![]() I said that I was sorry and gave them the disc. A group of angry looking people stand in front of me, they asked me why I took the disc. It repeated the word "Silence" again, in a low pitched voice.Ĭinnamon said it, like the rough voice, although it sounded high pitched.Ĭinnamon started to melt, he turned into a pile of goop, that voice returned again. Cinnamon stopped and stared at the camera, those bloodshot eyes were now dripping with blood, that was oozing out. It continued to show him skateboarding, the red apple was no where to be seen.Ī voice said, it sounded like a rough voice, it repeated "Silence" 3 times. Cinnamon stopped in front of a skateboard, he looked at it for a couple of seconds, before riding it. Cinnamon just kept walking, the same as you and I would do. He was walking a long road, it didn't seem to go anywhere, he was also mumbling something about Robin Williams and Boston bombings.Īt the time, no one knew of the Boston bombings or Robin William's death. It started with Cinnamon, though something was up, his eyes were white and were bloodshot. It showed a production card, with words saying "Silence 709G October 2007". I was thinking it would be something Halloween themed, because it started with a picture of the air date of the commercial, which was October 4th, 2007. I wondered what craziness Cinnamon and Apple would get into. When I got home, I went to my mini movie theater and inserted the disc into the DVD player. I also snuck out with the disc, it was hard but I did. The day was over, and I decided to go home for the night. ![]() 709G was a production number, I really thought we weren't even making commercials for C&A anymore. I picked up the CD, which had dust from the floor's dirtiness. The voice actor for Cinnamon walked in, in his hand was a CD labeled "709G - Silence", he dropped the CD onto the floor and left. One day in 2007, I walked into the studio, and saw everybody looking afraid, this wasn't like them when they finish commercials, they would usually be happy and cheerful. Well, I was a intern at the agency that did the Cinnamon and Apple commercials. The commercial, Stuck, was later given Silence's production number to hide the latter's existence. ![]() They were actually working on another commercial, the production number was 709G, the title was "Silence". In 2007, the production for the ads stopped and no more commercials were being produced for the ad campaign. Have you heard of Cinnamon and Bad Apple, if you don't it's basically a carefree cinnamon stick with a Jamaican accent and a accident prone apple, who race to go the bowl of Apple Jacks. I love them both, not just for their cereals, but their commercials. As of the date of this article's publication, Honeycomb is without a mascot which could mean a new, lovable character is just around the corner.In the cereal market, there's 2 companies, Kellogg's and General Mills. Funny, but possibly embarrassing to Post. More importantly, he'll only eat Honeycomb. He buzzes, crouches, and moves his eyes sporadically. In mockumentary-style ads for Honeycomb, a Jane Goodall-esque woman explains that bees raised him. Of course, the official website doesn't mention Bernard the Bee Boy either. Perhaps, the craver simply failed to capture the public's imagination the way Tony Tiger or Buzz Bee did or maybe something more sinister is afoot. The Craver doesn't show up in the official story of the cereal and the company sent Doplex an email saying information pertaining to the mascot was lost when ownership changed. The cereal's official website mentions other ads including the 1960s animated cowboy, Honeycomb Kid, and the 1970s Honeycomb Hideout. Information about the creature is suspiciously difficult to find despite his campaign lasting around 10 years. The conspiracy theory is this: Vlogger, Doplex, says that Post Cereal doesn't want us to remember the Craver. Kellogg's paid attention and brought the long-legged mascot back in 1987 and left him on the box for good. A bit of chaos ensued - some college students protested for a day, asking that Dig 'Em Frog come back. He stayed there until Wally the Bear showed up to take over in 1986. Far more charismatic than the previous mascots, he looked good in commercials and on the box. In 1972, Dig 'Em Frog showed up to save the day. They were funny, but it's easy to see why these ads went out of favor - most parents don't want kids hitting each other even if it is just a cartoon. ![]() The name says it all - these siblings smacked each other in commercials until their mother told them to get Sugar Smacks instead of pillows and boxing gloves. Then, Kellogg's replaced them with Smaxey the Seal - cute and completely forgettable. From their inception in 1953, Honey Smacks (or Sugar Smacks as Kellogg's called it in the early days) had an identity problem when it came to mascots. ![]()
