Most bizarre cereal box mascots

[1889]

Is there a dart board in a marketing office someplace? I can think of no other explanation for the seemingly random combinations of animals and the xtream sports they play on cereal boxes.

Actually we purchase cereal in those big discount bags and there the combinations are even more bizarre. On our current bag of "Frosted Flakes of corn cereal" is a snowboarding koala bear. That seams pretty unusual...unless Koalas also live on New Zealand, but even then I’d think they would be more into cross-country skiing than the faster paced action of xtream snowboarding.

Its to appeal to kids. Sugary cereals number one consumer is kids after all.

But if theres any crazy cereal box mascot its got to be count chocula! I mean what kind of vampire prefers chocolate over blood?

Boo Berry !

Cookie crisp thief and mutt.


I miss the Golden Crisp Bear.

How about the bird that went "kukoo for cocoa puffs"?

The racial stereotype who got pissed about kids stealing his Lucky Charms?

Frankenberry should be added to the list of freaky monster cereal mascots. The real trinity for me as a kid was BooBerry, Frankenberry and Count Chocula.

Its kinda sad that stuff like this is all going to be gone in a couple of years. People cant parent their kids so Toucan Sam gets the axe. BS if you ask me.

You mean Sugar Crisp.

"Can't get enough of that Sugar Crisp!"

 

[skadistic]

Same bear!

The Honey Monster disturbs me...

For those of us who were a bit rebellious about our cereal choices as a kid Cap'n Crunch just didn't do it for us. These guys were full of vitamin powered sugary cereal!

My personal favorite being a quazy kid and all...

Notice on Whomper's boxes how the free toy was inside the box. Its not like that anymore. You have to send in 5 UPC codes and $5.99 s&h.

I remember the cool 3-D baseball cards that used to come in cereal. Still think I have a couple somewhere.

 

[Xanikk999]

That reminds me, they use to actually have bubble gum in baseball cards. They stopped doing it when i was very little.

Anyone remember that? I think they stopped doing it because it cost them too much money.

Parody cereal Boxes are the most bizarre.

Who turned this into a nostalgia thread for old men?

I was never allowed to have Frankenberry, Count Chocula or Cookie Crisp (no, don't pitty me I managed to get plenty of other crap) but I bought a box of chocolate chip cookie cereal for my daughter a few weeks ago. It is unbelievably gross.

Actually, I think Life cereal was a bigger staple in our house. Mikey liked it so what the heck.
