[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.]
