Koo Koo

,

Remember the cereal advertisement where the bird was Koo Koo for Cocoa Puffs?



Our store just started selling Hawaiian Bagels ( Ok maybe I just didn't noticed them )


JD LOVED them at break time with hot cocoa.

I looked up the Coco Puffs mascot on Wikipedia....here's what is posted there:

The mascot of Cocoa Puffs, Sonny the Cuckoo Bird, was introduced in 1962. In television commercials, Sonny attempts to concentrate on a normal task but ends up coming across some reference to Cocoa Puffs themselves (usually described by the adjectives "munchy, crunchy, chocolatey") and bursts with enthusiasm, exclaiming his catchphrase "I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs!"[5] Sonny was voiced by Chuck McCann from 1962 to 1978, and has been voiced by Larry Kenney since 1978.[6]

The line "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" has entered the vernacular as a term for somebody who is irrational.[7]

Sonny's name comes from the original format of the commercials, in which he was paired with his grandfather (also voiced by McCann). Rather than proper names, they always referred to each other as "Gramps" and "Sonny." When the grandfather was dropped from the ads, "Sonny" remained as the character's name. In 2010, Gramps returned to the Cocoa Puffs ads, with McCann reprising his role as Gramps and Kenney continuing to voice Sonny.

Sonny was designed by Gene Cleaves. Animation pioneer "Grim" Natwick (of Fleischers' Betty Boop team) also contributed to the early images of Sonny and Gramps, according to then-contemporaries who collaborated with Natwick.[8]

Sonny was originally depicted as wearing a pink-and-white striped shirt, then in 1995 was redesigned, this time wearing 1990s "extreme" clothes and being given a more Disney-esque appearance. In 2004, he was redesigned in a more simplistic fashion, this time without clothing.

They have a pineapple with a subtitle ham flavor. We've crept up to 2 C !!!! Hard to believe it with all the snow cover.

A NAKED SONNY !

Thanks BOB... Sonny is still probably the best description of our reaction to the bagels. I normally just get plain or blueberry... leaving the jams, jellys, butters and honey the choice of the eater. We finished off the bag then and there.

Hawaiian bagels sound special. Don't know whether they made it to NC. May I ask how many chemo treatments are on your list? Do you have enough time to recover after each treatment? My granddaughter had 2 treatments each month last year. Just thinking about that time. I hope, you'll feel better soon, Darter.

I am every two weeks on Thursday but it makes me sick off and on for several days and just sneaks up on me. Look for those bagels in the store they have a pineapple / ham flavor that is hard to explain, however, I bet you'd enjoy them.

I can honestly say I have never seen Hawaiian bagels, but then again, I don't normally buy bagels. For me they would be classified as an extravagant luxury. They certainly do sound delicious. I'm glad you and JD found and enjoyed them.

It was a cloudy 7C (44F) here today, with a moderate W wind that made it feel like 30F. I barked the dog wearing a toque, parka, and gloves. I had to be careful on the icy sidewalks and streets. I visited with the neighbor for a bit after the dog walk, then came home and warmed up some pastaroni for supper.

Roger I may have to post a recipe for them. I have never made them before and just buy them.

Roger we had a daytime high of only 2 C here and I didn't go outside for very long. Tomorrow afternoon I need to go into town for quite awhile to help Martin . Catch you in chat Roger.

The only Hawaiin bagels I see r Sam's Club brand Hawaiin bagels in NC. They was in Walmart site.
I haven't had Cocoa Puffs in a lot of years. If I ever eat a sugary cereal anymore it's usually Apple Jack's !
Has the doctor said that the chemo is helping ? How many more do U have to do ?

Mmm IDK if those bagels are the same as ours... I bet the bakeries just get a basic mix they make. I get so many different boxes of cereal here for us. I need to make us a batch of Chex Mix.... IDK how many more chemo treatments I can take ... I don't think they are working on my liver.
