A chance of pink

Summary:

Snap, Crackle, and Pop find out that their branding might turn pink!

(Based on two old commercials that aired in the 2000s in Canada)

Notes:

Prompt:
The "other media" fandom tag on Ao3 is rich with bizarre media. Choose one, watch/read/interact with it in whatever way is most appropriate, and write something for it. It may be a crossover with one of your main fandoms, if you choose.

Thank you anon for the prompt. Links to the commercials that inspired this are here and here and will take literally a minute of your time to watch.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Pop couldn't believe it. A PINK Rice Krispies cereal box? Who would ever want that? Of course there was the strawberry flavour Pop had promoted many times, but that didn't change the rest of the branding!

Luckily it was put to a vote, and only Crackle was excited about the change. Snap and Pop would not let this be!

They gave the people time to vote for the outcome they wanted, and the trio weren't allowed to know what the votes were until the results were formally announced.

The result was it would stay the same, much to Crackle's dismay.

Notes:

This commercial/campaign happened in the mid-2000s in Canada and was to change the colour of the box from blue to pink, which is obvious now that I think about it, but I went literally my entire life before writing this fic thinking it was about changing the colour of the cereal itself. In my defense, I was a small child when this aired.
