March 7th marks National Cereal Day, one of the most beloved holidays (perhaps ever!) for breakfast enthusiasts. Our favorite cereals are made all the more special by the beloved characters<\/a> that adorn these cereal boxes. Who doesn\u2019t get giddy, or at least feels a huge grin spread across their face, as they watch classic mascots like Sonny the Cuckoo Bird and the Trix Rabbit pop up in commercials with their zany antics?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In honor of National Cereal Day, we invite you to pour a bowl of your favorite character-approved cereal, grab a spoon, and join us for a look at some of the ad industry\u2019s most beloved cereal icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only one cereal mascot has a \u201cGR-R-REAT!\u201d catchphrase. For nearly 70 years, Tony the Tiger has been a larger than life presence for Kellogg\u2019s Frosted Flakes cereal. His initial debut was actually a Kellogg\u2019s spokesanimal audition<\/a>. Tony rotated cereal boxes with other character contenders including Katy the Kangaroo, Elmo the Elephant, and Newt the Gnu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The orange and black striped tiger was a breakout hit with consumers in 1951. Today, he remains just as popular with consumers. How does Tony do it?<\/p>\n\n\nTony the Tiger | Frosted Flakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
