In fact I think I remember hearing the radio jingle: "Have you tried Wheaties? The best breakfast food in the land!" sung before and after the daily (or weekly, I forget) dose of "Jack Armstrong--The All-American Boy", quite a while ago.
I have recently noticed, in the breakfast food department of our local supermarkets, a new Wheaties knock-off named "Fuel" in a narrow black package with some rather sinister-looking sports heroes in full-face portraits.
These men definitely seem more from the dark side of sports--they are tough and rather mean-looking.
No Jack Armstrong here!
So goes the new role-model for today's youth.
Different world, isn't it?
