Strawberry Sorbabe, the Sweet Sensation!
It's been a while; it's about time to cover the (arguably) most well-known member of the Screamin' Fruit gang: Strawberry Sorbabe!
She debuted in 2001 with the entrepreneur Blabber and gadgeteer Booster, winding up the first few fruit flavours for their sick entertainment. Sorbabe's a musical celebrity in the fruit world who deejays at her own nightclub, has released her own records, and guest stars in a lot of fruit media! However, those who get too attached to her may end up wound into a Winder by her hands.
She's got nine backing comics and eight advertising comics to her name, with two other undiscovered comics known to exist.
Sorbabe appears in most of the television adverts, though she mainly stars in three. She made her debut in the 2001 Strawberry Fruit Winders commerical, where she sets an elaborate trap to torment a poor strawberry. Their stalk is tied to a plane and their flesh is cemented to the ground. Sorbabe boogies as the strawberry gets stretched by the plane taking off...and she blows them a kiss goodbye.
In the following year of 2002, she'd be the subject of another Strawberry Fruit Winders commercial, where we see her doing what she does best: deejay, at "Club Sorbabe" (called Sorbabe Club in the commercial for some reason). A nervous strawberry joins the party, and Sorbabe gets him to dance, but Sorbabe finds their dancing to be rubbish and presses a suspicious button labelled "ROLL star." The dance floor was actually a press, and the lame-o strawberry is flattened (to the horror of everyone).
Sorbabe's last major appearance was in the 2005 Fruit Winders Doubles commercial, where she chases down a strawberry in a car pulled by restless dog-like animals. She works with Max to help corner the strawberry and an apple, causing them to squish together. The girls suck up the mixed fruit into a processor, which spits out the fruit's unneeded parts and makes strawberry-apple doubles. The girls proceed to play around with their victim.
In most other TV ads, Sorbabe accompanies her friends after their wind-up stunts are finished. Notably, she appears in the Winders Keepers commercials only as a figment of the orange victim's imagination, where she snatches away their video game console like a strict mother. Her 3D model from the commercials gained a headset in 2002 to represent her deejaying. She would eventually take it off in 2006 for her last two appearances.
Being an early character, she got some appearances in Flash material too. She appears as a playable character in the FunFear games "Terror Twister" and "FrightBall" like the other two original mascots. As shown in an old biography animation and as mentioned in old interviews, she loved to terrorize her nursery as a baby.
Sorbabe, alongside Booster, lasted for the longest out of any mascot due to the Sorbabe-Booster Double Trouble comic strips not being discontinued until around 2020.
