icon or character

The person or inanimate object representing the cereal on the box cover. Usually a cartoon. The icon is often creepily asexual, but there are notable exceptions: Crackle from Rice Krispies is a player; Tony the Tiger gets a lot of ass; and one of the other Rice Krispies fellows is reportedly a frequent sight at several gay meat markets in San Francisco.
