Kellogg's Tony the Tiger mascot was part of the company's Astronaut Breakfast Game,  which piggybacked on the popularity of space travel in the 1960s. The promotion issued to teachers encouraged kids to "Be First to Have Breakfast on the Moon" by eating a healthy breakfast, including a bowl of Kellogg's cereal. The game tracked what each student had for breakfast on school days over a four-week period. Points were awarded based on foods eaten. Each player used white game pieces, with blue ones given to the winning team.

Kellogg's was founded in 1906 in Battle Creek, Michigan as the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company. Tony the Tiger has been the mascot for Frosted Flakes since its introduction in 1951 as Sugar Frosted Flakes. The cereal was renamed in 1983. The character was voiced for over 50 years by Thurl Ravenscroft, who also did voiceover work in several movies and sang "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" from the 1966 TV special Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
