Cocoa Krispies (known as Choco Krispis, Choco Krispies, Coco Pops, or Choco Pops outside of the United States)

(...)

Cocoa Krispies first appeared in the United States in 1958, represented by a chimpanzee named Jose. He was quickly replaced by Coco the Elephant in 1959 when Mexican-Americans complained. In 1963, the Hanna-Barbera character Snagglepuss took over as the mascot. Ogg the Caveman took over in 1968. In 1971, Tusk the Elephant became the mascot of the cereal, and he remained until 1982. Snap, Crackle and Pop (the mascots of Rice Krispies) also became the mascots for Cocoa Krispies starting in 1982. In 1991, the mascot became Coco the Monkey. In 2001, Snap, Crackle, and Pop returned, and they remain the product's mascots.

Half of these I'd never heard of.

This is the first time I comment about a quiz being american centered. Usualy (even though it often is american centered) it soesnt matter too much, because it is about things when you occassionaly watch tv or go on internet you will have heard about. Even though the place item or word doesnt excist in your country. But with this you will need to have seen it. (I indeed have heard about some stuff, cause it is often mentioned (dont know where, thats the thing about learning by osmosis) like cocopuffs and toys r us. And actually know one you can eat and the other is a store :p)
