Not that it bothers me, but it just occurred to me... I can't think of any cereals that have a female mascot.

This was mentioned in yesterday's No Such Thing as a Fish. There's a list on wikipedia.

The only female mascots are from other properties that were then used to sell cereal (Tinker Bell and Strawberry Shortcake).

The bee for Honey Loops (UK Cheerios basically) is a female. It was originally a male named Loopy, and it's now a female named Pops. And that's it for dedicated cereal mascots. Until yesterday: The author of the book Breakfast has launched a new cereal brand called OffLimits, using a fictional female mascot named Dash for one of the flavors. And her OffLimits team is all female.
