That's always been my line. You associate with Dylan Mulvaney and you're done with me," he wrote in the tweet that has been viewed almost 590,000 times.."I usually start my mornings with either Froot Loops or Frosted Flakes so this one hurts," he added..Kellogg's responded to the backlash in a statement to Newsweek.."Tony and Frosted Flakes were an official partner of this year's 76th Annual Tony Awards. Tony the Tiger was at the Tony Awards to celebrate Broadway's biggest night," the statement read.."Tony walked the red carpet at the event and took photos there and backstage with nominees and other guests, many of whom have been lifelong Frosted Flakes fans.".The ‘Tiger’ presented gold-filled cereal bowls engraved with Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes at the Tonys afterparty..“Tony is thrilled to celebrate all the amazing talent and present them with a new ‘Tony’ moment after the curtain falls,” Laura Newman, senior director of brand marketing at Kellogg Company told Fansided. .The pushback against corporations adopting transgender spokespeople and transgender clothing for children has grown since Mulvaney was seen on Twitter popping open a can of Bud Light beer bearing the transgender’s image on April 1..Since then Bud Light was dethroned as the No. 1 beer in the US and parent company, Anheuser Busch has seen its market value plummet by US$27 billion, according to Fox News..
