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.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
