Introduced in the 1950s, Tony the Tiger—the mascot for Frosted Flakes—went on to become a symbol of American advertising in the decades that followed. The cereal’s catchphrase, “They’re grrreat!” gained popularity and is still remembered today. Even with the debate over cereal sugar levels, sugar-frosted flakes are still a beloved morning staple.
