I remember the cartoon character but not ZuZus. Who, in their right mind, would put ANYTHING called ZuZu in their mouths anyhow?

Zu Zu pets are those toy hamsters that run by batteries.

There was a ski shop in Stockton that I frequented called "ZuZu's". Never did think about why it was called that. They used to hand out bumper stickers that said, "What's a ZuZu?". No clowns or hamsters were involved.
