The Top 10

10. Dig'em

While he's no Kermit, Dig-em is certainly one of the cooler frogs out there. Funny though, Smacks is probably the cereal I'd least like to eat of all the ones represented on this list.

9. Sonny

Now we're into the real stars. Some of these guys were most memorable for there catch phrases as well as their looks. Sonny had one of the best, "I'm Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs". Gotta tell ya, Not a huge Cocoa Puffs fan. But Sonny is one of the legends.
8. Buzz Bee
Another cereal I'm not a big fan of, but Everyone knows the Honey Nut Bee.
7. Count Chocula

Finally the last of the Cereal Monsters, and clearly the coolest. What a way to start your morning, Chocolate and Marshmallows, with a little bit of the occult mixed in. If you can find it, watch the Robot Chicken where they do "Zombie Idol" and Count Chocula plays the Simon Cowell role.

6. Snap, Crackle, and Pop

My personal favourite is Crackle. What's up with Pop's outfit by the way?Love the hats.
5. Lucky the Leprechaun

Lucky also had one of the most memorable catch lines, "They're Magically Delicious". A fact I discovered while putting this list together is that there was a short period of time where they actually replaced the Leprechaun with a Wizard. The public didn't take to it as well and after about a year Lucky was back.

4. Trix Rabbit

"Silly Rabbit, Trix are for Kids". Man that poor Rabbit. All he wanted was some Trix. Honestly Rabbit, it's not THAT great. It's good. Just not like Lucky Charms good.

3. Tony the Tiger

Does it get much better than Tony the Tiger? (Well on my list yes, 2 more). But seriously, he had it all. First, he's a Tiger. Kids like Tigers. Second, his cereal was good. Corn Flakes are good on their own, and this guy added sugar to them. And three he has one of the all time catch phrases, "They're Grrrrrrrrrrrreat!".

2. Toucan Sam

Toucan Sam. For decades this guy has been telling children to "Follow your nose". Froot Loops is probably the cereal I ate the most of as a kid. The commercials with Sam were some of the best. Easily one of the top 3 Mascots.

1. Cap'n Crunch
The Cap'N. What more needs to be said? If all these characters were on a boat, this guy would be in charge. It helps, that Cap'n Crunch is my favourite cereal. Long live the Captain.
What do you think? Like the list? Did I leave anyone out? Have a different number 1? Leave your opinions in the comments section.
