The Honey Monster, Tony The Tiger, and Snap, Crackle and Pop have been branded 'cartoon villains' by consumer watchdog Which? for failing to promote healthy eating in children.
Other well-loved characters under fire include Moo the Dairylea cow, Coco the Coco Pops monkey and Quicky the Nesquik Bunny.

FFS, should we just sell all food in plain, unbranded boxes?
It's bad enough the Cookie Monster is being forced to eat fruit.

Snap Crackle and Pop? Rice Crispies are one of the healthiest kids cereals out there. bs.

but in light of this I have so got to turn it into a comic book. Tony the Tiger versus Toucan Sam: Round 1. FIGHT!

Tony the Tiger actually turned up in one of the Naruto filler episodes. Too lazy to find it though.

Now I feel even worse

WEll the alternatives are pretty lame

I once had a conversation with the cookie monster while I was tripping. He's a wanker.

Why does the tip of the carrot have to be his penis?

There's a brand of Cigarettes in Korea that uses Tony the Tiger as their logo. He's all over the place. They're not too strict on copyright infringement over there.

That peapod looks like it's had an unfinished C-section! :eek:

I never did like Tony the Tiger. For some reason I always think he would be a bit of a cock. Same goes for that co-co pops monkey.

Now the honey monster he's the man!

Rice Crispies in Ireland and the UK have much higher salt and sugar values that those in the USa or Australia.

Overheal · 02-10-2008 10:12PM

still better than half the other crap on the shelves in fairness.

Tony always seemed like he'd be a knob in real life, the type who'd use flattery and always seem to forget his wallet meaning you'd have to pay.

Ronald McDonald is worse, I bet he's got some psychological problems as he's done nothing with his life but become a glorified pie-thrower.

Plus they both hang around with children all day. Definite paedos.

Lockstep · 03-10-2008 12:58AM

Or Captain Birdseye.

He hangs around on a boat all day with kids and eats nothing but fish fingers, his only source of fibre being the slice of lemon included as with the serving suggestion.
I for one would not relish being Gillian McKeith and having to smell his poo.

monkeyfudge · 03-10-2008 12:59AM

The best thing about Tony was the fact that the guy who did the voice was called Thurl Ravenscroft. Which has got to be one of the most awesome names ever.

He died about 3 years ago unfortunately.

Lol I always have thought there was something really wrong about cpatain Birdseye

monkeyfudge · 03-10-2008 01:05AM

Captain Birdseye was this big young hunky guy in a submarine there for a while... but that didn't seem too last long...

Kids didn't trust him as much as a guy who had a Santa Claus type look to him.
