Black Lives Matter had Demanded that the Cookie Crisp Cop no longer be used on the cover of their cereal due to racial tension and the ongoing Civil unrest due to Police Brutality. General Mills has now removed him from the cover of the box and relegated him to the back of the box in limited use. LGBTQ+ Pioneer and Mascot Chip the Wolf will now become the lead character.
General Mills released a statement
"We Celebrate Diversity and Inclusion by making a Animal the Mascot of our Cherished Nutritional Cereal. Furries everywhere continue to look to him for inspiration and guidance. We are happy to include this representation within our company. To Celebrate we will donate 1 billion dollars to Black Lives Matter and The Harvey Milk Foundation."
