Pepper and Perry

Cereal mascots Pepper and Perry first surfaced in the 1950s, appearing in an animated commercial titled "Cuckoo Land." The ad features Mel Blanc voicing Pepper the parrot and a cuckoo bird. Many years later, the commercial was redone in color with Blanc's original voice-overs intact.
