Yeah it was the marketing back then the true story is kids were looking at the commercial and thinking that healthy foods are bad for you like apples instead of sugary stuff like cinnamon. So when the cereal company got health-conscious they decided to make them both equals
OHHH, Apple was the villain. THATS why he was never on the boxes. I just noticed he was in the commercials and never on the boxes when I was little and it confused the hell out of me xD
Who else used to actually sit and wait for Cinnamon to come jump in your bowl when you poured Apple Jacks? I actually got furious when it didn’t happen lol
Yea I never got that cuz the premise was supposed to be that they don't taste like Apples, I always wondered if they changed the flavor once Apple started jumping in or what (I never ate Apple Jacks lol)
In an America dominated by the Enclave, there will be no more of these soft ass pansies running the world “cancelling” whatever they see as “harmful” towards other peoples’ feelings. We would lock them up and put them to work and make them ACTUALLY contribute to society, by force. If they don’t want to, they would be granted a first class ticket straight to hell.
One thing I question is that in the old 50’s commercials it advertised that it tasted like Cinnamon with Apple bits toasted in every ring. These commercials aded that it never tasted like Apples until a few years later. Why did they randomly decide to change it?
Whatever the case it worked for me and still does. You gotta remember, cereal characters had FUCKIN LORE in a way, its honestly shitty, I wouldn't say cartoons are dead but funny creative shit like this is dead in my opinion when it comes to cartoons aimed at younger audiences.
I guess half of it is nostalgia value but at the same time your never gonna see tye apple and cinnaMON again and thats a fuckin bummer. Thinking back, everytime these fuckers popped up on commercials as a kid I genuinely remember "enjoying" everytime I seen these fuckers, even the way it changed over time and the apple finally wins the race and they become more acquainted and shit.
Why tf they got rid of Cinnamon’s dreads?! 😭😭 What was the point? Was it racist? anyways, they just replaced the two with some Disney Channel lookin ass design.
When I was a kid and saw apple beat cinnamon to the bowl for the first time I was like... What the frick?! IN WHAT ALTERNATE UNIVERSE DID I WAKE UP IN THIS SATURDAY MORNING?!
