The 20 Best Food Characters Ever!
To follow up my "Best Jingles" post, I'm doing one on the characters associated with different products. Watching a ton of old commercials in my previous search for jingles reminded me of all of these characters, and I decided that they need some recognition!!
So here they are - the ten best ones.
1. RONALD MCDONALD
He is like the baller of all food characters.2. TONY THE TIGER
He's grrrrrrreat! Love the bandanna insignia.
3. COCO THE MONKEY
Such a cute little guy.
4. LUCKY THE LEPRECHAUN
Also known as Sir Charms, and originally named L.C. Leprechaun.
5. CHESTER CHEETO
"NACHO CHEESAAAYYYYY!!"
6. TOUCAN SAM
Wait a second....why are all the cereal characters male? I never knew his name was Sam!
7. THE M&M CREW
Who else remembers when the blue guy was new?
8. THE KOOL-AID MAN
"Ooohhhh yeaaaaaaahhhh!"
9. THE BURGER KING
Man but is he creepy or WHAT?!
10. SONNY
He's cuckoo for cocoa puffs!
11. THE TRIX RABBIT
After spending 3 years in a rehabilitation facility for severe depression, he no longer allows himself to get ritually robbed and harassed by small sadistic children.
12. GIDGET
Yo quiero Taco Bell!
13. THE PILLSBURY DOUGHBOY
Everyone together now: Awwwwww!
14. THE KEEBLER ELVES
Led by Ernest J. Keebler, or Ernie (above).
15. BUZZ THE BEE
Bee happy. Bee healthy.
16. SNAP, CRACKLE, AND POP
17. MR. PEANUT
How old is he now?
18. CHEESEOSAURUS REX
I almost forgot to include him when, coincidentally, a commercial for Kraft came on where the spokes-girl expressed how much she missed him!
19. THE SOUR PATCH KIDS
I love this new campaign - first they're sour, then they're sweet!
20. QUIKY THE NESQUIK BUNNY
Lovin his new yoga moves, have you seen them yet?
Who are some of the other commercial food characters that you've known and loved?

I love traveling to new places and trying new things - which can either be wonderful or disastrous in the food arena. I am a New Yorker situated in Virginia for school, although I try hard not to stay in one place for too long!

I hate the King. He terrifies me!
Ronald McDonald always scared me, haha. xD Otherwise, I agree with this list!
I'd say 15. 5 - I either don't like or know enough to make an impression on.
OH YEAAAAH.
Oh no!Coco the monkey and Tony the tiger have always been my favorites… I <3 the sour patch kids though. :)
Oh my god, never seen anything cuter then The Pillsbury doughboy.
have to say i agree with the majority of this list. don't really like the king- besides where was he in the 80's and 90's?? and that nesquik bunny- i remember when he pitched nestle quick not nestle nesquik haha. oh and how did u even remember coco the monkey?! he's not even representing the cereal anymore :(

@Wait_by_Moonlight@xanga - haahaha, me too! "you better fix this hole in the wall before my dad gets back!" "I dont like when juice wears tights!" I think my favorite is the pillsbury doughboy!
Mr. Peanut looks like he can smooth talk all the ladies. Him and The King are my favorites.

And wow, they really are all guys, huh?
I am not a fan of the cheetos dude :(

Yay for advertising massive amounts of high fructose corn syrup to children! 125000 youth have diabetes! And about 13000 new cases are found each year! Yay for sweet breakfasts!
