Tony the Tiger (born March 19, 1930) is the chief spokesperson and mascot of Kellogg’s Frosties. He first appeared as spokesperson for Kellogg’s in 1952, and despite the 55-year period in which Tony should have aged since then, he surprisingly looks no different. It is believed this miracle in aging-prevention is due to the abnormal levels of sugar and e-numbers in Frosties.

As well as his work for Kellogg’s he has trained as linguist and is a talented wordsmith, famed for his essays and works about the political and social turmoil of the world (see They’re Grrrreat, volumes I, II, III and IV, a series of books concerned with the rise and fall of communism in Russia in a broader social, political and economic context in the overall landscape of the world).

He is also known and honoured for his charity work, appearing frequently on television in the tear-jerking Frosties Kid commercials, appealing for the improvement in the health and welfare of Frosties Kids everywhere.
