[edit] The Frosties Kid
The Frosties Kid was the star of a television advert campaign for Kellogg's Frosties cereal. Frosties is a Kelloggs brand marketed as Frosted Flakes in North America.
The Advert The advert was first broadcasted in the UK and Ireland during the spring and summer of 2006. It was first shown in United Kingdom Cinemas and later moved to television. The advert was produced by the UK office of Chicago-based company, Leo Burnett and featured a song which repeated the catchphrase "They're gonna taste GREAT". [1]
Rumour and Intrigue Rumour and intrigue has surrounded both The Frosties Kid and the advert itself, most of which are urban legend. Numerous urban legends state that the Frosties Kid died by suicide.[2] Humorous (and clearly fake) editing of the advertisement by Jonti Picking exemplifies this, by showing the Frosties Kid murdered by various means [3]
Media Developments On September 5 2006 the UK based Sun newspaper tracked down the Frosties kid to a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. For his own protection the youth would only reveal his name as Sven. He asked: "Can't these fools distinguish between me and a character in an advert?"[4]
