![]() The other two gnomes Crackle and Pop appeared with Snap in adverts and on boxes a few years later. The popular Snap, Crackle and Pop characters first appeared in radio jingles in 1932 and a year later a gnome wearing a baker’s hat appeared on the side of a packet introducing Snap to the British public. Regardless, I’m working hard on it becoming the pop to once again kick start my life.24 Why are Rice Krispies so good? Which came first snap crackle pop? Maybe it will continue to crackle for a while, maybe it will eventually turn into the snap. ![]() Without the crackle, the pop would be meaningless, without the snap, there would be nothing. Crackle is making me a stronger person and it is that fact that will help me eventually “make it”.Īs an adult woman who over-analyzes things, this is what I take away from my beloved childhood cereal today: everyone starts off with some sort of snap, it’s inevitable that everyone has experienced some sort of crackle, but without that crackle, the pop never comes.Īt the end of the commercial, when all three are singing somewhat over each other, Crackle says, “You gotta have crackle or the pop’s not found.” Ahhh, there’s the silver lining (as cynical as I get, I’m all for finding the silver linings in life). I wouldn’t be who I am, or who I will be, without all three. Pop reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by Mark Twain, “The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why.” To me, pop represents that why moment. Once pop happens, there will be more crackles I’m sure, but pop is currently a state I’m striving to get to. “You can’t stop popping when the cereal’s popping,” Pop sings, “Pop makes the world go round.” To me, Pop is my future, or my hopeful future, when everything eventually comes together. I know I can’t crackle along in a rut forever, however, and someway or somehow something new will come along.

Snap is what went well right after graduating, those first jobs, money and continuing snapping. Those carefree moments of fleeting confidence when all you really have to worry about is turning that paper in or studying for that test or deciding what to wear that weekend. The first of the three dives right in to why he’s the best sound, “What a happy sound, the happiest sound I’ve found…snap makes the world go around.” Snap to me emulates my college years. As an adult, snap, crackle and pop still means my breakfast is ready, but thanks to my rather interesting( …shall we call it a gift?) um, skill of expanding on simple things, I am able to stretch the beloved commercial into something applicable to my current pre-quarter life crisis. “Snap Crackle Pop makes the world go round,” the three mascots of the cereal sing, while each divulges into why their particular sound is the best one.Īs a child, snap, crackle and pop meant my breakfast was ready. Growing up, I remember watching commercials for Rice Krispies Cereal (like the one above) during my Saturday morning regimen of cartoon watching.
