Google is featuring these Sesame Street characters in line with the long running television show’s 40th anniversary, which will be celebrated on November 10.

“I love Trash”. Sesame Street’s resident Grouch has a green body, has no nose, and lives in a garbage can. He likes collecting junk, rainy days, and arguing. He has two pets, Slimey (a worm) and Fluffy (an elephant).

Through Oscar, children actually learn about respect and tolerance instead of disrespect and intolerance, and they discover that people with different views and lifestyles can still be great friends.
