So I’m not going to lie, when I heard Chad Ochocinco was making a TV show, I was intrigued. And I’m also going to confess that I was a little giddy when they filmed the second to last episode in town, gracing not one but two local hotels. (Duh, I know, however you couldn’t imagine my disappointment they didn’t film the entire show in Cincinnati- highlighting some of my favorite haunts!)
But, when I heard Chad was making a foray into the breakfast arena I was undoubtedly confused. Admittedly, I was hoping for something a little more eccentric- maybe football shaped marshmallows or something of the like, but I’m sure we’ll all enjoy a good OchocincO a few mornings out of the week.
But, the more I think about it, it’s a playful extension to the larger-than-life brand that is the man himself. Why wouldn’t he have a cereal, and come to think of it, why don’t I?
Alli-o’s. or Alli-flakes? Why not.
I can’t help but be reminded of Krusty the clown on the Simpsons who had a line extension for everything from toys to drain cleaner, and of course his very own, aptly named cereal, ‘Krusty-o’s’ .
Hopefully Mr.Ochocinco will experience equally great success with his line extension endeavors…at least he has a better name to capitalize on…and decided upon O’s instead of Flakes.
