emailed Kellogg’s UK office for clarification

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

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 , reckon they are trying to sell them off before they have to pull them from the stores

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

Why not a monkey?

Rarely seems to get much right does she?

Gingers are a persecuted minority, to be fair!

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

expect to see that in the Sun tomorrow

[user104658]

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 .

To me it looks like a Happy Cartoon

[arista]

[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.]
