How about just cereals in general? As an 80s kid, Toucan Sam, Dig Em, Sugar Bear, the Honey Nut Bee, Frank 'n Berry, et al were staples of the cartoon circuit. Now, I think the only cereal mascot seen on a decent basis is Tony the Tiger and you only see him during the LLWS which has that Frosted Flakes sponsorship. Of course, I'm not the target market for cartoon character cereal mascots anymore and I don't have kids so maybe they're still being showcased on the Nickelodeon family of networks.
