Moomin cereal.

The packaging would look the same as the book cover, complete with blurb on the back, so nutritional information etc. would be on the base. On the top would be information about the author, Tove Jansson. Different flavours could be for different books, 1 in 10 packs would actually contain a paperback copy.

To appeal to kids, the cereal itself would be similar to cheerios in taste and texture, but instead of O-shapes, you would get Moomins, Grokes, Snork Maidens, Muskrats, Hemulens, Hattifatners, Snuffkins and, in some packs, the Hobgoblin's ruby [red-coloured lump of sugar].

All Moomin front covers ever - just scroll down. I have collected the Puffin 1970s series from ebay. [wagster, Jan 16 2009]

       neat but sounds rather expensive multiple licenses.

       oh great, now i have to learn about another obscure childhood media influence. Next thing you know, there will be an all 3D Moomin movie coming out.   

       when I was a kid we just ate small round spheres, ovoids, and circles. it was enough for us. afterwards, we'd go outside and play with rocks and strings.

       Only if they are faithful reproductions of the 1970s Puffin books - none of this recent pastel rubbish. I've (link)ed to the moomintrove in case you are unsure exactly what to use in order to earn my bun.

       Hehe. I *am* a youth. I'm also getting fed up with the fact that nobody seems to have heard of the Moomins, so this could maybe make them be re-recognised.
