    What would they be called? Politic-o's?

    McCain would something very boring, with little taste or color.

    Obama would be a new brand of cereal that randomly changes to all of the competing brands based on grocery store receipts.

    sometimes you have to look at how life affects the simple things to understand the complicated things better.

    really? so any given day in the US you can pick up a box of cereal (or the most popular brand) with an African American on it?

    news to me...

    Other than King Vitamin I can't think of any white people on cereal boxes here in the USA. As far as the Wheaties boxes are concerned, they are mostly athletes, so probably just as likely to be any color.

    I don't think there's any racial prejudice here in America over cereal boxes. Maybe I'm naive or don't understand the thread.

    The parallel is a white v.s. black on a box of cereal for breakfast every morning.

    What do you think is going to sell more?

    I think one will.

    As a nation, I don't think it matters anymore. Those Wheaties boxes with Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan were in many white homes.

    Mark McGwire and Cal Ripken were in plenty of black homes.

    What are you trying to say???

    Well let's hope it doesn't matter anymore.

    This is the silliest thing I ever heard. I thought this thread was funny and now you're playing the "race card".

    There has been a pretty multi-cultural representation on Wheaties boxes throughout the years.

    The Top 7 Wheaties boxes (ranked by Wheaties) include three African-Americans: Walter Payton, Michael Jordan, & Tiger Woods. Jordan has graced more covers than anybody

    http://www.wheaties.com/history/best_of_best.aspx


    From 2006-2007, there have been 21 covers:
    http://www.wheaties.com/history/champions_boxes.aspx?YearPage=0

    -13 Teams (the Spurs, Michigan football,Tennessee Women's Basketball, etc.)
    -3 white men-
    -3 African-American men
    -1 Japanese-American (Apolo Anton Ohno)
    -1 Hispanic-American (A-Rod)

    If anyone has a complaint it's female athletes who were represented only by the Lady Vols.

    I doubt very seriously it has much to do with sales, but the first Jordan box is worth quite a bit.

    I'm not sure if sports and politics compare equally...
