on why Rice Krispies have ‘three white boys’ as a
mascot whereas Coco Pops has a monkey]



Its a Cartoon Character

oh fgs, I'm all for the BLMs movement but don't make things silly, it cheapens the cause

She could have said "Big companies should have more diversity in their advertising" and it would have sounded more sensible

Three white boys? Don't they have pointed ears? That's hardly representative.

Why not a monkey?

I think she'd do better to just hide herself away.
Rarely seems to get much right does she?

and Frosties has a tiger, maybe she should go cry about that too.

The headline not being "Snap, Cracker and Pop" is one of the biggest missed opportunities in modern media history.

A *ginger* Tiger, no less.

:hehe:

expect to see that in the Sun tomorrow :laugh:

Yes also Carton type characters

I think they're supposed to be elves

:laugh2:

In all seriousness, Snap, Crackle and Pop being referred to as "three white boys" is now one of my favourite things about 2020. That's properly made my day :joker:.

Is this a joke?

Its about time someone took a stand on behalf of gingers.....

Gingers are a persecuted minority, to be fair!

To me it looks like a Happy Cartoon

:joker:

[Coco the Monkey has been appearing in
TV adverts since 1986, promising 'chocolatey fun' and
drilling the jingle 'I'd rather have a bowl of
Coco Pops' into the nation's collective unconscious.

The mascot also reportedly helped sales of Coco Pops increase by 90 per cent with brand profitability growing fivefold between 1986 and 1992.

The cereal's United States version, Cocoa Krispies,
first appeared in 1958 with a monkey
named Jose as mascot.
After a series of changes, Coco the Monkey became
mascot in 1991, but since 2001, Snap, Crackle and Pop
have been the cereal's mascot.

Former Peterborough MP Ms Onasanya had
been jailed in January 2019 for perverting
the course of justice but spent just a month in prison.]

:skull: shes reaching with this tbh

Tuuby fair, apparently Mr Kellogg was a big ol' eugenicist so there is that :umm2:. Long dead by the time the Coco Pops mascot became a thing, of course.

*Writes to Kellogg's asking if any progress on my suggestion of Special KKK


:ninja2:

LOL... I'm loving this thread...

screaming ifvdlfhosifhv

this kinda crap actually cheapens the BlackLivesMatter movement to be honest. It's a box of cereal.

What about Nesquik though, that has a brown bunny!!!

All cereals are racist, confirmed.

The coco pops monkey is iconic, the 3 lil white twinks can go if owt.

Its just another 'jump on the bandwagon' we do not need MP's who waste time on crap like this ,so glad she no longer is one ! but you are on point it does cheapen the BLM movement .

The keyboard warrior brigade have been out in force ~ just one big slanging match and George is getting lost in it all sadly.

The former MP

Fgs. She probably googled "brands with monkey logo/emblem/mascot" found the first one that came with chocolate and was excited, she had found her little twitter storm.

Sad bitch.

Very True

But its a monkey????

How is it racist?

If anything its racist for her to liken black people to monkeys?

Loads of cereal have animals representing them, the point being is to look attractive to children so they eat breakfast

This is too funny.

Talk about reaching. :joker:

Of all the issues she could have sited ... why on earth?

Yeah I think it can get too silly and over the top , cocoa pops has nothing to do with race .

Most of these kids cereals have animal or cartoon mascots, I don't see the issue.

Shopping today there seemed to be walls of Uncle Bens rice :laugh:, reckon they are trying to sell them off before they have to pull them from the stores
