Manic Monday 'Snap"





“Listen to the fairy song of health, the merry chorus sung by Kellogg's Rice Krispies as they merrily snap, crackle, and pop in a bowl of milk.” (1932 radio ad)








Originally designed by illustrator Vernon Grant, they made their debut in 1933.

Snap!™ is the oldest and the leader of the group. He solves the problems his two brothers create and wears a baker’s hat.

Crackle!™ is the good-hearted, fun middle child. He gets stuck keeping order between his brothers’ personalities and wears a red-and-white-striped stocking cap.

Pop!™ is the mischievous, clumsy younger child. He plays jokes, doesn’t take things seriously and wears a military hat.

Snap, Crackle, Pop! (and Pow?) In the 1950's a concept for a fourth brother named "Pow" was created but never used.

The great minds are working together again. Comedy Plus did the noisy trio from another angle.

Thank you for the childhood memories.

Ohhh, the memories. Good post! Snap sounds like just my big brother, cleaning up his younger siblings' mess. Haha!

I'm more like Pop - the mischievous youngest child.

Great MM post - thanks for stopping by my place.

What a great post for snap! And I love those things. Frosted Rice Krispies are my favorites, and those are surprisingly hard to find!

Great post! :)
It's true what they say about great minds.

I didn't know about Pow, though...interesting information.
