Krinkles the Clown

Krinkles was the mascot for Post Sugar Rice Krinkles cereal, introduced in 1956. Post launched the cereal to compete with Kellogg's Sugar Smacks. They eventually dropped Krinkles + the cereal underwent several name changes (Frosted Rice Krinkles) before the product line was discontinued in 1969. It seems the actor playing Krinkles remains a mystery to this day!
