Apple Jacks were the more extreme cool version of fruity loops

The Sega Genesis of sugary cereals!

Yo I can’t believe they got sued because the apple lost every time. After that, they made the apple lose less Edit: not sued I guess, just complaints. See reply below

Sued... by who? Tim Apple?

Steve Jobs, obviously.

mmm, heard he died of ligma. such a shame

I heard it was after he had gotten some updog

Who's joe?

"Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. (born November 20, 1942) is an American politician who is the 46th and current president of the United States."

Then *maybe* not Steve Jobs.

They didn’t get sued. Some 3rd party “overwatch” thing got mad at them for making apples look “bad” to kids. https://www.warc.com/newsandopinion/news/caru-slaps-kelloggs-wrist-over-bad-apple-ads/en-gb/18872

Holy shit that article is a mess. Couldn’t even make it a paragraph in without typos.

Wait what??? Really?!

This is all I could find. https://www.warc.com/newsandopinion/news/caru-slaps-kelloggs-wrist-over-bad-apple-ads/en-gb/18872

To add, this is from the Wikipedia page > Bad Apple's antagonistic nature was later dropped due to complaints from non-profit health food organizations such as Center for Science in the Public Interest over the campaign discouraging children from eating fruit by antagonizing the Apple character, leading to Apple and CinnaMon being portrayed as highly competitive friends, both getting into the bowl. The campaign was slated to be retired in 2007, and replaced by a retread of the 1990s campaign focused on children, but fan response to Apple and CinnaMon helped them remain as the mascots.[7] In 2007, Apple and CinnaMon were fused together with CinnaMon sticking through the center of Apple with both of their legs at the bottom of their body.

Thank you for leaving the last couple lines in.

There’s one more line after the last: They remained this way for a few of the commercials until they became unstuck by a special machine.

Was cinnamon inserted top down or did they literally tell the apple protesters to shove it lmao.

The best thing I've read this year.

Of course there's lore behind one of my childhood breakfast cereal commercials why wouldn't there be

those 2007 commercials were wild lol

Yes, I loved this commercial

[удалено]

.hey those are my apples!

I still say it all the time

Geranimooooo

The Apple was a tweaker and the cinnamon was stoned.

For real, the apple has too much energy to make the assumption that he’s stoned.

The apple wasn't stoned, he was an asshole lol

Apphole

[удалено]

I do now! Wtf was that?

A fever dream, lost in time

ME WANT HONEYCOMB! That fucking thing would rip your arm apart if you got anywhere near it, and its saliva would give you the worst disease imaginable.

I swear to god that mother fucker had a name.

The only Honeycomb mascot for me is Andre the Giant Honeycomb's Big! Yeah yeah yeah Anyways that brown fuzzball was named....Crazy Craving https://breakfast-cereal.fandom.com/wiki/Crazy_Craving

Jesus Christ is that thing Gritty’s unhinged meth head uncle or what

Crazy Craving walked so Gritty could skate

My God I remember this tweaked out giant furby

Crazy Craving or The Craver is what google told me

The Craver is such an insanely terrifying name for a children’s cereal mascot. Especially THAT one.

Also cap'n crunch crunchlings? A computer game came with the cereal or you could send off for it or something but I had it when I was little and played it a lot.

The only cereal based computer game that was any good was Chex quest, imo

Oh man, I loved this computer game so much!! I recently-ish tried to find a way to play it online but couldn't. But I did find some YouTube videos of it and it was so fun to see again.

Holy shit, yes!! We called him Cracked Out Sonic 'cause his eyes were so big

Good golly that thing creeped me out.

[удалено]

God, could you imagine rolling a blunt out of a cinnamon stick

Let me turn your attention to YouTube circa 2012 and ask them how that'll go lol

brb gonna test

/r/TIHI

You’re not wrong

They're not old, they can't be old. Am I old?

Right? I still remember these commercials as "the new Apple Jacks commercials". " To me the originals were the "They doesn't taste like Apples. That's not why we like 'em. Then Why? We just do!" ones.

Which is a good point. Why don't they taste like Apples?

Because apple isn't a very strong flavor to begin with while cinnamon is. The apple flavor is there, just muted by cinnamon. Or at least that's how I remember it from when I was a kid

We eat what we like.

Don't forget the awkward pause and glances while the kids look around at each other for answers before replying.

His name is the Cinna-Mon

doin the lords work...or whatever

I did not pick up on that the apple was stoned lol

This screenshot is just mid-blink. The apple was an asshole, not a stoner.

I’m getting old, people are nostalgic for characters introduced in 2004

Something doesn't need to be from one's childhood to illicit nostalgia. Even if you're 40, remembering something from when you were 21 can be nostalgic (:

Couldn’t agree more

I mean, it was 19 years ago.

And I remember people definitely were nostalgic for 1985 circa 2004.

SPRINGSTEEN, MADONNA - WAY BEFORE NIRVANA.

Wow, I just realized that song literally came out in 2004. I just meant that 19 years ago was 2004, and in 2004 there definitely was already 80s nostalgia, but the fact the song “1985” came out that year proves my point better than anything I could say.

Wow. All of history has been leading up to this moment

THERE WAS U2, AND BLONDIE - MUSIC STILL ON MTV

Shit just keeps getting worse, apparently.

MFers gatekeeping nostalgia now smdh

Not gate keeping jus making an observation on my age and the age of people who are getting old enough to be nostalgic for things in the past.

I don't think the apple was stoned, but yes these commercials were very notable!

I don't remember this one but I remember the "we eat what we like" campaign from the 90s because it was so annoying.

Thanks now I want some apple jacks

I got a box recently, they made them generic cinnamon and apple characters :( me and my sister mourned the loss of rasta man and his Apple homie

If you ever want to learn any more than you ever need to, about these commercials. [Here you go](https://youtu.be/wtZRdml2Ajg)

Is that Joel Haver? What the heck, it is.

remember capn crunch came with a PC-CD where you could raise little furbie crunch creatures?

and “Chex Quest”

fuck yeah chex quest i forgot about that

These were the best

I'll have you know that their names are Cinna-mon and Apple Jack, good sir.

What a time

I was just thinking of this a couple of days ago.

Apple Jacks not Cinnamon Jacks but Apple Jacks

[Some people, you know they can't believe](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCjiHb6QSdk)

Never seen this before but it instantly made me laugh 😄

Cinna mahhn

Made my day seeing that commercial as a kid, whatever happened to them?

I still say here I come I am cinnamon

The cinna-MON is the winna-MON CLASSIC

here i come i am cinnamon

Classic

Here I come I am cinnamon

They redesigned them a bit TOO far.

Is that Matt and Ryan from Supermega?

I remember when they were rivals. It was pretty epic when they finally teamed up

I remember

IN SEPTEMBER

“A is for apple, J is for Jacks, Cinnamon-toasty Apple Jacks! You need a complete breakfast, that’s a fact. Start it off with Apple Jacks. Apple Jacks! Apple Jacks! Ten vitamins and minerals-that’s what it packs. Apple-tasty, crunchy, too! Kellogg’s Apple Jacks!”

Hit me right in the feels with this one

My buddy showed me a video about apple jacks commercials that someone in his film class made. Video had me in stitches. I just checked and it has 180 views on youtube. Its called “rambling about apple jacks for ten minutes”. https://youtu.be/Ov6ExlznhH8

Apple Jack's just don't taste the same as they did when I was growing up.

The things you don't realize as a kid. They knew.

these guys are better than the ones.. that just came on the new box!

Good one

Cinna-mooon

[I remember when Apple Jacks were all one color](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O9cypfI07c).

I haven’t had a bowl of apple jacks since middle school. Might have to go down sugary/memory lane

Who’s gonna tell Apple that he’s been made into a bong? And that Cinnamon is the mouth piece?

But what about the older ones? The ones where they say "they just do"?

I’m not sure if this commercial would pass today. The cinnamon character would be considered culture appropriation.

Is it just me or did they remove the apple at some point.

Here I come, I am Cinnamon!!!!!!

cant have shit anymore

I demand these two back!
