I wonder how and if they deal with the ongoing travesties of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben. Haven’t kept up with the latter since he got promoted to CEO or whatever, but I don’t imagine it solved the problem.
A cursory Google search doesn’t turn up anything, but a friend of mine used to swear there was a proposed fourth Rice Krispie gnome–who was African American and named “Buzz”.
This was the '70’s. That should explain why it seemed completely believable.
Maybe marijuana was still successfully associated with black people?
I kinda doubt it, rice krispies is a pretty racist cereal
Regular rice krispies have 3 white male entitled (haha j/k) elfs, and cocoa krispies have animals…
cocoa krispies have had:
Jose the Monkey
Coco the Monkey
Choco the Bear
Coco-lossal the Elephant
and for a while they had the super awesome Snagglepuss
The only fourth “elf” i can find is also white:

Italy - Pif! Pof! Paf!
Switzerland - Piff! Paff! Poff!
South Africa - Knap! Knetter! Knak!
