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.

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      By KaseKlosed · Posted

      Young quarterbacks Drake Maye, Bo Nix, and Bryce Young have led their teams to undefeated records since October.   Drake Maye has guided the New England Patriots to a 5-0 record in that period, with 2,285 passing yards and 17 touchdowns in nine games. Bo Nix has directed the Denver Broncos to a 5-0 stretch, throwing for 1,976 yards and 17 touchdowns, contributing to a 7-2 overall start. Bryce Young, in his second season, has led the Carolina Panthers to a 4-0 run since October, accumulating 1,390 yards and 11 touchdowns amid a 4-4 record.   Undefeated QBs since start of October (min. 4 starts)   Drake Maye 5-0 Bo Nix 5-0 Bryce Young 4-0   Bryce Young when asked about his mindset during game winning drives: "You don’t rise to the occasion you fall back to the level of your training."

      Most hated teams

      1. Cowboys-No explanation needed. 2. Rest of NFC South equally. If I had to pick I would say Falcons.    3. Eagles- Both of the games I have attended there the fans were so horrible. The fan base is so ridiculously misbehaved, I’ve never seen such immaturity. 4- Lions- I have cousins in Michigan that grew up Lions fans and they are some of the most obnoxious people I have ever met, as are all of their Lions buddies. The NFL has been lucky that Detroit has been in the cellar for its eternity.    5. Tie between Bears and Vikings. Both act like Steelers, Cowboys, Niners fans do with nostalgia and legendary seasons but neither have ever really had them. They act like they each won 5 super bowls in previous decades but never accomplished poo outside of Chicago in 85.
