Dirty Mind/Controversy era inspired by Cereal Box? An article was posted on AOL today about the "20 Craziest Cereals Ever". Number 11 was Kombos here's what the writer had to say about the cereal "After finding success using a tiger to market Corn Flakes, Kellogg's decided to use another exotic beast, the Blue Gnu, to represent the cereal's orange-flavored incarnation. While using one of the African savanna's most obscure animals seems like an odd choice, it's even stranger that they cloaked the character in a trench coat, like some kind of citrus-wielding flasher."
The trench coat looks more purple than blue in the pic, and I thought it was a strange similarity that he also wore a button saying "The Blue Gnu" which looked a lot like Prince's "Rude Boy" button. Check the link below to see the box cover. http://www.asylum.com/gal...th/691427/ Not A Newbie, Just Reinvented | |

that's cute...I wonder if it was the orange flavor that was maybe overpowering or something. "The Lion Sleeps Tonight... | |

First of all there was an orange flavored frosted flakes? Yeech!
Secondly, how did that inspire the DM/C era?  I love a Man who:

Damn. I remember the Blu Gnu and I even ate that cereal.  If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |
