The 1980s turned celebrity licensing into an arms race. If you were famous enough, someone would slap your face on a lunchbox, a board game, or a breakfast cereal. Which of these was a real cereal brand sold in the 1980s?

Correct Answer: Mr. T Cereal
(Source)When Quaker Oats decided to make their first licensed cereal in 1984, they wanted to be loud. Nothing's louder than "I pity the fool who don't eat my cereal." Mr. T was dominating pop culture thanks to "The A-Team" and "Rocky III," and his (mostly) T-shaped cereal lasted nearly a decade on shelves. The cereal ran until 1993, and now sealed boxes sell for hundreds online. I pity the fool who ate theirs.
