Cheerios, the cereal which was formerly known as Cheerioats. In 1945, General Mills was forced to rename its cereal Cheerios due to a trade name dispute with the Quaker Oats Company. That's Jack E. Leonard as the voice of the Post man in the Alpha-Bits spot.

Game show announcer Jack Clark did the voice over for Cheerios at the beginning.

I can hear my mom's voice saying "Thanks pal, I'm trying to keep my kids away from sugary cereals and you come up with this happy horsesh*t? You just made my friggin' job ten times harder! Thanks a lot!"

A little kid would just eat the ice cream off the top.
