    One?! You're mad, I tell you... MAD! just kidding

    I guess I'd bring back Pizza Head.

      The Noid from Pizza Hut or the Pizza face and the pizza cutter from Pizza Hut.

        Technically the Noid was for Domino's Pizza, and the other was Pizza Head for Pizza Hut (a sly homage to Mr. Bill).

              That dog was w/a criminal first right? Than became a freelance criminal dog, than turned straight and dropped the whole criminal act. I always like little histories like that. Kinda like the Cin. Toast Crunch Chefs. There were 3, than just Wendell (?) did test markets show kids prefered a weird old man by himself rather than with 2 other middle aged guys?

                        Damn - I remember when the mascot for Cookie Crisp was the wizard.



                        I feel old..

                        Oh, and I'd choose the old ladies from Wendy's who couldn't find the beef. Too bad they're all gone now. :(

                          Speaking of Wendy's, did anyone else think the girl on the sign looked suspiciously like Pippi Longstocking? I thought it was really her until i was 9 or so...

                            I do remember the Cookie Crisp Wizard. I also remember Poppy the Porcupine from Kellogg's Corn Pops.

                                Remember BOB? He was the speaking head that went around to different places telling people to eat at Krystals. There was a ad that went around at Christmas asking people to vote to "Boot Bob" or to "Keep Bob" obviously, the boots won.

                                He was a white man who was just filmed showing his head. He stood in a hole or stuck his head through a box or car trunk or something.

                                  Me too! I wish it was 1982 again! Cookie Crisp didn't have to rely on cops 'n robbers yet.

                                  Being reminded Alpha-Bits had Alfie, the St. Bernard as well (have some cels from those commercials).

                                  Oh, and I'd choose the old ladies from Wendy's who couldn't find the beef. Too bad they're all gone now. :(

                                  They was mostly only one of all that demanded beef the most, Clara Peller.

                                      Clara!! That's right! Thanks.

                                      I couldn't remember her first name.

                                      And I'll throw in one more: I miss the original Burger King King. He didn't have that disturbing looking wooden face, and didn't scare the holy hell out of you. He looked like a normal person. And there were other characters too... I forgot their names.
