Nothing Sells Cereal Like A Creepy Clown

Ever wonder why clowns are so creepy? I just saw this old commercial on Reddit and had to share it. It is guaranteed to produce not only a clownphobic response but an eating disorder in any child.

Sugar Rice Krinkles was a failed cereal by Post and one can see why. By the way, before this nightmare-inducing clown, the cereal’s mascot was So-Hi, a kimono-wearing Chinese boy whose nickname was a reference to his being “so high” from the ground. What that has to do with cereal or anything associated with breakfast is your deal, but this is clearly not one of the best moments of “Mad Men.”
