Pebbles Cereal
Arguably the most famous and successful example of the trope, the Pebbles Cereal's mascots are the various characters from The Flintstones, outlasting the original cartoon and every other iteration since. The idea of using established media characters to sell cereal was unheard of at the time of its creation, making it a Trope Maker.
