Schnuffel was a character created by the german media company "Jamba!" to market ringtones, back in the days people paid for ringtones

Paid ringtones.. I remember that fad. That stupid crazy frog was everywhere.

Jamba! was also involved in marketing of the crazy frog :3 though I believe the character was not originally theirs

I think my wife paid for that one, then I bought her the CD.
