SANTA BARBARA, Calif., December 3, 2004-
Well known and loved Kellogg’s Rice Krispies frontmen, Snap, Crackle, and Pop have been caught in a media frenzy ever since they were seen at a halloween party in Santa Barbara in October. Snap, the eldest of the trio was arrested for “littering” rice krispies, while the other two managed to fly under the radar. Snap will plead his innoscence in a landmark case today that will decide how fictional characters will be tried for years to come.

The Santa Barbara Police Department claims that the assailant was not actually Snap but the famed Chico State University student, Nate West. No evidence to this point has been presented to satisfy the claim.

Kellogg’s Cereal would not return calls but released this open letter to the public:

Snap!
The oldest brother, is the leader of the group and has fun managing the cereal careers of his two brothers.

Crackle!
The typical middle child — is good-hearted and fun. He loves playing practical jokes on Snap!

Pop!
The youngest of the three, Pop!, has a likeable personality. He loves to eat Rice Krispies® and will spend most of his time doing so.

The only other case of this kind was in 1989 when Tony the Tiger was accused of public lewdness for leaving his home wearing nothing but a bandana tied around his neck. The case was dropped when other fictionional characters came out against the suit including Winnie the Pooh and Donald Duck.
