When you need more smarts, try Raisin Brahms!
When you were a kid, did you get lectures about a healthy breakfast? Did you suffer under specific weekday breakfast rules to keep your mind alert for all your classes? I remember growing up with a huge urge for the weekend -- not for cartoons but to have sugar cereals.
Spoofing that idea, America for the Arts created a faux commercial for Raisin Brahms, which you can see above. As part of their campaign that stresses the importance of arts being taught at school, the faux ad shows a family that gets super-smart after eating arts-enriched Raisin Brahms, and being visited by late German composer Johannes Brahms.
Forget cereal boxes with sports heroes -- where are the classic composers, artists, thinkers, writers ... ?!

the other ads include mozart toasties, van goghgurt, tchaikovsky's nut crackers (in original flavor or new sugar plum fairy!). i have them as radio psa's and they crack me up. plus they are much more cheerful than the one's addressing say, home invasion or child abuse.
