This hue is inspired by the playful pink of Franken Berry, the strawberry-flavored cereal monster introduced by General Mills in 1971. Its cheerful bubblegum tone captures the sugary spirit of Saturday morning cartoons, complete with berry-scented nostalgia. The cereal’s smiling pink mascot became a pop-culture icon—sweet, strange, and unmistakably from the world of 1970s breakfast imagination.
