Cookie Crisp: A Classic Cereal with a Wizard Mascot

Cookie Crisp is a beloved cereal that originated in the late 70s and was created by Austin Purina, an old cereal maker. The original mascot for Cookie Crisp was Cookie Jarvis, a wizard. Eventually, the cookie cop and the cookie crook were introduced, along with a change in ownership to General Mills. Chip the dog became the new mascot, later replaced by Chip the wolf. Despite a recipe change in 1997, Cookie Crisp still maintains its nostalgic taste.
