Um... WTF?
Their mascot is an anthropomorphic bee. Originally he was nameless, but in 2000, a contest was held to name him. An 11 year old girl from Texas named Kristine Tong gave him the name Buzzbee, later shortened to just Buzz. Buzz was originally voiced by Sterling Holloway until the actor's death in 1992.

me and all my roommates want to know more about the bee 24.7.41.194 23:02, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
I have a Honey-Nut Cheerios TV ad from 1984, and the bee's voice is most definitely NOT by Sterling Holloway. It was performed by Arnold Stang ("Top Cat"). You may wish to correct/update this information.

Another issue about the bee.
On the wikipedia page about Hadley Kay, it says that Hadley is currently the voice... "Currently, he is now the voice of the Bee in Honey Nut Cheerios' commercials (since 1994)." This says "He's currently voiced by Billy West (of Futurama fame)." Something don't add up here.

Fiber vs. sugar
It is true that the company is running commercials saying that "Honey Nut Cheerios can lower your cholesterol", but their Web site qualifies this with an asterisk, followed by "*Three grams of soluble fiber daily from whole grain oat foods, like Honey Nut Cheerios, in a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Honey Nut Cheerios has 0.75g per serving."[1] I won't dispute that three grams of fiber can reduce cholesterol, but how about when 0.75 grams of fats go head to head against 9 grams of sugars?[2] For the moment I should at least make sure the article is as cautious as the fine print.
