Whoever he was it is reassuring when I do not succumbed to buying a Nestle product for once and it makes my bowl of cereal even more enjoyable.
Talking of Tony the Tiger it is a pity they never used his character in a cartoon or animated film seeing that he was so popular with children. I liked Rice Krispies best when I was a child with characters Snap, Crackle and Pop and went through the usual ritual like other kids listening for the snap, crackle, pop when the milk was poured on (it was fun). There was a sweetened version called Ricycles, I am not sure if it still exists (twicyle as nicycle!) but the picture of Noddy on the front just didn't do it for me as the Rice Krispie characters. For the time that it was, the characters were quite hip but to me the Noddy picture was so infantile and yet there was probably not much difference in the taste.
