Affiliate Link – Part of a Complete Breakfast
Buy at Amazon.com!*
As a child of the seventies and eighties I have no choice but to love pop culture. It’s wired into my DNA! And a large part of pop culture has to be cereal and cereal characters, and that’s what makes me think Part of a Complete Breakfast*, written by Tim Hollis, is a book I’d really enjoy. 240-pages on “Cereal Characters of the Baby Boom Era” sounds like exactly the sort of book that should live in my library.
I’ll have to add this to my wish list and get back to it soonish.
Rediscover the heyday of these beloved cereal advertising characters in Part of a Complete Breakfast, which includes fascinating information about their origins. Did you know Tony the Tiger™ originally walked on all fours and had claws and sharp teeth? Or that Lucky the Leprechaun™ seemed to genuinely hate the kids who chased after him to take his Lucky Charms™ cereal? Meet cartoons who never made it into the public eye, including a “lost†Kellogg’s character named Nutrina, and a proposed fourth member of the Rice Krispies™ gang—a spaceman named Pow!
