Call Me Lucky Charms

As recently reported in an article on The Argus, a Brighton (U.K.) man, once called Peter Thomas, has changed his name to Honey Monster, after the mascot for the cereal Sugar Puffs. Turns out that Mr. Monster had eater Sugar Puffs since he was 9, loves them, and consumes lots and lots of them--so much so that his pals said he should change his name to match the cereal mascot’s. And so he did. From what Mr. Monster says (just “Honey” to his friends), “my mum and dad think I'm crazy but I love the name.” Admittedly, it’s a pretty great name. And it made me wonder--what cereal or cereal mascot would I change my name to? Sugar Bear is darn swell (and tasty). Maybe Big Otis, lesser known mascot for Kellogg OKs? Definitely not Count Chocula, cause he sorta freaks me out. I think, at the end, I’d go with Lucky Charms, even though it’s a cereal and not a mascot (I sure don’t want to be Lucky the Leprechaun though). Not just because I think the name is good, but also because I was a fairly big fan of the cereal. What about you? If you have to change your name to a cereal or cereal mascot’s, what’ll it be? And if you have already changed your name to resemble any food or food mascot’s, what is it?

When I was a kid, Froot Loops was the official breakfast of my swim team, so I'd change my name to Toucan Sam.

My baby's unofficial name (one of many) is Boo Berry. I think I'll let him decide if he wants to officially change to it when he's older... Apparently in the 70s there was a grape-flavored cereal with a mascot named Sir Grapefellow (he was obviously friends with Baron Von RedBerry). Now, that's a great (or, grape) name!

Golden Graham would be OK I suppose...then I could be Goldie for short. It's one of my favorite cereals too!
