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.
Yikes! You are sooo right! Breakfast Cereal Sexism, whodathunkit?
