Hi! On Thursday, July 4, I watched a TV Show and product placement was spotted: Kellogg’s Honey Smacks Breakfast Cereal in Stranger Things – Season 3, Episode 6, “E Pluribus Unum” (2019).

Of course there was no such thing as Honey Smacks in 1985. (Sugar Smacks)
@Bill — I remember the Sugar Puffs (Quaker) in the 70s when i used to travel as a kid to the UK, super yummie!
Wikipedia says: “Introduced in 1953, the cereal has undergone several name changes. It started out as Sugar Smacks. In the 1980s, it was renamed Honey Smacks. In the early 1990s, perhaps because the product mascot, Dig’em Frog, had customarily been portrayed as calling the cereal “Smacks”, the word “Honey” was dropped from the name and the product was then simply called Smacks.
In the UK in 1957, a similar product called Sugar Puffs debuted; it was formerly produced by the Quaker Oats Company, and by 1976 the mascot became a large hairy yellow creature called the Honey Monster.
