Fun facts: Froot Loops is spelled that way because, having no fruit or fruit juice in it, Kelloggs' was not allowed to call them Fruit Loops. Also, every color "loop" has the same flavor O_o
Pretty sugar Dig'em was the mascot for Sugar Smacks instead of Honey Smacks. I used to sing the theme song to my kids in the morning to wake them up..."Start your day the Sugar Smacks way...Dig'em!" (They hated it. Heh, heh.)
He's both. Honey Smacks is the same, except it was rebranded years ago when companies realized people didn't want to be reminded that they were stuffing their kids with sugary cereals. Honey sounds so much better!
I seldom fed the sugary cereals to my kids so they begged for them when they went to Grandma's house, and of course they got all they wanted there then got sent home when the sugar kicked in.
"I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys 'Я' Us kid, there's a million toys at Toys 'Я' Us that I can play with..." I hate you so, so much right now... but not nearly as much as I hate myself for getting a 100%.
I've never heard of half of these mascots. I don't think I've ever seen a commercial or advertisement of any kind for any of the brands whose mascots I've never heard of, and I've never heard of a good chunk of those *brands*. Honey Smacks? Pep Boys? Borden Dairy? Starkist? Never heard of them.
Alright, did some digging; Pep Boys is an automotive shop that only has locations in the US. Borden Dairy is (obviously) a dairy company based in the US, and Canada has way stricter regulations on milk than the US does, so we don't import a lot. Sunkist pulled out of the Canadian market in 1991, before I was born. And Honey Smacks apparently are only available through specialty importers. They look like the same thing as Sugar Crisps, which are terrible, so I can see why they didn't really catch on.
And companies...
