Top 10: Cereal mascots.

HM: Apple Cinnamon Cheerios: Apple and Cinna-man. I had chosen this to be my #1, but I could not find anything of them other than the image below. I’m not sure why I even like them, but since they are discontinued they only make for an honorable mention. I have a few vague memories of them, and even though I don’t ever remember eating that cereal (apple cinnamon cheerios), I remember having a flip-book of them that I was absolutely fascinated with.

10. Trix: Trix Rabbit. This rabbit is cracked out. Plus I thought it would be fitting to have him be in the same spot on a 2nd list. I never understood the correlation between catchphrases and kids cereal, but he doesn’t even say his. While he’s hard-headed beyond belief, I do admire his persistence. I wonder what happens if you DO feed a rabbit Trix.

9. Corn Flakes: Cornelius. Minimalistic, symbolic, awesomic.
8. Boo Berry: Boo Berry. I only know of this guy due to searching, as I’ve never even heard of this guy, but the dude looks incredibly cool stoned. Reinforces the pothead / kid cereal correlation.
7. Corn Flakes: Sunny. Two scoops of awesome. Even earned a spot on Family Guy.

6. Rice Crispies: Snap Crackle Pop. On top of Rice Crispy treats, we’ve also been bestowed with women as dressing up as these guys for Halloween. Not to mention a reference when someone breaks a bone or tears a ligament.

5. Lucky Charms: Lucky. “They’re always trying to steal me lucky charms,” Why does everyone laugh when I say that? Classic.
4. Honey Nut Cheerios: Buzz. This guy is reverse Abraham Licoln, do an image search of him and you will always find one of him smiling. Maybe its the Honey Nut Cheerios, or maybe its morphine, who knows.
3. Count Chocula: Count Chocula. 1) Cool title. 2) Alliterative name. 3) A vampire, this guy would have been #1, but Edward Cullen kind of ruined the whole vampire category.

2. Captain Crunch: Captain Crunch. You and the Captain DO make it happen. However we can accredit the Captain’s placement due to this:

(Me as Captain Crunch, AJ as Pop, and the actual Count Chocula)

1. Frosted Flakes: Tony the Tiger. Behold a top ten list within a top ten list. You’re welcome.

1. Is actually recognizing himself as #1.
2. Greatest catchphrase ever.
3. Has his own shoe.
4. Cereal is tasty.
5. If there were a top ten list for tigers. He would be on the top of that.
6. “Eye of the Tiger” is actually a tribute song to this great fellow.
7. Some people have a bigger hard-on for him that I do. Prime example.
8. American Icon, even though he’s Italian.
9. Triple alliterative.
10. Is a flippin’ tiger.
