Either she's a really dedicated fan or she's acrophobic (or she's cheap).

Nihil obstat® thus far.

Eastpointe is a suburb of Detroit. Kazoo will be angry that they're still ignoring the western half of Michigan.

When was the last time they used her in an ad campaign? I was drawing a blank on this one.

Cheeri O'Leary

(This is one of those questions where it makes a difference as to how they valued the question. At $300, it is K I S S.

Yes, looking at the transcript now, I can have that head-slapping "Duh!" moment, too. I didn't have it watching the show last evening, before Lisa figured it out.

But my question still stands. What dusty old magazine did they pull this ad out of?

But my question still stands. What dusty old magazine did they pull this ad out of?

I'm sure Appa wants me to do my own work, so here's the answer from page 21 of a slick 25-page official history of General Mills.

A year after the launch, in 1942, Cheeri O’Leary,
the Cheerioats mascot, was introduced. Known
as “The Cheerioats Girl,” Cheeri O’Leary
appeared in both advertising and on packaging
until 1946.

They have a picture of Miss O'Leary, too, which even us boring MAWGs are too young to remember!
