Probably the most surprising fact to come out about Tony the Tiger over the years is the fact that it was decided that he is actually Italian.
It turns out that by the mid-1970s, the character had, for some reason, grown extremely popular among young Italian-Americans, so Kellogg decided that he shared their heritage. In 1974, he found himself on the covers of the weekly Italian-language magazine Panorama and Italian GQ.
LOL, Vic the guido wants to know. What gives with the yellow eyes. Tony is now over 70 yrs old. Still sporting the jaundice eye balls. Yet not succumbing to liver disease.
I'd think, tiger stadium would be serving up some ridiculous mashup ballpark eats featuring Frosted Flakes as its main component.... Tiger fans shouting- "They're Great" with every run scored?
Sumsuch " lighten up" approach in house to get Detroit baseball on a roll.
Maybe Oscar Madison style ball park fare? My favorite moment in the old tv show. Was when Oscar goes to pour milk on his cornflakes. The carton is empty. He scans the coffee table. Notices an open beer can from the night before. Pours the stale beer over his cereal and chomps his breakfast as if its just another day.
