Food: Cereal: Branding
Frosted Rice Crispies   (+3, -3)  [vote for, against]
Every wonder why Tony the Tiger never met up With the Rice Crispie twins?

Simple:

Cross the sugar ingredients of your favorite cereals.

i.e. Frosted Rice Crispies or Honey Comb Fruit Loops or...... Chocolate Covered Sugar Bombs (haha)

This has huge neo-branding and neo-advertising potential to everyone's already very familiar and establihsed breakfest gang.

(But only that one combination is baked, as far as I know. They should try other combos as you suggest.)

There could be a story line, like the two characters got married or something, or had a baby, to go with the combined cereal. Could be weird in some examples... Also, there aren't many female cereal characers. Lots of fairly androgynous ones, maybe.

I think one of the Rice Crispie triplets was actually borne and Poplena!! I am having trouble thinking of the gender neutral character of which you speak, it is an interesting thought.

Definitely male: Tony the tiger, Cap'n Crunch, Fruit Loops toucan, all the human-like characters that I can remember.

Some animals, it's a little more ambiguous: the Cocoa Puffs cuckoo, the Trix rabbit; they're probably male, but maybe not.

Never mind, I googled and they appear to all have gender specific names.

Yes Kellogs has the Krispies but I don't see Tony the Tiger anywhere on the box!
