mascot of Golden Crisp (later to be called Sugar Crisp), a cereal
produced by General Foods Corporation under the POST brand.
-The original bear was designed by Robert "Bob" Irwin,
a graphic designer for Post Cereal and voiced, in animated commercials,
for 40 years by Gerry Matthews in the style of a Bing Crosby persona, as an easy going character who crooned his cereal's praises to
the tune of "Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho".
-Sugar Crisp Bear was also made a character in the 1964 Saturday Morning Cartoon, "Linus the Lionhearted".-
-Sugar Bear normally wore a blue turtleneck sweater with his name
on the front, and in the 1980s a bite of Super Sugar Crisp would turn
him into the muscular "Super Bear"
-Presently, Sugar Bear is being illustrated for the box covers by commercial illustrator, Seymour Schachter.
