* '''Parodied''': The ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs are showcased alongside a whole bowl of vitamins.

* '''Straight''': An ad for ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs places the cereal box next to scrambled eggs, bacon, orange juice, milk, and French toast with syrup. (All FakeFood, of course.) The voiceover then says, "Part of this complete breakfast."

* '''Inverted''': The makers of Corrugated Bran Puffs try to [[MundaneMadeAwesome make their breakfast cereal sound more exciting and marketable than it is]] by presenting it as a standalone meal.

* '''Justified''': In an increasingly health-conscious world, most parents know that ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs are not a very good breakfast on their own. So the company presents it along with more nutritious food to make it seem like it's only ''part'' of a meal, instead of a meal in and of itself. [[note]] ''Really'' smart parents know, however, that bacon, eggs, milk, juice, French toast with syrup, ''and'' sugary cereal all together would amount to ''at least'' half a day's worth of calories and still contain a lot of sugar and fat. But TropeCo/TropeCo is banking that some don't know that. [[/note]]

** The cereal has been re-named Choco-Bombs and reformulated to be made with whole-grain rather than processed white flour, and fortified with all kinds of vitamins and minerals. [[AsbestosFreeCereal The commercial makes sure the consumer knows that it's made with whole grain]].
** Or it shows kids leading active, healthy lives. Sugary cereal won't be ''too'' disastrous if you actually get off the couch and away from the TV and play outdoors. So they imply that it's healthy that way.

** Except it's marketed towards couch potatoes with gullible parents during {{Saturday Morning Cartoon}}s, not to athletic or active children (who might not even watch TV, or who might watch TV but be too busy at karate/dance/gymnastics/softball/soccer/whatever on Saturday mornings to see the commercial and ask for Choco-Bombs).

* '''Zig Zagged''': Some of the commercials for Choco-Bombs play up their nutritional aspects, others play up their flavor aspects.

* '''Exploited''': ''Really'' smart parents know, however, that bacon, eggs, milk, juice, French toast with syrup, ''and'' sugary cereal all together would amount to ''at least'' half a day's worth of calories and still contain a lot of sugar and fat. But TropeCo/TropeCo is banking that some don't know that and will buy Choco-Bombs because they think it's only ''part'' of a healthy breakfast.
* '''Defied''': No one buys this, and TropeCo quickly has to find a new marketing strategy.

* '''Downplayed''': During TheSixties, the cereal was called "ChocolateFrostedSugarBombs". [[TheEighties 20 years later]] (and ever since), when sugars and starches began to fall into the category of AndThatsTerrible, TropeCo, Inc. renamed the cereal Choco-Bombs, so that it would still be marketable to both kids and [[ParentsAsPeople more gullible parents]]. It's the same stuff, just under a different name.
