Frosties Ad Kid Dead!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (no, he isn't) - Page 2

*Melanie68* · 08-08-2006, 09:15 PM

Maybe it's like the urban legend with Mikey from the Life cereal commercials. He was supposed to have eaten Pop Rocks and drank soda and died because his stomach exploded (which wasn't true).

I think you can download the ad of the official frosties website

seebaruk · 08-08-2006, 11:45 PM

But don't! You'll regret it forever.

For those unable to resist (and happy to live with regret).

Hehe, I saw an episode of MythBusters where they invesigated that story, and got to know it wasn´t true..

Also, if you follow the link to Snopes.com that Bulldog supplied, you'll see that the article includes a link to said advertisement.

And the article also explains to the American audience that "Kellogs' Frosties" is the name by which "Kellogs' Frosted Flakes" are known in the UK.

I thought this advert was ancient.

Mind you, I don't watch huge amounts of television nowadays. Thankfully, if this is the stage that advertising has reached.

*stepurhan* · 08-09-2006, 04:50 AM

I think this is one of those rumours that constantly updates. There are generations of (non) suiciding Frosties kids out there.

Tony The Tiger mauled Roy Horn and was put down.

*stepurhan* · 08-09-2006, 08:45 AM

Mocked for his speech impediment and appalling taste in clothes?

Couldn't he at least have got Siegfried at the same time?

Wormsie · 08-10-2006, 06:08 AM

Cute boy.

I watched it with sounds off, though, so maybe I would have hated him had the sounds been on.

Karmillo · 08-10-2006, 06:10 AM

I didnt know that the advert was that famouse that people would care this much if he was dead or not.

seebaruk · 08-10-2006, 06:26 AM

Me neither, I even heard them talking about it on Radio One a day or two ago. They were asking people to text in if they hated the kid randomly.

Flyboy · 08-10-2006, 08:27 AM

I like the Bjork "It's Oh so Quiet" crane shot at the end. Reeaaal artsy.

Gordon Bennett · 08-12-2006, 07:07 AM

Actually, it is quite true, as you can see.

*stepurhan* · 08-12-2006, 12:20 PM

Well at least it happened just before he sang "plate" (to rhyme with great)

It looked like a damned BOWL to me. Possibly "they're gonna taste mole" wasn't doing it for them.

Lucien21 · 08-12-2006, 12:31 PM

God that is the most annoying advert on TV.

InlineChick · 08-15-2006, 09:28 AM
