The Story of SNAP! CRACKLE! POP! - Life in America

[@cyclenut]

When I was around 5 or 6 I would look at each box of cereal to see which had the best toy inside or by mail. The late 60s was a GOOD time to be a kid.

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

Cap'n Crunch had some of the best toys.

[@kirkmorrison6131]

Captain Crunch had a whistle that you could use to hack the phone system (Ma Bell) and call everywhere.

[@martinpennock9430]

Like many of the videos on this wonderful channel, it brings back memories of a simpler time when I was young and carefree. Always loved the Rice Krispies commercials, and the jingle. Yup, my biggest problem was having to come to dinner when I wanted to stay outside, or when I was still watching afternoon cartoons! Remember those? Thanks again for all you do! 👍🇺🇸😊

[@mikehughes4969]

It's amazing to me how this channel can open windows to my childhood that I've forgotten about. I used to get a big glass of milk and eat the Rice Crispies out of the box, so the snap crackle pop would go off in my mouth. I haven't thought about that in years.

I bet Snap, Crackle & Pop threw some wild parties back in the day! When I was a kid Rice Krispie Treats were only available when mom made them for a school bake sale or as grade school birthday treats (sometimes with peanut butter and nobody died) and on an unrelated note we got Chex Mix at Christmas when my mom made it in the oven.

[@nickhill8612]

Haha wow I forgot about Chex mix.

[@autumnusprime88]

The peanut butter ones were the best. My nanny/grandma used to make them. (And that was before I even heard of the marshmallow ones. I didn’t like those as much for some reason. Maybe because I was raised on the peanut butter ones nearly all my childhood.)

[@josephgaviota]

One of my mom's friends was a single woman, and as a teen I was pretty handy. Whenever I'd fix something for her, like replacing a light switch or a high lightbulb or whatever, she'd often reward me with a batch of home-made Rice Crispy Treats ... Oh, they were Soooo good. I think she used more butter than the "real" recipe, and they were rich and sweet and creamy and oh, so delicious. God rest her soul.

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

@@josephgaviota I think upping the butter was a mother’s way of showing love.

[@ZZ_The_Boxing_Cat]

At my house reading the cereal box was like Reading the Declaration of Independence! Everyone did it.

Loved Rice Krispies and Rice Krispies treats of course. Sometime in the 70’s I think they came up with Frosted Rice which used Tony the Tiger’s son as the mascot. I really loved that sugary cereal.

[@Mama4d8]

One of a few that is still the same today. I wish they'd bring back original Trix !

[@Paccekabuddha]

I just came from the store with my rice krispies and found this. Thank you so much for the characters history. Please make more mascot videos.

When I was a kid my sister enjoyed making Rice Krispies bars using marshmallow syrup. Always a great memory.

[@emmgeevideo]

You can buy them at Costco today…

[@tracyisbest]

I always ended up making my own RK treats because you need one more ingredient to make them REALLY good.......peanut butter. Totally makes the treats worth it. I really don't care for the ones they put out with just krispies and marshmallows.

Vernon Grant lived just up the road from us when I was growing up. I think my father had done some work for him or met some other way, but became friends. My oldest brother took art lessons from him. He has a whole gallery dedicated to him in my hometown museum.

[@libslayer4280]

Off to the store. Yum! Add butterscotch chips to rice crispy treats.

[@johnnygee4206]

That's awesome. Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels. Feels like I'm sitting in front of a TV in my PJ's watching Saturday morning cartoons with a bowl of Rice Krispies while one of my younger siblings is fidgeting with whatever toy came in the box. Speaking of which, how about a history of Saturday morning cartoons? I could Google it, I know, but where's the fun in that?

[@elwin38]

When i was in elementary school in the 70's, the cooks in our cafeteria used to make peanut butter Rice Krispie bars! Awesome 😋😋😋...oooweee!! This was before the marshmallow became popular.

[@pamelamays4186]

When Cocoa Krispies were first introduced, the mascot for the cereal was a caveman named Ogg, obviously inspired by the last syllable of the name Kellogg's.

[@tobyradloff]

I think the first Cocoa Krispies mascot was Coco, a monkey. Afterward. a pink elephant was on the box, then for several years, Hanna-Barbera's Snagglepuss character was on the Cocoa Krispies boxes. Ogg came after Snagglepuss.

[@shortlandstreetfan]

I used to work at a posh restaurant and loved plaiting my long hair. At the time, I had a Snap, Crackle, Pop set of barrettes and I would place them by order of their names down my braid. One day, Chef Jim walked by me and stopped. He had quite a naughty mouth, and he suddenly said, 'Do you know you have 3 ******* little men in your hair?' Everyone broke up laughing! That is such a fond memory for me to this day. Snap! Crackle!! Pop!!! Rice Krispies! X

[@Entolyfik]

Lol, this might be silly, but when I was a boy, I loved music 🎶, and wanted to become a singer. I remember many times sitting down to a fresh bowl of Rice Krispies...Cold milk, and a "little" bit of sugar 💕. I would then close my eyes, and listen to the "Snap, Krackle, and Pop." In my imagination, it would become a roaring megacenter, filled with thousands of people, cheering me on! .....Then again, I'm a nerd. Sometimes it would sound like I'm in a poetry jam session, and I just got done....then, instead it would be a big cafe filled with people snapping their fingers.

[@jrussellcase]

Loved me some Rice Krispies as a youngster. A teaspoon of sugar to sweeten them a bit, and it was on. But you had to eat them quick, before they turned into paste. And the Rice Krispies Treats are STILL an occasional staple of my diet. 😁👍

On the subject of Rice Bubbles, since 1937, when the receipe first appeared in the Australian Woman Weekly magazine, generations of children in Australia and New Zealand have been subjected to Chocolate Crackles. These are made with a simple receipe consisting of Rice Bubbles, cocoa powder, coconut and melted copha with the mixture spooned into paper cupcake cups and set in the fridge. Fond memories of greasy texture, sweet as, break your teeth.

[@paulorta8621]

This was one of the only fun cereals my late mother would allow me to have. Another fond memory I have of Snap, Crackle, and Pop was their likenesses' were were ascertained by a shock rock group known as Green Jelly (formerly known as Green Jello) for a song titled "Son of Toucan Sam". In the video, Toucan Sam's alter-ego whos name I just mentioned kills of mascots representing other cereal brands-including Snap, Crackle. and Pop. I still like Rice Krispies today!

[@tourcreole854]

In the 1960s Kellogg's came out with metal cereal spoons that had them on the handle - had to send a box top and a small amount of money - I think you taped a quarter to the box top. We had all three of them. Waiting for them to come in the mail was HELL - seemed to take forever! - but, just like in A Christmas Story, when they did arrive it was excitement!

[@roydidlock1867]

In Australia and New Zealand, Rice Krispies are named Rice Bubbles. The reason for this appears to have been lost in the midst of time- even the Kellogg company in Australia cannot provide an answer. It appears that when they were introduced to the Australian market circa 1930, someone just decided to market them under that name.

[@Cryo837]

As a kid/young teen in the 60's, Rice Krispies were actually one of the better cereals out there along with Oat Meal and Wheaties. There were so many cereals that were just sugar with a little bit of grain thrown in so it wasn't 100% yuck....so yea, RK was good. Besides my aunt used to make Rice Crispy "brownies" that were quite delicious.

I was not familiar with the history of the Snap, Crackle, and Pop characters. I have to say that I really like the original illustrations. I glad to hear that Kellogg paid the creator very well. A quarter of a million dollars is a lot of money these days, it was a huge amount back then.

[@jamesslick4790]

We were mainly a "Post" family, ("Honeycomb" has been one of my "right out of the box" TV snacks for almost 50 years,LOL) But I've had my share of Kellogg's too. Kellogg knew how to make memorable "mascots" for their ads.
