[...] product placement, the cornerstone of the beatles empire. It’s somehow alright to have Corn Flakes forced into your ears, but Coca-Cola rubbed the tea and crumpets engorged censors the wrong [...]

Public Relations, advertising, random associations…. this is “mind control”? I guess you escaped its evil clutches with your powers of critical thinking, but I think a better word for all these supposedly dubious connections is simply “capitalism.”

The Beatles were commercial? Wow, who woulda thunk?? You’re a genius, Das!

Mr. On, thank you for this invaluable comment. I used to be of the opinion that the Stones were launched by beatlemart as the ‘bad boy’ alternative to the squeaky clean FF. I see now that I had it all wrong and completely underestimated them. That was the best cereal commercial ever!

Re: Cornflake ESPecially;
Certain that the grain futures sector of the economy & breakfast food manufacturers wanted the ‘FF’ to hawk cereal more blatantly then just the commercials aired during their 1965 ABC-TV cartoon show; it was a license to print $$$, yet they never appeared in one commercial or even endorsed any up to that point in their careers, unlike The Rolling Stones on BBC’s “Top Of The Pops” w/ Mick & the boys singing ’bout the ’snap-crackle-pop’ of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies:

or later the other manufactured faux 4, The Monkees:

They did at least 6 or so of ‘em;
The Beatles apart from the two Lennon corny compositions never actively made a reference to a a certain brand of cereal or even any of the characters, as the BIG 3 cereal manufacturers- Kellogg’s, GM, & Post -used kiddie friendly cartoon characters from either the Hanna-Barbera, Jay Ward, or Total Television stable.
Except for maybe 1968, The Beatles ‘white album’- McCartney has two ditties that may have thiscloseasimilarity to kiddie ‘toon cereal pitchmen: “Rocky Raccoon” & “Blackbird” coincidentally on the “Linus The Lion-Hearted” cereal/toon fest there was a “Rory Raccoon – Hometown Hero” and his friend “Crowy”- a blackbird;
Don’t forget also that Lennon & Yoko Ono shortly thereafter in ‘69 released an LP entitled “Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With The Lions”…
Stays crrunchy, even after you pour on the milk!

I’m so happy to find out I’m not the only one who cannot stand the Beatles! I must have listened too much to it as a baby in the 60’s
