About
Nobody can’t say no to this 30-second portrayal of Scrooge in a Christmastime commercial for Honey Nut Cheerios. Officially titled “Ebenezer Scrooge Discovers Honey Nut Cheerios,” this commercial ran from around 1987 through at least the end of the 20th century. **** Guest: Joey O. (Y-Not Radio, @ImGonnaDJ24). **** Topics & Tangents: 1. A tale of two Buzz Bees: “It’s Christmas,” vs. “It’s the holidays.” 2. Arnold Stang, the original voice of the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee, Top Cat, and Nestlé’s Chunky candy bar. 3. Stranger Christmas tradition: Scrooge’s “customary” gruel, or Honey Nut Cheerios as a holiday breakfast? 4. The lifespan and ancestral history of honeybees. 5. Addendum: Thanks to Guy Hutchinson for identifying our Scrooge as actor Bill Gavin. **** Full show notes with links at adventcalendar.house. Say hi on Twitter @adventcalhouse. Theme song by Bronwen’s Ghost. Full show notes and social links at adventcalendar.house.
