What is the best way to get children addicted to sugary cereal? Create a fun, colorful mascot that is also addicted to said cereal!
1. Tony the Tiger (Frosted Flakes)
There is some pretty strong
competition for the best cereal mascot, but in the end, it had to be the big
guy.
Not only does he have the most
recognizable catchphrase (something about how good his cereal is…I can’t recall
at the moment), but he also has the good sense not to tackle your son when the
three of you are playing football in your front yard. In fact, I’m pretty sure Tony is the only one
on this list that you would trust to play sports with your son.
2. Cap’n Crunch
According to Wikipidia (not that hard, was it Rand?) Cap’n Horatio Magellan Crunch was “born on Crunch Island in the
Sea of Milk – a magical place with talking trees, crazy creatures and a whole
mountain (Mt. Crunchmore) made out of Cap’n Crunch cereal.”
Yes, his cereal is 45% cardboard and has a 70% chance of cutting
the inside of your mouth, but at least it sometimes comes with a healthy dose
of crunch berries.
I’d also like to take this
opportunity to wish Cap’n Crunch, as well as everyone else who has served in
our nations’ armed forces, a happy Veterans Day (although there is some controversy regarding whether or not he is actually a captain).
