History
The characters were originally designed by illustrator Vernon Grant in the early 1930s. The names are onomatopoeia and were derived from a Rice Krispies radio ad:
The first character appeared on the product's packaging in 1933. Grant added two more and named the trio Snap, Crackle and Pop. Corporate promotional material describes their relationship as resembling that of brothers. Snap is the oldest and is known as a problem solver, Crackle is an unsure "middle child" and known as a jokester, and Pop is a mischievous yet also clumsy youngster and the center of attention. There was briefly a fourth elf in the 1950s named Pow who represented the claimed explosive nutritional value of Rice Krispies.
From their original design as elderly gnomes Don Shelton, and Joe Silvia. More recent voices have included Daws Butler, Paul Winchell, Don Messick, Joel Cory, Keith Chegwin, Chad Doreck, Eddie Deezen, Thom Adcox-Hernandez, Mona Marshall, Phil Vischer, Mike Nawrocki, and Dino Andrade. Since 2009, the three elves are voiced by Andy Hirsch (Snap), Danny Cooksey (Crackle) and Mark Ballou (Pop).
The trio were used in conservation messages during World War II and briefly re-imagined as superheroes in the early 1990s, but later returned to their original gnome/elf-like form. In the 1950s – 1970's the characters were drawn by illustrator, Pete Eaton of Eaton and Iwen Art for Advertising. Leo Burnett Worldwide assigned Chicago-based cartoonist Don Margolis to do Snap, Crackle and Pop for the Rice Krispies boxes as well as other applications. Davidson Marketing also used him for their Rice Krispies assignments. Don did the three elves until the end of 1998.
On 17 June 2020, former UK Labour politician Fiona Onasanya questioned why popular breakfast cereal Coco Pops was promoted with a monkey, while Rice Krispies used the white-skinned Snap, Crackle and Pop.
The original advertising jingle, "Snap, Crackle, Pop", was written by Nick Winkless under the banner of Leo Burnett Worldwide. The lead sheet sent by Kellogg's lists the singers' names as Len, Hazel, and Joe. Nick's daughter said Nick's influence for the 3-part round was Fugue for Tinhorns from Guys and Dolls.
