Does This Remind You of Anything?

comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: The cereal mascots’ riot and incursion on Kellogg's HQ to stop the Pop Tart certification has direct parallels to the January 6th incursion, with Thurl even wearing a tiger-stripped buffalo hat similar to that of the QAnon Shaman.

It Will Never Catch On

comment
It Will Never Catch On: A running gag in the film is the characters scoffing at future developments - air bags, the moon landing, even the Pop-Tarts themselves being frosted.

Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs: Parodied. Both Kellogg's and Post are obsessed with marketing their cereals to kids, and adding more sugar is the go-to solution for making them more appealing to them.

Serious Business: The race between Post and Kellogg’s to create a breakfast pastry eventually involves a sugar cartel, a secret milk mafia, and even entwines the Soviet and United States governments, with the conflict even triggering the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Mundane Made Awesome: The trailer opens with the toasting of a pop-tart, framed and given the voice over of a rocket launch.

Expy: Jon Hamm and John Slattery play a pair of ad men who are obvious Captain Ersatz versions of their Mad Men characters. Given that Slattery's character is even named "Roger", it borders on a Crossover Cameo.

Goofy Suit: Kellogg’s employs a number of characters dressed like cereal mascots like Snap, Crackle and Pop and Tony the Tiger (the latter played by Hugh Grant).
