    In which year did 'Tony the Tiger' debut as mascot for Kelloggs Frosted Flakes?

    Question #5094. Asked by shantaram. (Aug 13 00 3:36 AM)

    		In 1952, Kellogg's ran a contest to see who would represent their new cereal called Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes of Corn. Contestants were Katy the Kangaroo, Elmo the Elephant, Newt the Gnu, and Tony. It was a close race between Kate and Tony, so they put them both on the box. But, in 1953, Tony seemed the favorite, so he became the sole spokesperson for the cereal.
