Why do childrens cereals involve so much theivery?

I remember a great deal of cereal commercials as a child.

The Trix rabbit is always stealing cereals from the kids. The kids then steal it back since their daddy and their daddy's daddy hated rabbits so no damn rabbit is getting their Trix.

The Luck Charms guy is always being pursued by the kids who want to steal his cereal too. He gets away though.

That was really frustrating. I always wanted to see a commercial where the Trix rabbit got the trix, and a commercial where the kids finally outwitted the leprechaun and got the lucky charms.

I remember that terrible cereal Cookie Crisp had these criminals always stealing the cookie crisps and usually succeeding. Terrible message sent to children.

Are there more I'm missing? Why all the thievery?

I remember many years ago during the presidential elections that you could vote on whether or not the Rabitt got the Trix. I want to say, that he got 1 box. But not sure.

You would think that so me parental group would step in and put a stop to the theivery. Like they did to seeing the Coyote going "SLAT!"

Its because General Mills is stealing your money. Thievery is all they know. So, naturally, their commercials will reflect that.

I think Corn Pops had a commercial where the kids always took the dads Pops.

I want to say Cap 'N' Crunch had one with thievery in it. Not sure though.

Either way, they're lame. I wish all cereal commercials were more like Tony The Tiger and Frosted Flakes. "They're G-R-R-R-REAT!" Short, sweet, to the point. Just think about this for a second. The next Fruit Loops commercial, "Eat 'em!" 2 second ad. Then, we get to go back to our TV show rather than suffering through a 20-30 second ad for tampons.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
