Crispy Critters
Crispy Critters was a breakfast cereal manufactured by Post Cereal starting in 1963. The sweetened cereal, made of oats, consisted of animal-shaped pieces akin to animal crackers. Television commercials featured a cartoon lion, Linus the Lionhearted, voiced by Sheldon Leonard, with the slogan "The one and only cereal that comes in the shape of animals,"〔(Topher's Breakfast Cereal Character Guide - Post )〕 sung to the tune of "Trepak" from Tchaikovsky's ''The Nutcracker'' ballet. The next year, Linus was spun off into a Saturday-morning cartoon show, which ran for two years on the CBS network, then reran on the ABC network for three more until 1969. After a decline in popularity, the cereal was discontinued.
Post made an unsuccessful revival attempt of the cereal in 1987.〔(X-entertainment article )〕 This time, the commercials featured a puppet named "Crispy" with pom-pom antennae and a furry yellow body. Crispy spoke and sang with a voice based on that of Jimmy Durante including the nonsense phrase "Ah-cha-cha-cha". This puppet interacted with a child actor and was accompanied by smaller puppets which resembled the individual pieces of cereal. Together, these puppets spoke the cereal's tagline: "It's indubitably delicious."
The phrase "crispy critter" entered American military, police and firefighter slang as a name for a burnt corpse.〔p.513 Partridge, Eric; Dalzell, Tom & Victor, Terry ''The New Partridge Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English'' 2006 Taylor & Francis〕
