I like Tony the Tiger, but I was recently watching the George Reeves Superman series on DVD and they showed some of the old Frosted Flakes commercials. I prefer the way they drew him back then, PLUS there was a little tiger hanging out with him. Why'd they get rid of him? He was adorable.
And does anyone know Captain Crunch's full name? My father-in-law told us this bit of trivia last night...

Tony Jr. got his own cereal for a while, Frosted Rice. But I think eventually Frosted Rice was merged into the Snap Crackle and Pop family of cereals and Tony Jr was without a job. Same goes for Tusky the Elephant from Cocoa Krispies.Originally Posted by del

Capn' Crunch was one of my favorites.

Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?
Do you mean Cecil from Grins & Smiles and Giggles & Laughs?

I loved Quisp! The character and the cereal. I sent away for the stuffed toy and I still have him!
A close second is Freakies -- actually tasted a lot like Quisp -- I still have the plastic figures too!
Honorable Mention:
Count Chocula
Tony the Tiger
Trix Rabbit
THat wizard from Cookie Crisp was a cool one---Capn' Crunch is
the man though! Boo Berry gets a nod just for that Lorre voice alone!

I could probably eat a whole box of Pebbles in one sitting. Fruity or Cocoa. But the icons don't really qualify here I guess, since cereal commercials are only their side project.
