# {{Mascot}}: Sugar Bear for Super Sugar Crisp (now called Super Golden Crisp). At the end of TheSeventies, sugar gained a reputation not unlike arsenic or Zyklon B, so the word "sugar" was [[UnfortunateIngredients dropped from the names]] of all major cereal brands in the United States (Sugar Frosted Flakes became Frosted Flakes, Sugar Smacks became Honey Smacks, Sugar Pops became Sugar Corn Pops and then Corn Pops, etc.). But what do you do when your mascot has "Sugar" for his first name? Why, you emphasize the "Super" in the cereal's name instead, by having him transform into ''Super Bear'' -- a full sized grizzly bear with an angry expression and teeth and claws. Needless to say, this wasn't the best image to associate with a product aimed at young easily-frightened children, and Super Bear quickly [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhLbuuxr0cg regained Sugar Bear's teddy-bear-like face]] before being dropped entirely. '''Discusses the renaming of sugar.'''

* HarsherInHindsight.{{Advertising}} Commercials for Breyers ice cream used to feature kids having trouble [[UnfortunateIngredients reading the ingredient labels of competitors]], struggling to pronounce things like "polysorbate 80" and "mono and diglycerides", but can easily read the much simpler list of Breyers' ingredients containing things like milk and natural vanilla. However, Unilever has been cutting costs in the brand, so it features those same ingredients nowadays and is even marketed as [[LiteCreme "frozen dairy dessert"]] due to the use of the cheaper skim milk and whey (a byproduct of cheese) instead of whole milk and cream.

Added DiffLines:

UnfortunateIngredients is an advertising trope. It is technically not starving (ad tropes have a lower threshold), but it is being misused - the trope is intended to be about ''renaming'' ingredients sparking outrage, but is being misused as ''any'' troublesome ingredient. May need a rename, might just be cuttable as it's a sparsely used ad trope from 2009.
