The dad is the one who told the child that Cheerios is heart healthy.

But I don't think this ad fell into that trope. Dad was an innocent victim of an aggressive Cheerios drowning child.

but I don't eat them
Because that was my stepfather's favorite snack
And I hate that piece of shit.
Luckily, there's a good chance this commercial will make him re-think his snack choice and I can eat them again knowing it will stick in his craw.
