Although the description above mentions cereal as an example, this trope actually applies to all commercials where this kind of behavior occurs.
For cases where the cereal ''itself'' should be suspect to close parental scrutiny (but somehow isn't), see [[Chocolate
The opposite of this trope (sort of) is [[Delicious Fruit Pies]].

{{quote| "And you know what I got for Christmas? A pack of cigarettes. My dad grabbed me and said, 'Smoke 'em up Tony, they're grrrreat!'... bastard."}}
* Parodied in an episode of ''[[Invader Zim]],'' when Dib encounters Turkey Neck, who complains about those darn kids who are always after his "lucky neck meats".
* Parodied in ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]''. A random, no-name crook escapes them by sheer dumb luck, only for the jewel he stole to fall into a box of cereal...that ends up at their house. He dresses up as the Trix rabbit parody, but they insist he try to trick them into giving him the cereal as per he the commercials. He [[Becoming the Mask|becomes the mask]] in short order and forgets all about his original goal. After one failed attempt too many, he breaks down and wails that all he ever wanted was some cereal. Bubbles, being the kind and sweet [[Artificial Human]] that she is, offers him a box. The overjoyed rabbit gleefully enjoys it... revealing that he was really the crook that the girls were looking for. Cue [[No
* This trope was parodied in an episode of ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', where cereal mascots re-enact ''[[Scarface]]''. They make a living smuggling sugar -- which they inhale. At one point, the "Stix Bunny" says, "Do you know how rich I'm gonna get selling all this cocaine- I mean, sugar! I meant to say, sugar. Okay?"
** [[Robot Chicken]] also parodied the Flinstones' "Pebbles" commercials: "Dammit Fred, all I wanted was some of your fucking cereal!"
