I cannot find this cereal or Oatmeal Raisin Crisp at any of my local grocery stores. There was one but it is either out or, since it is far away, it is rare that I can get there and must buy several boxes.

I'm sick of the commercial on the internet. Can't they come up with something that makes sense?

Commercial is great. Best one I've seen in ages. Get a sense of humor people and recognize it's a commercial and not meant to be taken so seriously. I swear people nowadays just don't have enough to worry about that they would react against this ad. It's one of my all time favorites and my children (all 4 of them) love it too and have not been mentally harmed because of it!

Lighten Up! In the commercial, he wasn't beating the heck out of them, calling them fat, or locking them in the garage with the car on. It was a funny way of depicting how good a product is, with the target audience being the younger demographic. I'm just going to take a stab at it and say that all of you people who call this commercial "horrible" defend hoarders, and call it a "mental issue". They're LAZY. That's a real issue. This is just plain comical.

Wow, grownups need to lighten up. It's just a cute commercial. Kids know it's not serious. It's not the greatest commercial, but it's really not that offensive. - Lacy

I liked this cereal but will not buy it as long as its message says that it's OK to reject kid for a BOWL OF CEREAL! Does General Mills read what we write. Does it in any way count. If it does, they will remove this unacceptable ad.

So many children go to school hungry or skip breakfast AND the unfunny commercial for this cereal that has been airing for a long time does NOTHING to demonstrate that children NEED a breakfast.

I am pleased to see that there other people who find this a negative commercial which sets a poor example for children that basically it's okay to be selfish and greedy. It is not clever advertising - rather the opposite. I have a good sense of humour and am open-minded but surely a company of the magnitude of General Mills can do better than this.

The commercial with the kids and their dad in a car is the most disgusting commercial I have ever watched. It shows people how not to treat their children and should be removed from TV.

Saw this commercial again this morning Jan 2012. Seem abusing and lying to children is fine or is this considered just bad judgement in teasing. Really good lesson for kids to learn, if you run the risk of your kids eating your cereal, don't let them have it. Come on guys, ditch this pathetic ad.

Great commercial. Based on comments, it seems even the ones who didn't like the commercial remembered it. I'm sure the kids thought it was funny, and probably asked for the cereal. C'mon folks lighten up!

The current commercial for this cereal portrays men in a negative way and I resent it. It shows men as, untrustworthy, dishonest, and the commercial is just plain stupid. Please take it off the air.

I hate that horrible TV ad regarding the dad eating cereal in the car. It is parental abuse. I will not buy the cereal as long as it is on the air. - G. Walsh

How old is that commercial? The young girl looks like Charlotte Church, the singer; she's all grown up now with children of her own.

Well I am glad that I a not the only one with the observation that this TV add gives off a negative Message. How do you suppose we teach our children to share and then we get these message. Hope that the once responsible get the MESSAGE!!!

I no longer buy this cereal and others made by General Mills because of the commercial showing the father locking the car so that his children can't get in. Children are taught to share and this is a bad example. Little ones do not know that this is only a commercial.

Your ad during the news in the evenings with the man "locking" the car so his two children don't get any cereal is pathetic. The children walk away disgusted as this grown man locks his windows and feasts on this cereal. I will never buy it because of your ads that children are watching. Shame on you!!

No matter what the reviews say I would not buy this cereal because of the TV add. It shows self centeredness, inability to share, poor parent model and gluttony.

Please remove that terrible ad on TV regarding the dad eating cereal in the car and not letting his children in and locking the door. It's a Dad abusing his children. I'm sure you could get a much better ad for your cereal and more uplifting. - A. Wetzl
