Her parents' original surname was Rotunda, an Italian word that means being fat.

"Not too sweet?" Surely it's nicer to [ut a bit of sugar on your cereal othewise it'll be like eating shredded cardboard!!

I remember a different version as well. It went:

"Pour it on, Mary Lou,

Wheaties, Wheaties we love you,

Now go tell your mama what the big boys eat!"

Then she said "Watch out, big boys!"

They have that one on here. That is the one I remember the most too.

Thanks for sharing this one. I don't recall this version. Somewhere in my archives I have a different Wheaties commercial. Someday I'd love to meet Mary Lou.
