Pedro's Left Hamstring Thread

Corn Pops used to be known as Sugar Pops. Just as Honey Smacks was known as Sugar Smacks.

Corn Pops and Sugar Smacks also had a number of different cartoon spokesmen over the years.

Pops was a skunk at one time, I think, then a cowboy. Smacks had the frog, but also a bear and an Indian.

Numerous ad-campaigns used John Williams' theme from Jaws. For many years the mascot for the cereal was "Sugar Pops Pete", a furry critter dressed as a cowboy with two "six-shooters" with red and white spiral-striped barrels. In the early 1980s, "Poppy" a female porcupine represented the cereal. Poppy carried around a yellow suitcase which contained a complete breakfast setting, meeting the by then industry standard "part of a complete breakfast" tagline.

Personally, I just can't seem to get enough

[Valadius]

I think we have a new homer graphic.

[DocTee]

New? Where you been?

[Frayed Knot]

KABOOM cereal and that evil looking clown was the original HR graphic.
It gave birth to all the subsequent KABOOMs
