Actually, according to that website link, MrsAce, the tiger associated with Standard Oil/Exxon is nameless... Tony the Tiger belongs to Kellogg. The name of Standard Oil's ad campaign is "put a tiger in your tank." Aug 23 05, 3:57 PM

You are right Josh. Guess I should have read the article twice. Other material that I found confirms that the Tiger in the Tank was nameless. Aug 23 05, 5:26 PM

Apart from the lawsuit, the history of the Esso tiger (and Tony) are given on this site and no name seems to have been given to it. http://petcaretips.net/famous_cats_tony_tiger.html Aug 23 05, 5:38 PM
