But of course Tony the Tiger is the best!

I mean, he has no cereal vice/obsession, he isn't shown needing his cereal to get good, he isn't manic, generally is shown to be a paragon of good morals, he is athletic and a good role model for children! I think the only other character who has most of those traits is Cap'n Crunch and even then he has no amazing catchphrase.

They're GRRREEAAAT!

They weren't even that good but I liked them because of the shark :<

My entire life I've been obsessed over Boo Berry. ALL the Monster Cereal cast, really, but Boo Berry in particular. I mean Count Chocula, Frankenberry, Boo Berry, Yummy Mummy, and Fruit Brute are all such amazing, iconic characters.

Truthfully I'm generally obsessed with Monsters anyways. I wish I had some big-ass "Monster Squad"-style of them all standing together handy for this post.


Make no mistake, OP, I ain't mad atcha for your Thule Ravenscroft love. The man was a prince.

Tony was exactly what I thought of. I miss Frosted Flakes. Tucan Sam I like as well though I'm not too high on Fruit Loops.

Here the most popular cereal provider (other than generic) is Nestle. I'll admit, I like the Nesquick bunny but Nestle man.

 

[cameron]

I'm partial to Toucan Sam (just noticed the unfortunate placing of the tail feather while previewing). His commercials were awesome.

It's weird how kids were assholes to some mascots. Like Trix Rabbit. Jeez, just give him some cereal.

 

[Dice]

Tony is the first one who came to my mind when I read the title, and when I thought a bit more my second choice was Cap'n Crunch. So I guess I agree.

Count Chocula had potential because vampires are cool except for the blood-sucking evilness, but while a chocolate-lover is an easy friend, he's such a fuckin huckster with the gimmick promotions that he ruins it.

I grew up on Corn Flakes so I can understand. I actually ate so much of that shit as a kid I sent in UPCs and got a free denim jacket with the rooster embroidered on it. Edit: Best cereal prize ever.

Is Booberry still around?

Nestle mostly just imports right? Though I do know they have their own stuff in SEA with Koko Krunch and Honey Star.

The poor Trix rabbit never get's any Trix, so he get's my vote.

Yep! Although him (and the rest of the Monster Cereal gang) are seasonal, so they pop around 'round Halloween time. A couple of years back they actually brought back Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute, too.

 

[Horseticuffs]

Is Booberry still around?

Just two years ago or so I got retro boxes of most of them from a woman I was seeing who left on family business to New Hampshire. She mailed them to me. I've got, I believe retro Yummy Mummy, Fruit Brute, and a modern Boo Berry. The monsters are very much still around!

This year I've decided I'm going to get box fronts from all the ones I'm missing, retro or not, and frame them all. Last year I bought both Count Chocula and Frankenberry here in Florida so I know it is possible! They are just seasonal to Halloween.

You obviously have excellent taste!

Ah I see, I always thought it's only Count Chocula who managed to survive through.

That campaign worked. Even after all these years I clearly remember the "hunger strikes" and "keep hunger locked up til lunch" phrases.

Tony's cool.

Show your stripes, bitches!

In central Europe they don't have anything that compares to the US American mascot war. If somebody wanted to they could come sweep up that market and shove that sugar down all the children's throats.

It's Tony The Tiger, no question.

Tony The Tiger eats all other mascots for breakfast.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Huh, did wrestlers advertise a lot of cereals back when WWE was a family fun romp?

 

[Princess Viola]

why won't those asshole kids just give the trix rabbit a bowl of the cereal goddamn

 

[Amalthea]

I think mine is the Clusters squirrels.

Uncreative. It's just adding a face to the actual grains (they probably aren't grains but the actual pieces you eat)

So you already posted the best, close it now mods

 

[Ghostandgoblin]

C'mander Crisp

he gave his life for the crisp.

 

[Blobbers]

I mean, he has no cereal vice/obsession

Also a good argument for why he isn't the best.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Also a good argument for why he isn't the best.

nay, since vice/obsession is a common trait for a mascot

others give in, he didn't

 

[Caronte]

I don't know how they are called in English:

He's an astronaut. What else do you need?

he's the hamburglar in cereal form

Nestle Honey Stars, but I forgot his name

Speaking of which, how come the wolf is now naked? I distinctly remember him wearing a jacket.

Also in SEA when Nestle brought over cookie crisp they changed the wolf into a panther for some odd reason.

 

[Grym]

That's okay. The wolf is an abomination anyway. Jarvis the wizard or Cookie Crook/Officer Crumb are the real cookie crisp mascots

 

[Boss Doggie]

Eh I wouldn't say abomination, just generic.

For some odd reason they stripped him naked in his recent version. I guess the jacket makes him too much a relic of the 90's?
