Chip

When Ralston Purina’s Cookie Crisp cereal came on the scene in the late 1970s, the mascot was actually a wizard. His name was Jarvis, and he used his magic to bring you a delicious bowl of breakfast goodness. In the 80s, the company used Cookie Cop and Cookie Crook in their kid-friendly commercials, and the cops and robbers effect was a hit for the label. However, in 1990, the brand found its niche with a pawesome idea!

Chip the Dog joined the crew and became a partner to Cookie Crook instead of a police dog for Cookie Cop. Together, Crook and Chip stirred up mischief and tried to steal Cookie Crisp cereal. The ads usually ended with Cop catching Crook and Chip; Cookie Cop would then explain that this cereal was part of your balanced breakfast. Chip quickly became known as the dog that would howl the name of the morning treat: “Coo-ooooooookie Crisp!”

In the late 90s, Ralston Purina sold Cookie Crisp to General Mills, and the mascot shifted. Cookie Crook and Cop were dropped from the box and ads, and the dog took over. And that’s maybe how it always should have been. We, for one, love Chip the Dog here at Wag! And we certainly like thinking about cookies for breakfast. That’ll bring out the kid in you if nothing else will!

Chip the Dog lost his robbing mask and, instead, extended boxes and bowls of Cookie Crisp to kids. Usually, an adult figure would step in, and he or she would state what we all assume: “Hey, cookies aren’t for breakfast!” However, by the end of the commercial, Chip the Dog, the kids, the parents, and the audience at home would be cookies-for-breakfast believers. The proof was in the taste!

In 2005, Chip the Wolf stole the cereal show, and he’s now the face of Cookie Crisp. We’re just glad you kept it in the canine family, General Mills. We now see “The Howler,” but many of us probably remember the cereal campaign’s roots with Chip and the gang. Remember that if you’re looking for a cereal inspired dog name, you don’t have to study the titles of cereals alone. Examine the boxes. Check out the mascots and even the older television commercial cartoons. You could find the best cereal moniker ever by exploring the unique and interesting animated figures we all grew to laugh at and love over the years.

Cereal Inspired Dog Name Considerations

As you select your dog’s cereal inspired name, think about their appearance first. You might select some of these titles because they reflect the beautiful coat or the size of your new dog: “Toast,” “Frosty,” “Peanut,” “Flake,” “Cocoa,” and “Golden” are only a few that might fit your doggo perfectly. Don’t forget to think about cereal mascot names instead of only the breakfast treats’ titles themselves: “Tony,” “Lucky,” “Snap,” “Crackle,” “Pop,” “Sam,” and “Cap’n” all have ties to beloved cereals. You see these characters on the boxes as well as in the television ads.

More cereal names taken right from the titles are “Froot Loop,” “Cheerio,” “Crispix,” “Wheaties,” “Trixie,” and “Special K.” Sometimes all you need to do is take a stroll down the cereal aisle at the grocery store. Those colorful boxes boast some spectacular monikers that are likely to win over your cereal-obsessed heart and even your four-legged buddy. Maybe you grew up eating a certain cereal, and you still love it today. Choose a name that commemorates your childhood: think about “Apple,” “Jacks,” “Rice,” “Krispie,” “Raisin,” and “Bran.” If you love the name and enjoy saying it aloud, then more than likely, your furry pal is going to approve.
