Swedish Chef Cereal Commercial #1

In the late 1980's, Jim Henson produced two commercials for a breakfast cereal called Croonchy Stars, featuring the Swedish Chef. This is the first of the two. (Yes, it was produced before Henson's passing.)

your right, that cereal was the shit. But that box is valued at $6,500 as a collectors item

I used to love that cereal, it's a shame they don't make it anymore. No other famous chef can claim to have their own cereal, not Emeril, not Julia Child, not even Chef Boyardee.

Today I read the words "Swedish Chef" in a totally unrelated context and suddenly became aware of a distinct sense memory; a pleasantly sweet and cinnamon-y taste with a crunchy, puffy texture on my tongue. For a second I had no idea why. Then I remembered the Muppet character, and, almost as if I'd dreamed such an absurd product, a cereal made after him. Looked it up, and wouldn't you know, it was on the shelves for one year when I was four.

Thanks to this cereal, the Swedish Chef became my favorite Muppet.
