Cocoa Puffs
Introduced in 1956
- Sonny the Cuckoo Bird, the mascot for Cocoa Puffs, has been "coo-coo for Cocoa Puffs" since he was first created and voiced in the early 1960's. His trademark catchphrase has become so ingrained in American culture that it is now used as slang for "insane".
When introduced, Cocoa Puffs was basically sweetened, chocolate-flavored Kix cereal. In the mid-50's, General Mill also created Trix cereal and Sugar Jets cereal by enhancing the corn puff pieces associated with Kix.
Company Description: Officially created in 1928, General Mills traces it's history back to the 1860's and the ownership of two flour mills. Since then, the company has become the world's 6th largest food company - marketing to over 100 countries... Read on and see all cereals from General Mills

Sonny The Cuckoo
With his catch phrase, "I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs", Sonny was an instant hit when he appeared in his first commercial for Cocoa Puffs in 1963.
Within two years, the cockoo replaced The Cocoa Puff Kids on boxes of the cereal, where he has remained a permanent fixture ever since.

The gold standard of chocolate cereals. There is simply none better.

From time to time I'll buy a box of Cocoa Puffs. While they are still pretty good, they aren't like they were when I was a kid. Back then, they had a light coating of sugar, which made them incredibly tasty. I would love to just once more, have a bowl of those original Cocoa Puffs.

Always loved it when I was a kid. Let 'em soak in the milk for 10 minutes or so. So tasty.
