Quick Facts

The Story of Tony the Tiger

In 1952, Katy the Kangaroo and Tony the Tiger were close in a contest by the Kellogg Company to find the representative for a new cereal, Kellogg's Sugar Frosted Flakes of Corn.  The characters shared the box until 1953 when Tony the Tiger became the only one to promote Frosted Flakes.
