Question about Honey Nut Cheerios bee

[salemfan]

Many cereal mascots are featured on all in the series(e.g. Snap! Crackle! Pop! appears on every variety of Rice Krispies, not just regular Rice Krispies, and Cap'n Crunch appears on every variety of his cereal, not just the plain version). But why does Buzz, the Honey Nut Cheerios bee only appear on Honey Nut Cheerios, not on every variety of Cheerios?

Honey comes from bees

Beecausssse he makes the honey!

I guess because many of the other Cheerio types are meant to be serious adult cereals, lol.

(gasps)

You mean the bee isn't serious or adult enough to appear on boxes of Ultra-Bran Cheerios, or whatever kind they've come up with now?

Yeah...

You mean since the other varieties of Cheerios do not contain honey, it wouldn't make sense to print him on other varieties of Cheerios, but on the other hand, every variety of Rice Krispies makes the Snap! Crackle! Pop! when milk is poured over them, so it would make sense to put Snap! Crackle! Pop! on every variety of Rice Krispies?

Bingo

That's right! Incidentally, a while back Kellog's Cocoa Krispies used to have an Elephant that advertised on them, usually Snap, Crackle, and Pop were seen riding on his back. Haven't seen him in a while though, wonder where he went.

Oh where oh where has my elephant gone
Oh where oh where can he be?...

My guess would be back to the zoo.

But my guess would be the honey.

They once tried Apple and Cinna-Man as symbols of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios.
