Apple JacksApple Jacks are a brand of cereal produced by Kellogg's and targeted mainly at children. The product is described by Kellogg's as "crunchy, sweetened multi-grain cereal with apple and cinnamon." Despite the name, Apple Jacks do not have a strong apple flavor. Advertising A television ad campaign in the 1990s featured rebellious children expressing their allegiance to Apple Jacks, apple flavor or no, proclaiming, "We eat what we like!" Around the same time, similar ad campaigns for Twix and Bubble Tape focused on kids' ability to make their own choices, whether or not these choices made sense to grown-ups. This was in marked contrast to previous ad campaigns; for example, Kix cereal advertised itself as being "kid tested, mother approved." The shift toward marketing cereals directly at children signaled the growing recognition of children's influence on family purchases. History Originally, all Apple Jacks cereal pieces were orange and O-shaped. In the mid-1990s, O-shaped green pieces were introduced. On December 8, 2003, as part of a marketing promotion, the orange jacks remained O's but the green jacks turned into X's.
