Toucan Sam Kellogg's NOS "You Throw Me for a Loop" Mylar Balloons in Lot of 8

Description

Kellogg's cereals were born as a part of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg’s late nineteenth-century treatments at his Battle Creek Sanitarium, in southwestern Michigan. Kellogg was a physician and adherent of the Seventh Day Adventist Church, which advocated a bland vegetarian diet and abstention from things like caffeine and alcohol. Much has been made of his efforts to steer patients away from impure sexual thoughts, but processed grain products for breakfast were also intended to perform a colon body cleanse and deal with constipation and dyspepsia (indigestion), common ailments of the day as they are now. Cold breakfast cereals made it easier to serve and eat healthful foods when there wasn't time for cooked grains like oatmeal, especially as home iceboxes and refrigerators made it possible to store milk for longer periods of time and processed sugar became cheaper.
Toucan Sam has been the mascot of Froot Loops since its first appearance in 1963. Toucan Sam is a blue anthropomorphic toucan. The colors of his bill correspond to the three original Froot Loop colors.While toucans have a sense of smell as most other birds, he is portrayed as having an uncanny ability to smell Froot Loops from great distances and locates a concealed bowl of the cereal while intoning "Follow my nose! It always knows!"
or "Follow my nose! For the fruity taste that shows!" He was originally voiced by Mel Blanc, the original voices of Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck, later changing to a "British accent."
Toucan Sam becomes a party bird with these colorful Mylar balloons. Each measures 17 inches un-inflated, 15 or so inches when inflated with your favorite flavor of helium. What a super way to celebrate a birthday, get well for someone coming home from the hospital or National Cereal Day, next March 7! This lot contains 8 balloons and is shipped free in the US in a padded envelope. Check out our other Kellogg's collectibles (stuffed and wristwatches) at www.ebay.com/str/agitpropshoppe
