Cocoa Puffs Totally Explained

Everything about Cocoa Puffs totally explained

Cocoa Puffs is a brand of chocolate-flavored puffed grain breakfast cereal manufactured by General Mills . They are small "puff" spheres that have been flavored with chocolate. Essentially, General Mills took their popular Kix cereal and added chocolate flavoring to it. Kix cereal is produced at the same factories as Cocoa Puffs, but differs in both density and circumference. Its mascot is Sonny the Cuckoo Bird, whose catchphrase is "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs". Sonny was originally dark brown but has since become orange. He wore a striped pink and white shirt, but this has been removed since 1993.
On several occasions, Cocoa Puffs boxes have stated that they're made with real Hershey's chocolate. Cocoa Puffs are sold in Latin America and Canada under the Nesquik brand thanks to a partnership between Nestlé and General Mills; Nestlé and Hershey are major competitors in the chocolate business.
A cereal bar of Cocoa Puffs has also been made. A layer of dried, sweetened condensed milk is added to the bottom of it, so that the purchaser is given the impression that it may be substituted for a bowl of milk and cereal.
"Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" is sometimes used as slang for "insane", as in the trial of Susan Polk, who was convicted in 2006 for murdering her husband. During the trial, her youngest son Adam, under cross-examination by the defense, called Polk "bonkers" and "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs."
