Sugar Coated Corn Flakes

From: Post
Introduced in 1960

Sugar Coated Corn Flakes was Post's response to the popularity of Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes.

The mascot for the cereal was a talking corn-cob named Cornelius Sugarcoat.

Known premiums include: a walking Cornelius toy, cut-out baseball cards, baseball team pennants and a Bugs Bunny magic picture.

Cornelius Sugarcoat

A contest on the back of Sugar Coated Corn Flakes boxes to give this character a middle name offered some interesting insight into his persona:

"I was born near here (picture of a farm). Mother named me Cornelius 'G' Sugarcoat, 'G' for Great. Daddy named me Cornelius 'N' Sugarcoat, 'N' for Not Bad. In school, they called me Cornelius 'U' Sugarcoat, 'U' for Uncommonly Good.

Now that I'm on TV, they call me Cornelius 'M' Sugacoat, 'M' for Mmmm. Now, What's your idea?"
