Have you noticed that most sugary cereal commercials always have some dude trying to steal the kid's cereal?
For example, this guy...
short, red hair, leprechaun, convincing Irish accent.Tell me this, why is he trying to steal poor, innocent children's cereal? WHY?
Creepy cereal guy subject #2 This man here..
has floppy ears, many call him "silly"... he likes fruity cereal.And the final subject, the big bad wolf...he too wants to deprive children of cereal, not just any cereal, cereal with COOKIES.
I don't know if this is a marketing thing, or what. But If my mom would have let me eat this junk when I was a kid, I'd be scared. "Mom, is little leprechaun man coming to steal MY cereal???"

It's a ploy to appeal to the selfish nature of little kids. Kind of a trick to make the little kids think the cereal is so valuable, so...tasty that someone might take it away.
Come to think of it - wasn't Barney Rubble always stealing Fred's Fruity Pebbles?
BTW - Did I mention that I love you beyond words??
