The original Tony the Tiger (Thurl Ravenscroft) died in 2005.<br /><br />Actually, I hadn't seen a commercial with Tony in many years where he actually talked; most of the time he is romping around with kids and smiling, and maybe he said, "They're ggrrrrrrRRREAT!" once in a rare while. In recent years I noticed his tagline was a little thinner in sound than the original.Dan Bradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02118939034032765664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8321103554333725644.post-11104740766485319372014-08-04T23:36:31.739-04:002014-08-04T23:36:31.739-04:00A fake fur coat coasts a lot less?
