The other day, I was thinking about a series of cereal commercials I had seen when my age was single-digit, and had never heard of since. It was one of those "O"-shaped cereals, but I have no idea which. The commercials featured a pair of small Os, speaking "Beat" dialect in the voices of children, who would be harassed by some aggressive or officious human (example: a music teacher who would try to make them stop playing jazz). The human would be stopped by the rumbling approach of a huge O who would thunder "I'm Big Daddy O, and I'm gonna straighten you out!" and then chase the terrified human into the distance.
I went onto Google and searched for "cereal characters", and was directed to Topher's Castle, and I have to agree that it was a good place to send me. It's a swell site, and the cereal characters (over a thousand of them) are only the beginning. Go check it out, it's swell.
