The Resume

    (1958- )
    Rooster who appears on Kelloggs' Corn Flakes box
    Kellogg's Corn Flakes was first placed on sale in 1906
    Green rooster with yellow beak and red comb

Why he might be annoying:

    Cornelius has been merchandised as a baseball cap, sweatshirt, jacket, t-shirt, mug and wall clock.
    He is an early riser and likes to wake everyone up (guess that is why he is a breakfast mascot).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He appeared on the Huckleberry Hound show.
    Many items with Cornelius are available as free premiums, if you send in the required box tops.
    A package with his likeness on the Honey Crunch Corn Flakes won a gold medal from the American Association of Marketing.
