Last night, Emp. Peng. and I were sitting around impugning the integrity of the cereal spokescartoons of our youth, when we were stunned by the sudden realization that neither one of us could think of a female spokescartoon for a cereal. We mentally went up and down the cereal aisle and through the entire Saturday Morning Cartoon commercial lineup--all male, as far as we can tell. Even the androgynous cartoons (that's you, Trix Rabbit) had distinctly masculine voices behind them.
So here's the burning question: are or were there any animated female shills for sugary breakfast cereals? Bonus points if you know why. The comment line is open.
