    Favorite cereal icon

    Hey, remember when cereal companies used to invent their own cereal icons, and they weren't from the latest movie or TV show? They even had little back stories like a mini cartoon show! I loved the Quisp and Quake competition. And Freakies ads were funny, so was Cap'n Crunch!

    So who was yours?

    I liked Tony the Tiger

    Once in a while he sold cereal, other times he sold gasoline

            Hmmm...I think you're comfusing Tony w/ the Exxon tiger, (who had the more rugged look!)

                I'm going with Cap'n Crunch. I actually just worked on what they say will be the last Cap'n Crunch commercial ever. They are planning some new campaign less focused on advertising to kids. I have no idea what that means, but he's a victim in the war against obesity.

                    Quisp. No doubt about it. The cereal was good too. I remember the vote
                    between Quisp and Quake. I seem to remember one with the Trix rabbit to
                    see if he finally got to eat some of the cereal.
                    The Freakies were also memorable. I had a set of little figurines of The
                    Freakies that you could send for. I have no idea whatever became of them.

                      I was always partial to
                      Lucky the Leprechaun


                      But I prefer the more old school version



                      not the one that looks more like he's been eating too much of his own cereal, or is hopped up on Meth

                        Never cared much for Bundy. Always thought Manson was kind of interesting in the way he had control over so many people.

                        Oh sorry, it says cereal icon

                        Captain Crunch by far.

                        Love that guy.

                        Always got a kick out of Sugarbear too, harrassing poor Granny all the time.

                          Sugar Bear's calm "Dean Martinesque" vibe always resonated well with me.

                          I remember a friend bringing a box of fruity pebbles to our dorm once, causing grown men to attempt to "trick Joe out of his fruity pebbles" for much of the day.

                            I do think Sugar Bear was the Pimp of 1970's Cereal Mascots though...

                              I agree. I like the character AND the cereal. It's tough to seperate the two. For instance, I love the monster cereal icons, but find the cereals inedible.
