Mr. T Cereal
Who is Mr. T and Why Did He Have a Cereal?
If you weren’t around in the 80s, or lived under a pet rock, you are probably asking yourself: who is Mr. T and why did he have a cereal? Good question.
Mr. T was a pop icon phenomenon who could have only existed in the crazy 80s. The “T” was for Tureaud, his surname. Born in 1952, Lawrence was a professional wrestler turned actor. He rose to fame playing B.A. Baracus in the hit TV show, The A-Team. And who could forget him as boxer Clubber Lang in Rocky III.
However, it was his bigger-than-live, signature look and his catch phrase that made him an instant pop icon. Some people called his unique haircut a Mohawk, but it was in actuality an African Mandinka warrior hairstyle. Usually clad in a tight tank top, Laurence accessorized with gaudy gold chains and other jewelry. In an age of catch phrases, his catch phrase went viral with kids before the term “going viral” was even coined. “I pity the fool” was likewise uttered by trendy adults everywhere.

Even Pee Wee Herman Got into the Act
Mr. T Cereal appeared in the film Pee Wee’s Big Adventure, so even Pee Wee Herman got into the act. In the scene, Pee Wee Herman holds a box of the cereal and says, in his best Mr. T, “I pity the poor fool that don’t eat my cereal.” Then Pee Wee opens the box and pours the cereal over a dish of eggs and pancakes. They just don’t make movies like that anymore.
