Transcript: 
Collin: Back in the '50s, Kellogg's Frosted Flakes had a contest as to who would be their spokesanimal.
The spokesanimal who won, Tony the Tiger, had to run against the likes of Newt the Gnu, Elmo the Elephant, Katy the Kangaroo, and Lucky the Lioness. 
Katy the Kangaroo and Lucky the Lioness even got to grace the cover of their own cereal boxes, before Tony became official. 
But I have a question.
Lucky the Lioness?
Seriously? What is it about cereal companies and their need to call mascots Lucky!? Lucky the Lioness, Lucky the Leprechaun, and guess what the Trix Rabbit's name was revealed to be in "General Mills Comix" issue 817?
Lucky Rabbit.
It's a conspiracy.
Editor's Note: Not really.


NOTES:
   This one was meticulously researched. Also, about half of it was made up. But, the research was still important, so that I could know which half to make up. No, I'm not going to tell you which half is which, because I'm petty and mean and besides it's fun research that you'd be glad you went out and did yourself.
