Spokespeople from both CNN and Kellogg’s told PolitiFact that the image showing what looks like a CNN headline about a Rice Krispies character is fabricated. Word spread quickly of an alleged announcement that Kellogg’s had made one of its cereal mascots a transgender character. "Kellogg’s spokesperson announces Rice Krispie mascot ‘Pop’ is now a trans woman," read screenshots of what appear to be a headline on CNN.com. Underneath the headline is an image of Rice Krispies characters Snap, Crackle and Pop, with Pop portrayed as a transgender woman. "We have made no changes to the Rice Krispies mascots, Snap Crackle and Pop," Kellogg’s spokesperson Kris Bahner said.
