Don’t forget the Cheerios!!

Used to watch that show in England, growing up - early 50s. We didn't have a TV, so I would go to a next door neighbors' - to watch it. Can't remember Cheerios - as being advertised on it. Weetabix, maybe …

Well here in the states, the original sponsor was Cheerios!

I see. Didn't even know Cheerios was around when that show began … when was it - 1949?

It was shown on BBC back then. They don't have commercials, anyway. You know, I don't actually remember. It could've been ITV, too. Back then, the program was shown first, and the commercials came, afterwards - so, even if there WAS a connection - it wasn't done as though a specific product sponsored it.

Notes from the Net on Cheerios:

Cheerios is an American brand of cereal manufactured by General Mills, consisting of pulverized oats in the shape of a solid torus. In some countries, including the United Kingdom, Cheerios is marketed by Cereal Partners under the Nestlé brand; in Australia and New Zealand, Cheerios is sold as an Uncle Toby's product. It was first manufactured in 1941 and was originally called CheeriOats.

Notes from the Net on The Lone Ranger series:
