Imagine waking up to the snap, crackle, and pop of Rice Krispies while the Rolling Stones provide the soundtrack to your breakfast. In the swinging sixties, this became a reality when the Stones crooned for crispy bowls everywhere.
Breakfast time has always had its own kind of soundtrack, but there was a time when it literally rocked with the sound of the Rolling Stones – thanks to a £400 deal that remains unforgettable in the annals of advertising and music history. It’s hard to believe, but back in the day, The Rolling Stones actually recorded a catchy tune for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, and here’s how it went down:
- The Jingle Session: Imagine Mick Jagger and Keith Richards crafting lyrics that would charm the taste buds and the earbuds alike; a tune that harmonized the magic of those golden puffs with the rush of rock and roll.
- The Context: At a time when bands were the epitome of cool, Kellogg’s scored the ultimate coup – having the Stones serenade the nation into breakfast bliss with a jingle that was as crisp as the cereal itself.
- The Results: That £400 might seem like pocket change now, but it was a sweet deal then, and the resulting jingle? It was a delicious slice of pop culture, marrying the worlds of music and marketing.
So, where can you catch this iconic piece of musical munchies? The ad might be a relic of the past, but it’s savored by music and cereal enthusiasts alike. After all, it’s not every day that rock and roll royalty dishes out a melody for your morning meal.
