How do I do a background check on my favorite cereal mascots?!
Answers: I want to make sure the spokesperson for my cereal is reputable before I put it in my body.
Wow. To Bev: Honey lighten up. It's OK to laugh and have fun.
Now to the question: In recent years many PI firms have started to specialize in the background checks of not only cereal mascots but college and pro team mascots as well. Check your yellow pages.
Course this concern all started with that damn Taco Bell dog who had us all fooled.
why would you care about the spokesperson? First of all, he or she does not make the cereal and secondly, he or she just gets paid for them doing the commercial, they say what the company wants them to say.
First of all,you need to have a good slogan for it.
go to a detective!
or just go online and google their names lol
...i have always wondered about tony the tiger of frosted flakes..seems kinda like a creeper
You should hire that out to the Professionals. It's worth the cost.
Would that more people were concerned!
This is a serious issue which too many ignore.
It goes to the very roots of society's core values.
If the cereal industry can sleep at night knowing they are charging $4 for a box of airy-puffy-nothings, then they should be prepared to face the type of scrutiny you are putting forth. Enlightened folks are going to question.
For instance: if the mascot for the cereal item is a secret whore monger (I have heard some things about Capt Crunch) or a drug abuser (Tony the Tiger=steroids) or a drunkard (Toucan Sam) then the American patron has a right to ask and be told the truth!
But digging for the truth in these matters is difficult at best.
These guys have the best PR reps and hide their dirty laundry well.
