Which Breakfast Cereal Mascot Would Make The Perfect Road-Trip Companion?

by Mike Richard

Over at The Sneeze, Steve asks, “If you were driving cross-country, and were forced to bring a breakfast cereal mascot – who would it be?”

My favorites:

Tony the Tiger – Bad idea. Irritatingly upbeat and loud.

Likely dialogue:

“This interstate is GRRREAT! Look at that corn field! It’s GREEAT! You have cupholders?? THEY’RE GRRREAT! You’re pulling over?! GRREAT!”

“Get out.”

“GRRREAT!”

… and:

Sugar Bear – Mellow. Cool. Overall, not a terrible choice.

Cons: Might sleep a lot and not chip in for gas.
Pros: Smooth with the ladies. Could get you laid.

I have to agree with Steve and say I’d probably take Cap’n Crunch. Who would you choose?
