Hawaiian Punch Punchy^® Telephones Aid in teaching children 9-1-1. In 1991, NFSC teamed up with Hawaiian Punch to distribute thousands of Punchy (character) phones as instructional props for classrooms teaching how to dial 9-1-1 in an emergency. As a part of this promotion, Punchy was featured in various layouts with Firepup^®, which were printed on the inside of fire safety manuals.
