# Nostalgic-Themed Cereal Commercials Weetabix Has Put a Twist on the Three Little Pigs By Bryce Mason | Published 2022-05-26 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weetabix References: [thedrum](https://www.thedrum.com/creative-works/project/bbh-weetabix-wolf)  UK-exclusive cereal brand [Weetabix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weetabix-have-you-had-yours), best known for its palm-sized wheat biscuits, has remixed The Three [Little](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutty-buddy-cereal) Pigs. This nostalgic-themed commercial features an entirely new ending to the iconic children's story. The wolf sees the three pigs in the ad and threatens to blow their house down. Automatically, the viewer assumes they are hiding an exclusive box of Weetabix to themselves. The wolf successfully blows the first house down and moves on to the second. He blows the second house down with greater ease than the first, but all the pigs have now run into a brick house, and the wolf is still without cereal. In a twist of events, the wolf pulls out his very own box of Weetabix from his pouch. He swiftly blows down the third brick house after ingesting the nutrients from the cereal.
