Cereal Posters and Art Prints
Description: Baron Von Redberry was a cereal that launched in 1972, featuring a World War I era German pilot, presumably modeled on “Red Baron,” Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen. The cereal itself consisted of berry-flavored oat cereal with sweet berry marshmallows and tasted strongly of fruit punch. Baron Von Redberry was the nemesis of Sir Grapefellow, mascot of Sir Grapefellow cereal. In the vein of the cereal rivalries like Quisp & Quake bickering over which one was better, Redberry would proclaim, "Baron Von Redberry is der berry goodest!" and Grapefellow would counter, "Sir Grapefellow is the grapest!" in their various TV spots and print ads.
Description: In March 1971, the first two cereals in the line were introduced, the chocolate-flavored Count Chocula and the strawberry-flavored Franken Berry. In the commercials, the two monsters, Count Alfred Chocula and Franken Berry, would engage in comic bickering over which cereal was better, when something or someone else interfered in their verbal sparring and scared them out of their wits.
Description: "The crunchy cereal that smiles back at you." According to a description from the March 22, 1976 issue of Time Magazine, "Later this year Ralston will introduce... Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs, which (or so kids will be told) stream from the mouth of a 'computer-type monster' named Cecil when his 'funny bone' is tickled."
Description: Sir Grapefellow was a short-lived cereal that launched in 1972, featuring a British World War I era pilot of the same name. The cereal itself consisted of grape-flavored oat cereal with sweet berry marshmallows, and tasted a lot like classic grape jelly. Sir Grapefellow was the nemesis of Baron Von Redberry, mascot of Baron Von Redberry cereal. In the vein of the cereal rivalries like Quisp & Quake bickering over which one was better, Redberry would proclaim, "Baron Von Redberry is der berry goodest!" and Grapefellow would counter, "Sir Grapefellow is the grapest!" in their various TV spots and print ads.
Description: The "Cereal Killer" design features a playful and mischievous spoon character donning a dark, mysterious mask and holding a tiny weapon, ready to "attack" a bowl of cereal. The color palette could include deep blacks, bold reds, and perhaps a splash of milk-white. This design cleverly blends the innocence of breakfast with a humorous and edgy twist. It's a whimsical and amusing piece for those who enjoy a playful sense of humor, especially during the most important meal of the day. The spoon is on a mission – watch out, cereal!
