Quisp

Quisp and Quake were two sugar-sweetened breakfast cereals originally released around 1965 in the U.S. by the Quaker Oats Company and generally advertised together (during the same commercial) as products competing against each other. The very successful ads were cartoons created by Jay Ward of Rocky and Bullwinkle fame, and used some of the same voices, including Daws Butler as the voice of Quisp (an alien) and William Conrad as the voice of Quake (a miner).

Quisp is still sold in stores, although it is much rarer than it once was.
