2019s main character and the namesake for most of the franchise\u2019s adaptations, Snoopy was inarguably its breakout star. He was the winner of a 2001 New York Times poll about readers\u2019 favourite <em data-qa=\"ContentSchemaRender-defaultRenderMapFunctions-Component\" class=\"css-1mniedq ex3nmsa15\">Peanuts<\/em> characters, with 35 per cent of the vote.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">The veritable Snoopymania possessing today\u2019s consumers exploded with the social media boom of the early 2010s, says Melissa Menta, senior vice-president of global brand and communications for Peanuts Worldwide.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-inline-container e1a5rv550 css-1llrc1m e1yqhwb40\" data-qa=\"Component-renderMap-StyledDiv\">\n<div class=\"image-inline caption e1fvabeq0 css-19sk4h4 ea9pn0s0\" data-qa=\"Component-Container\">\n<figure class=\"image-inline caption ea9pn0s1 css-1qeofuq e1gf69pb0\" data-qa=\"ArticleImage-ArticleImageContainer\">\n<div data-qa=\"ArticleImage-handleRenderImage-ImageContainer\" class=\"css-0 e1gf69pb3\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"In 2025, the Charles M.
