Here's the legendary Tony the Tiger, the famed and storied mascot of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes. In what decade did the feline mascot first start hocking cereal?

The first time Tony the Tiger appeared on behalf of Kellogg's Frosted Flakes was 1952, when the company decided that creating a brightly-colored animal mascot was key to selling more cereal. At the time, the cereal was called Frosties, and the mascot was designed in a contest that was won by graphic artist Eugene Kolkey.
