From: General Mills
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

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.

I was never one to Like Chocolate Cereals of any Kind... So With that being said, this Wasn't A Choice For me Personally. But My Brother Loved It. So I still Had to Look At it in Our House regularly :)

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