message: Frosties Kid is actually CGI! Who would've guessed? Well here's some evidence for you: http://frosties.i8.com/
Sure, it's a little irritating but ... I do feel so sorry for that boy, getting beaten up and stuff. At least he's been on TV - what have those bullies ever done? Michaelritchie200 13:11, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

message: As much as you may dislike the skids on the frosties advert, i think we would all appreciate it if you were to refrain from vanalising this article and letting your personal views interfere with its neutrality; I have removed the offensive material in question.

thread_title:  Vandalism 

message: Under tagles there is a "song" posted-
:Everywhere we go. 
:People want to know. 
:Who we are. 
:So we tell them. 
:We are tigers. 
:Mighty, mighty tigers. 
The poster added the contribution with just an IP address.  I think its just a version of a British school song, children used to sing on long coach journies:
:Everywhere we go,
:People always ask us,
:Where'd ya come from?
:So we tell them....
:We come from (school name)
:Mighty, mighty (school name)
:And if you can't hear us we'll sing a little louder.
:(repeat ad infanit >>)
It was a very annoying song, but can anybody source the mighty, mighty tigers? 
If you are going to allow this (please give reasons) then why will you not allow the lyrics (surely classed as taglines) of the current uk advertisment?  Mike33 07:18, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Taglines 

message: Think everybody is bored of the UK frosties advert (this must have been the most vandalised page on wiki ever). The Frostie kid still very much alive on UK TV.
The Song accompanying the advert "they're gonna taste great, they're gonna taste great..." is based upon Ian Dury and The Block Heads" - I Want to be straight
:I want to be straight, I want to be straight
:I'm sick and tired of taking drugs and staying up late.
:I wanna confirm, I wanna conform
:I wanna be safe and I wanna be snug and I wanna be warm
:I want to be straight, I want to be straight
:I wanna create a place of my own in the welfare state
:Brr, gonna be good, brr, gonna be kind
:It might be a wrench but think of the stench I'm leaving behind
:I want to be straight, I want to be straight
:Come out of the cold and do what I'm told and don't deviate
:I wanna give, I wanna give, I wanna give my consent
:I'm learning to hate all the things that were great when I used to be… bent!
[| Song Lyrics]
Its an unfortunate aquasition of a tune (although not uncommon in advertising Vitalite/Me Israelite)- Perhaps that is why it has caused controversy. In this instance as you can see - straight means having a normal everyday routine rather than sexuality.

thread_title: Source of the Tune of Frosties Advert

message: Did he or did he not kill himself? There are so many rumors we all need the truth.
(btw people are vandalising the page with rumors and then linking to wikipedia to spread the rumors more)
The frosties Kid
:mmm the frosties kid - Oscar Wilde once said about stories about how he had demised "...Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated".'''
:According to my email from kelloggs no. The advert was filmed in South Africa using South African actors.  The agency UDA was the advertising agency involved.  
: I have sent in a complaint to the Advertising Standards Agency UK - explaining that Kelloggs may be using the enormous debate on the net (over 500 forum new topics and blogs) about the advert that the advertisers were exploiting their actors.
:I doubt ASA (UK) will abritrate on the case. Probably, reject it outhand, but hope it closes the nonsense. The website for adjudications is [| ASA Adjudications]
 The new ASA adjudications are published every wednesday. 
:Hope it helps, Mike Mike33 19:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: DEATH

message: Anyone can find hundreds of sources about the frosties kid (but they are from forums and blogs) -
: 'They're gonna taste great!' 
::rumors After the release of a British television advertisement for Frosties, which featured a teenage boy singing a crude song (main lyric - 'They're gonna taste great!'), rumors began to circulate around the UK that the boy had committed suicide due to the largely predictable bullying he was expected to experience after having starred in the seemingly embarrassing advert. The ad continues to be shown, however, which probably disproves the rumors.
DELETED
: The editor could have used specific sources about the frosties rumour. think it would be better to deliever this kind of thing to wiki page. urban myth item deleted Mike33 21:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
