(rooster crows) (lion roars) - Welcome to Good Mythical More. There's lots of mascots
associated with cereals, but some of them twinkie fingers made up. Or twinkle fingers photo-shopped
and the team made up, let's find out. - You know what was also made up? This thing that we do, where

in both places, I think. I can't remember. - I don't do helicopters anymore. - Why? - Mea. - What? - Waimea. Isn't that the name of canyon. They're kind of a dangerous. - It is Kawaii. Okay, yeah. Okay, good. So that was a Jurassic Park thing. - Yeah, I did that too. Speaking of mythical.com, this is your last chance to get your hands on our Bleak Creek merch
collection over there. Once it's sold out, it's gone forever. So check that out now while you still can. Alright, let's talk about some mascots. - It's a lot harder,
Okay- - Of the cereal - a lot harder to hike up than
it is to take the copter up. - I'm listening. - [Stevie] How about Jean Lafoote? - Jean Lafoote? - [Stevie] In the 1960s,
a very popular time for both real and fake cereal mascots, Quaker Oats decided
that Cap'n Crunch needed an antagonist character, a Joker
to his Batman, if you will. - Jean Lafoote. - [Stevie] Jean Lafoote
was a pirate complete with a gold earring. His mission was to
uncover the Cap'n's secret as to how Cap'n Crunch cereal
stays so crunchy in milk. - Was he just a big foot? - No, he had a foot. - [Stevie] I don't, yeah. - This whole mascot, evil
villain, counterpart, - It's a good idea. - It definitely did happen
because didn't we establish on this very show that Ronald McDonald had
an adversary at some point? Or, no, that Burger King had an adversary. - No, Ronald had one too, Nonald McRonald. - So I'm going to go with real on this one cause it was something that was done. - [Stevie] Real. - Yep. - Let's take a look. - [ Rhett] Oh, I remember
I remembered this dude. - [ Link] It's a still frame
from an old television ad. - [Rhett] Jean Lafoote. - He could have come up
with a better name for him.. - [Stevie] I'm also being
told he has his own real, official Twitter account, but
he hasn't tweeted since 2012. - [Rhett] Yeah. - [Link] His last tweet was "My leg! Zee Crunch not
working on zis @realseadog! I am jumping overboard! Zee
Crunch will still be mine." - Wow. I would have followed that
if he was still tweeting. - [Stevie] Mikey the Magician. - Fake. - [Stevie] In 1962, before rabbit became the sole mascot for Trix cereal, he had a companion called
Mikey the Magician. Mikey was a little boy with the top hat and magical powers who could change any food into Trix cereal. Mikey was discontinued
after Quaker oats threatened a lawsuit due to the name similarity from their famous life
cereal, Mikey likes it, commercial campaigns. - Well, now that you've said all that, I kind of want to go back to real because that's a lot to make up. - Well, I'll go to
fake, if you go to real. - No, you know what? Like they say when you take the SAT, go with your first instinct, it was fake. - Nobody cares about the SAT anymore. - [Stevie] Are we locked in? - Yeah. - [Stevie] Fake. - Ha, first instinct. - [Stevie] The Mikey likes
it was in the seventies. - [Rhett] Now that is pretty awesome. - [Link] That's great
work twinkle fingers. - [Rhett] What he would look like. Cause we've got a whole class of kids who are excited about, about him. And there's a burger inside? - Yeah. - [Stevie] No, he's changed
the burger to Trix magically. - Ah, because that's what you do. - But what does that,
does he have a magic hand? What is that hand? - [Rhett] That's a gloved hand. - What did you use MS paint for this? Or, did you do this with no hands? You're busy, I get it. Next one. - [Stevie] Wolf Bran. During the mid 1980s Count
Chocula and Frankenberry were at their height in popularity and General Mills
capitalized on this success by creating Yummy Mummies cereal. That same year, they also created a lesser known cereal called Wolf Bran. Which was meant to be a
healthier option for kids. The cereal consists of bran flakes and full moon marshmallows. The Wolf brand mascot was a werewolf drawn with large muscles, tattered
clothes and yellow eyes. The cereal faded into obscurity one year after its inception. - I wonder why. - Yeah. - Kids don't like bran. Even if you put it on a wolf. - I don't think, In the eighties they weren't trying to make cereal for kids that was healthy. Or maybe they did this and
they learned their lesson. - I think that's it. I
think they did it once. I think they all talk
about, remember Wolf Bran. I think that that was
very, very commonly said in boardrooms of cereal places. Remember Wolf Bran. - They would write it at
the top of their whiteboard and they wouldn't erase that. - Let's not Wolf Bran
again, whatever we do. - Nigel, you're Wolf Branning in it. Come on. Just take a break. - When Nigel starts talking about the fiber content of the kid's cereal, that's called Wolf Branning and you're immediately asked to leave. - Did you not read the memo, Nigel? Don't erase Wolf Branning from the top of the whiteboard and don't Wolf Bran in the meeting. - [Stevie] Fake. - I wanted it to be real so bad. - [Link] Well, hold on. It looks so real though, look at that. - [Rhett] It's interesting
that the same kids are back. - You know, look at the Wolf's pants. I mean, they almost look painted on. Those are boxer briefs. - Yeah. He has boxer briefs. - Come on, with holes. I got a few of those. - Okay. - You know what? Well, let me put it in
the form of a question. Would you know my
favorite cereal right now? The cereal that I'm really into now. - I thought you were doing only smoothies. - I've gone, for breakfast, yeah, but I've gone back to cereal for comfort. Cereal is my quarantine comfort, and it's been sticking around. - It must not be Frosted Mini Wheats because you're an old man now, and you feel like you couldn't
enjoy Frosted Mini Wheats as like a regular thing. So you wanna cover yourself, but you do wanna Wolf Bran a little bit. - Wolf. You can't say it, can you? - You wanna Wolf Bran a little bit. - I'm not gonna give you any hints before you give a guess. Stevie, you can guess too. - [Stevie] Thank you. - What cereal do you think
I'm really into these days? - You're still a man child. So I have to take that into account. So something that a man
shouldn't eat on his own. So it's not Raisin Bran. - [Stevie] Ooh. That's a good guess. Cause Raisin Bran like,
seems like it's adulty, but it's actually not that good for you. And it has sugar in
it, and it tastes good. - It is good. - [Stevie] Plus they're
targeting dads nowadays. - Is that your guess? - Raisin Bran. - What's your guess, Stevie? - [Stevie] That's a good one. I think I would go with that one too. - And so you're both wrong, but everything you've said is right. - [Stevie] So it's a cereal
that seems like it's healthy? - Total? - [Stevie] Honey, honey, honey... Oh my gosh, why can't I think of the name? - Honey Bunches of Oats. - [Stevie] Yeah. - You're both guessing
the same thing every time. Wrong. - [Stevie] Honey Bunches
of Oats is delicious. - You know what? - Gets soggy too quick. - You know what a good cereal is? Is Kashi Peanut Butter Crunch
or something like that. They actually have one that's not super, super healthy, but it's good. - Everything you've said is right. - You should get the Kashi. - It's not that specialized. - Special K. - You can think about it some more. You want to show us another one, Stevie. - [Stevie] The Crazy Craving Monster. In 1995, Honeycomb created a bug eyed, wild haired possum like mascot
called the Crazy Craving. In the commercials, a child
would start to crave honeycomb and then promptly become
possessed by the monster. It proved to be too scary for children and was discontinued
soon after its inception. - Real. - Yeah. I remember that. - I've been possessed by this. - [Stevie] Yeah, it's real. - [Link] Crazy looking. I mean, look at that thing. - [Rhett] Man. So he's craving. He's
craving his Honeycomb. - [Link] You know what's
gonna sell our cereal? Possession. Let's possess a child, turn him into some, I mean it's like a werewolf there. - I feel like I need a cereal word bank. - Honeycomb is a good
cereal, if you eat it- - [Stevie] Life, life. Is life cereal that you're obsessed with? - No, he wouldn't, it's not squirrely enough for him. - All of your criteria is correct. But you didn't meet your
criteria with your first answer. - This man is not going to eat a cereal that doesn't have at least four, four to five ingredients in it. Like, you're not going to like a flake or something like that. - Wrong. - [Stevie] Wheaties? - It's a flake. I thought you were gonna nail
it right at the beginning. - It's a flake? - Yeah. - But it's not a Frosted Flakes? - No, it's not just a flake. - It's flakes and something else? - Yep. - Is it flakes and bran twigs? - No. - [Stevie] And strawberries. So that's special K though. - No. - It's not flakes and marshmallows? - No, I don't like marshmallows. - Is it flakes and berries? - Uh, no.... - [Stevie] What's a flakes
and berries cereal that's not- - Is it a Berry? It's not a Berry. - I have no idea. Is it a common cereal? Or it like a whole foods type of cereal? - It is a common cereal, but
it's tangentially common. - Oh, so it's like total with berries. - Yes, but it's got its own name. It's not like the name with. It feels healthy and it feels adult. But then it's got some
man child, kid in it. So Raisin Bran was in
the right place, but. - Craisin Bran. - Very close. - Brandon, it's got cranberries in it? - No, not cranberries. They are dried though. I thought this was obvious. It's a very good cereal. I think there's a little
hint of cinnamon in it, but they don't talk about that. - Stevie, you got any ideas? - [Stevie] No, I'm now
looking at a Wikipedia list of all breakfast cereals. - I'm trying to do that in my brain. - You couldn't have been closer. - I just don't know. - You could not have been
closer with your first guest and not guess it. - I just can't think of a cereal
like Raisin Bran right now. - [Stevie] I'm not
coming up with anything. - Can anybody think of a cereal? I say this, it's tangential. - Total tangent. - I mean, if you look at Raisin Bran, it would be right next to it. - It's just bran. - No, it's not Grapenuts. Morgan's guessing Grapenuts. - Oh no, Grapenuts flakes is a- - Grapenuts flakes, no. - Is a new cereal. - I still have Grapenuts at the house. - I've been putting Grapenuts
Let's do another one. - - You know what it is. Give us another one, Stevie. - [Stevie] Crinkles The Clown. In the 1960s post had a bland
cereal called Rice Crinkles that would later be flavored and revamped into Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa Pebbles. Is that what it? No, that's too childish, sorry. One of their mascots
was Crinkles the Clown who looked a whole lot like Pennywise, but with a tiny hat. - I guess that's gotta be real. - [Stevie] One of his famous
lines from the commercials was "It's so good, I crinkle
every time I eat it." - You just crinkle. I think that's what that means. Like, mmm, so good. So fruity pebbles is made out of rice. All of that sounds correct to me. The rice part. - Too complex to be fake. - [Stevie] It's real. - Yeah, let's see that. Oh gosh, let's stop seeing that. Give us another one. Crinkles. Good gosh. - No one can figure out
what cereal you have. - [Stevie] I can't, yeah. I have no idea, Go Lean? - No, no, it would be
right next to Raisin Bran. - Raisin something else? - Yes. - Raisin flakes? - Yes. - [Stevie] Wait, what did you say? - It's raisins and flakes,
but it's not Raisin Bran? - Yes. - [Stevie] Does it have nuts? - No. - [Crew Member] Is Raisin Bran
two scoops a separate cereal? - What? - [Crew Member] Two scoops. - Yes. - [Crew Member] Is that your favorite? - Two scoops, yes. - [Stevie] No, I think that- - It has a name. - I think all raisin bread has two scoops. - [Crew Member] No, it's a specific thing where it says two scoops
and it's like separate. - No, all raisin bran, - I thought two scoops was the
slogan for all Raisin Bran. - Two scoops is, - All Raisin Bran has two scoops. - Yeah. - Who would get one scoop
Raisin Bran when there's two? - Raisin Bran with two
scoops, that's all of them. - Now with two scoops. You can still get the one scoop. - You got another one, Stevie? I want to see twinkle fingers. - [Stevie] Yeah, I have, I have one more, but now I'm frustrated. - I wanna know what the frickin cereal is. - It's very obvious. - [Stevie] Apple Jacks Jane. - I basically told it to
you guys, you just don't- - [Stevie] It's like Raisin Bran? - It is Raisin Bran. - [Stevie] Oh, It's an
offshoot of Raisin Bran. - Yes. - [Stevie] Oh. - [Morgan] Is it Raisin Bran Crunch? - Yes, Morgan got it. He had to Google it. Raisin Bran Crunch. - I didn't know that was a cereal. - Oh really? - I could've been here all day. - None of you guys have
had Raisin Bran Crunch? - [Stevie] No. - It's like sugary-er Raisin Bran because the flakes are like frosted, but they don't tell you that. And they're really crunchy
and they don't get soggy like normal Raisin Bran
flakes because they're covered in like an impenetrable sugar barrier. And I'm the sugar bear
that's gonna bury it. Cause it's good. - [Stevie] Alright. - I highly recommend raisin bran crunch. - 13 grams of added sugars in one cup. So 26% of your sugar for
the day is in your cup of Raisin Bran Crunch. - Yeah, if it's any help, I
don't eat all the raisins. It's like Frosted Flakes. - [Stevie] Do you see that section, Rhett? Can you go down to the section that says that you don't eat all of the raisins and see what the sugar- - If one does not eat all of the raisins. Yep, here it is. - Now you're making me
feel guilty about it. - It's still bad for you. - Is it more sugar than
Frosted Mini Wheats? - So, okay, 13 grams in a cup. I don't think so. Let's see, Frosted Mini Wheats. - See, that's why I want away from cereal because it's so much sugar. But then I went back to it. It's better than eating a
bowl of ice cream, right? I mean? - Yeah. Ice cream is got like loads
of saturated fat in it. You wanna stay away from that if you can. - Yeah, thank you. Make me feel better. - Where's the, get the facts. - Let's hear the last
one while he's talking. While he's googling. - [Stevie] Apple Jacks Jane. In the 1970s, Apple Jacks cereal created a redheaded cartoon mascot named Jane. She was scantily clad in
a bikini made of leaves and featured a snake
wrapped around her arm that would tempt her into eating
Apple Jacks in commercials. She was deemed too sexy and removed from all Apple Jacks advertising in 1974. - Apple Jacks too sexy. - That's fake. - That's fake. But I bet twinkle fingers
had a ball with this one. - It has one gram of sugar more than Frosted Mini Wheats per cup. - Oh no. I shouldn't have brought it up. - [Stevie] It's fake, but dang Emily, you fooled me and I had the answers. So kudos. - [Link] Oh that's Emily. - [Stevie] No. Emily is the writer on this episode. - Well, - [Link] Look at that talking snake. - [Rhett] Is that character from something or did twinkie fingies, - [Link] Did you draw that from scratch? - [Rhett] Invent that? - [Link] Zach? - [Zach] You guys like it? - That's cool, yeah. I wanna to talk to her. - [Zach] iStock cartoon
lady in grass bikini. - She doesn't have a name. - iStock cartoon lady in grass bikini. Those are leaves. - Did you put that purple
snake around her arm? - [Zach] Yeah. That's part of the iStock. - You added that purple snake? - [Zach] Yeah. - Where did you get that from? - Dang, the arm goes right
through there and everything. Look how he did that. - [Zach] I spent a lot
of time on this one. - She looks like she was made
to be with that purple snake. - And those kids are
rightfully celebrating. Raisin Bran Crunch, dang. Not good for you, but tastes good. - [Rhett] Last call to
