Here's why the cereal commercials say, "Part of a balanced breakfast": They used to teach meal balancing in schools. A balanced meal has vegetables or fruit, carbs, and a protein. Our bodies digest a balanced meal better and it gives you energy for hours. If you each only cereal (carb) you'll have a sugar crash in about an hour, feel like crap, and want to go to sleep. So have your cereal...but add some bacon and cantaloupe...BOOM you now have a balanced breakfast.
I remember the baseball ad growing up as a kid when I was vacationing at Marble Lake, Michigan. That's how I was first introduced to the cereal, AND when I first tried it, as well.
Officer Crumb: Cookie Crook will never take the Cookie Crisp Cereal! Cookie Crook: With a wheel, there’s a way! They look like little chocolate chip COOKIES!! Officer Crumb: It looks like you, (Eats Cookie) flipped over the delicious part of their complete breakfast! Singers: If you love cookies, you’ll love Cookie Crisp!
Fun Fact: The original creator of this product nowadays does products for pets. Founder's last name is Purina (Checker board square's name was also changed as Purina)
It started as a pet food company first. I remember as a kid being confused when I saw that Ralston Purina checkerboard pattern on Purina brands of dog food while at the same time seeing it on boxes of Chex. Anyway, the founder's name was William H. Danforth, not Purina. William H Danforth established Purina in St Louis, Missouri, USA. ... The name Purina originates from the company's slogan, "where Purity is Paramount." The red and white checkerboard logo was inspired by Danforth's childhood neighbours, who dressed their children in a similar pattern. www.purina.com.au/about-us/our-history en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralston_Purina
The adults have a point when they say cookies aren’t for breakfast. Essentially we as Americans eat sugar for breakfast via cereal. The only one I eat is Joe’s O’s
Practically EVERY cereal commercial says that, no matter if the cereal is nutritious or not. I haven't seen a single cereal commercial that doesn't say "part of a complete breakfast" at the end.

As a 90s kid I always wanted to try cookie crisps because the commercials were so cool. I think I bought my first box last year. I was pretty disappointed when I realized it's just corn cereal with chocolate chips in it. I always thought it was actual mini cookies. Ugh 😣 childhood ruined
So the burglar murdered the wizard and eventually went insane after the dog deliberately screwed up his plans in the factory, the cop started stealing cereal from kids and was killed in open sea by the dog, and then the dog started sneaking around schools trying to sell cereal to kids.

How the fuck did chip turn from a dog into a wolf Also why did the Cookie Crisp cop become a BAD GUY?! Did he become corrupt or something? Also it’s nice to see Chip give up his life of crime to SHARE the Cookie Crisp instead of taking it for himself
6:32 THIS is where I came to be aware along the cookie crips timeline lore lol. Like THAT is the quintessential Cookie Crisp commercial for me that I remember the jingle and everything. I liked the cop and crook, but I was always a bigger fan of the dog. He was cool. I always wanted a plush of him lol
...I was around in the times they were phasing out Cookie Crook's partnership with Chip the Dog in lieu of Chip being the poster good boy only. Boy was I confused when the former Cookie Cop was suddenly all _"NO!_ Cookies aren't for breakfast, you fools!" I would also be disappointed to learn and relearn every time I tried Cookie Crisp that it didn't taste like any crispity crunchity chocolate chip cookies I knew. It just tasted like...cereal. Cereal with little cocoa bits in it. Good times though, those old commercials.

There was just no convincing my mother that this cereal is just whole grain cereal with bits of chocolate on them, not real cookies, or the amount of vitamins. Even as a child, I could tell the difference. But if only I could have fed Mom a spoonful, like in the commercials, then she wouldn’t be so overprotective.
The cookie crook was nothing more than a euphemism for a drug addict while the cookies represented drugs. The Wizard was the dealer, and the cop... well, he was just a cop.
