HAPPY NATIONAL CEREAL DAY! Did you eat cereal this morning? I hope so. Everyone knows it's National Cereal Day. Thank you John Harvey Kellogg for the cereal and the circumcision.

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just pick the first 4 you say when I do the tally. If you list the same character multiple times I'm going to count it as 1 vote. Be nice to others and their potentially bad opinions. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Don't take this topic series too seriously. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Cereal-specific rules: The character must originate as a cereal mascot, so no Fred Flintstone or Mario amiibo box. No Wheaties athletes either.

I will count groups of mascots like "Snap, Crackle and Pop" as 1 mascot just so you don't have to waste three votes on them or pick which one of them is your favorite. This rule only applies if they are all mascots for the same cereal, so you can't combine votes for Count Chocula, Frankenberry and Booberry.

Video Game Villains: Bowser, Sephiroth, Ganondorf, Dr. Eggman

YESTERDAY: We once again missed the top entrant getting 69 votes for the third time. Yes, this is important to me.

Ganondorf seems like he did well here on paper, but I don't think I've ever seen more reluctant votes for something in this whole topic series. A lot of people wanted it known that yes, they were voting for the Dorf, but not because they actually like him or anything, b-b-baka.

Eggman was tied with GLaDOS early on but then pulled far away. Notably, there were very little compelling arguments presented for any villain. Usually we get an impassioned speech that boosts something's performance even temporarily but that never really happened other than Ulti rallying 3 other people to vote for a Creeper.

Note: ChatGPT has updated and now generates two responses per question. In this case both responses were the same list. If it ever gives two different lists I'll post them both.

AI Rushmore by Bing AI: I generated over 30 Rushmores and had to edit the prompt multiple times before it even gave me something close to resembling a single character (Bowser). The second head KINDA looks like Sephiroth in this one. Not sure if it's copyright protection or bad luck or bad prompts screwing it up:

So on a whim I decided to look up who the original cereal mascot was (It's Cap'n Crunch, by the way, unless you count the Quaker Oats Man for oatmeal), and I found this.

Kelloggs Corn Flakes were first sold commercially in the US in 1906, making their way across the world and reaching Australia in the early 1920s. A strict Seventh-Day Adventist, John Kellogg initially marketed the cereal as a healthy, ready-to-eat, anti-masturbatory morning meal."

In a freakish episode of history, Kellogg wrote that masturbation led to poor digestion, memory loss, impaired vision, heart disease, epilepsy and insanity to name just a few of its supposed insidious side effects. To break young boys of the habit, he suggested procedures that ranged from the ridiculous to the barbaric, including tying their hands, bandaging the offending organ or putting a cage over it. Young girls had it worse, with pure carbolic acid applied to the clitoris or, in more extreme cases, surgical removal. When those tactics didnt work (or were realized as inhuman), he recommended they all just eat Corn Flakes.

what

who knew this was why cereal was invented

Cap'n Crunch
Tony the Tiger
Lucky the Leprechaun
Trix Rabbit

Those four are probably the most recognizable to modern audiences, at least in the US - not sure if other countries have different mascots. Such is the power of Tony the Tiger that he is the only one of my four who doesn't have his product in his name and he still conjures up the product. Tony also has possibly the most recognizable catchphrase among the cereal mascots, though the Trix Rabbit is close. Does Cap'n Crunch even have a catchphrase?

Trix Rabbit has an ongoing storyline in a way that the other mascots don't have ("storyline" might be generous but his commercials have plots, albeit the same plot). Lucky has sort of the opposite story ("they're always after me Lucky Charms!"), but I don't associate it with him as much as I associate the tragedy of the Trix Rabbit with the rabbit. Then again, it might just be me - the "lucky charms" line is pretty enmeshed in pop culture. Either way, they're both on the Rushmore, so why split hares (get it).

This video is also highly relevant to the discussion:

The Trix Rabbit has eaten Trix at least five times, though all of them were before I was born.

when I entered this topic the first thing I thought was the rabbit has to be here. after that I just went and looked at the replies to see what others were saying that made me think "okay yeah that makes sense".

I also thought of the Cheerios bee but it took me a minute to actually get his name. And I feel like that alone merits him not being here!

This topic really showcases how US-heavy this place is. You guys realize Count Chocula or Cap'n Crunch basically didn't exist in Europe for a long time right, heck, even now. So I can't imagine them existing easily in Africa or Asia.

Cornelius Rooster and Tony the Tiger are shoe-ins imo, afterwards I have no clue, probably two of the American ones.
