What is the metaphor of the hungry tiger?

There is an unfortunate reality in life, sometimes you don’t feel good. This is not “news” to anyone reading this, you may even be having a bad day right now! In these moments, do you have the impulse to use a substance to change how you feel? Or engage in some other distracting behavior in order to change how you feel? Do you think you can’t handle a bad day? What if there is a benefit to allowing yourself to experience those bad feelings without working to make them go away? That last sentence may sound like heresy”Why would I just experience something bad if I can make it go away?” While on the surface this approach can seem reasonable, but for many people turning to distractions or things that numb/alter negative experiences are at the crux of the problem Sometimes, you can’t “make” the bad feelings or the difficult situation change or go away.

  • Sometimes you just need to manage the difficult task of tolerating the difficult moment or feeling.
  • Unfortunately, when you consistently move to distract or numb, you don’t build up strategies or skills to help get through those moments in a way that can increase the odds of a positive outcome.
  • There’s a perfect metaphor for understanding what happens when you don’t try to tolerate bad feelings or situations.

Imagine a baby tiger in your kitchen. Although the tiger is just a baby, he is scary enough, and you think he might bite you. So you go to the fridge to get some meat for him so he won’t eat you. And, sure enough, throwing him some meat shuts him up while he’s eating the meat, and he leaves you alone for a while (and you get to be less anxious or worried).

  1. But he also grows just a little bigger.
  2. So, the next time he’s hungry, he’s just a little bigger and more scary, and you go to the fridge to throw him some more meat.
  3. Again, you feed him to keep him at bay.
  4. The problem is that the more you feed him, the bigger he gets, and the more frightened you feel.

Now eventually that little tiger is a big tiger, and he scares you more than ever. So you keep going back to the fridge to get more meat, feeding and feeding him, and hoping that one day he will leave you alone. Yet the tiger doesn’t leave – he just gets louder and more scary and hungry.

  • Adapted from Eifert, G.H.
  • Forsyth J.P. (2005).
  • Acceptance & Commitment Therapy for Anxiety Disorders ) In this metaphor, the tiger represents a bad feeling you might be having (e.g., sadness, loneliness, worry, anger).
  • The feeling might be uncomfortable and maybe even a scary.
  • You may be wondering, “why am I feeling this way, how can I make it go away (i.e., hey tiger, how did you get in my kitchen?!?!) or “I really don’t want you here.” When you use substances or engage in a behavior (like eating) to make the feeling go away, it’s the same as throwing the tiger some meat.

The feeling goes away for a bit. When you throw the tiger a steak, he goes to his corner to eat and maybe for a moment looks a little less fierce and scary. The problem? Just as in the metaphor, if you keep avoiding the “tiger in the room” by feeding him, he will just get bigger, scarier, and harder to deal with.

  1. This is likely true for any emotion you are trying to avoid or numbit’s probably only going to get bigger and scarier.
  2. In order to move forward and build a life that you really want to live, it’s important to work on tolerating negative feelings and situations.
  3. These can include difficult situations at work or with family members and the anxiety about telling someone that you don’t want to do something (or that you would like them to do something different).

By tolerating your negative feelings and using skills to handle cravings and urges to use substances, you can prevent yourself from returning to avoidance or numbing behaviors (using is simply throwing that craving tiger a big old steak!). For help on skills you can use to help you start to tolerate, read ” Skills to deal with Anxiety, Distress and Cravings and I’m Freaking Out,

Now What? “, which outlines several specific skills you can start to use. One important caveat, if there is something that you can do to change the situation, it’s important that you use your skills to do that. Using skills is different from just leaving or avoiding your feelings and emotions (which is akin to throwing the tiger a steak).

While you might simply have to tolerate how you are feeling, refusing to feed the tiger (which keeps him smaller and less scarey) and using skills to change the situation (moving the tiger out of your kitchen, for example) can help you stay true to your goals.

What is a famous tiger quote?

‘ Don’t be a tiger’s head with a snake’s tail.’ ‘There is no off switch on a tiger.’ ‘A tiger never returns to his prey he did not finish off.’ ‘A man’s good name is as precious to him as its skin is to a tiger.’

Why is it called 8 10 cats?

‘Genuinely hilarious’ – A statement from his agent Off The Kerb Productions said: “It is with great sadness that we have to announce the death of Sean Lock. He died at home from cancer, surrounded by his family. “Sean was one of Britain’s finest comedians, his boundless creativity, lightning wit and the absurdist brilliance of his work, marked him out as a unique voice in British comedy.

“Sean was also a cherished husband and father to three children. Sean will be sorely missed by all that knew him. We kindly request that the privacy of his family and children is respected at this difficult time.” This Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser.

View original content on Twitter The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites. Following the announcement author, TV producer and Pointless star Richard Osman tweeted: “Over 15 years producing 8 Out Of 10 Cats, Sean Lock made me laugh so much and so often.

A unique and brilliant comic voice. Love to his family and his many friends.” “Sad news about Sean Lock,” added stand-up comedian and QI panellist Alan Davies. “Funny on stage, hilarious off.” Comedian and actor Ricky Gervais added: “Such sad news. RIP the great Sean Lock. One of the funniest, most influential comedians of a generation.

A lovely man.” Lee Mack, fellow comedian and a close friend of Lock’s, described the news of his death as “heartbreaking”, adding in a statement: “A true original both in comedy and life. I will miss him so much.” Comedy writer Laura Claxton said: “No one did it like Sean.

  • I got to work with him over the years and seeing his ad libs, improvisation and wit play out first hand like it was the most natural, fluid thing in the world never ceased to astound me.
  • A truly hilarious, talented, humble and impressive man.
  • What a loss.” Channel 4 announced it will pay tribute to the comedian Sean Lock with special programming on Thursday night.

The network will air the comedian’s stand-up special, Sean Lock: Keep It Light, followed by a classic episode of 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown, in Lock’s memory. Born in Chertsey, Surrey, Lock left school in the early 1980s and began working on building sites but developed skin cancer, which he blamed on over-exposure to the sun.

He recovered and decided to focus on a career in comedy. Early in his TV career, Lock appeared on the 1993 series Newman and Baddiel in Pieces, alongside fellow comics Rob Newman and David Baddiel. On Wednesday, Baddiel said: “He made all these characters effortlessly funnier than we had written them.

He went on to perform with us on our last tour in 1993, the one that ended in Wembley Arena, and I have great – and very funny – memories of sharing a stage, and a dressing room, with him from that time. “He was a supremely talented comedian – and a friend I remember with great fondness.” Lock co-wrote the screenplay for the 2001 feature film This Filthy Earth alongside director Andrew Kötting, which was adapted from the 1887 novel La Terre by Émile Zola.

  1. Lock was named best live comic at the British Comedy Award in 2000 and has also previously been nominated for the prestigious Perrier Comedy Award.
  2. In 2006, he presented and produced the Channel 4 series TV Heaven, Telly Hell, in which guests would discuss their likes and dislikes in television.
  3. Guests on the show included Alan Davies, Johnny Vaughan, David Mitchell, Bill Bailey, Johnny Vegas and Nick Hancock.

Image caption, QI panellist Alan Davies (right) said Sean Lock was “funny on stage, hilarious off” Lock also appeared at Channel 4’s Comedy Gala and co-hosted the Big Fat Quiz of the Year with James Corden in 2008. He wrote and starred in the popular BBC sitcom 15 Storeys High.

The show was set in a tower block and centred on a pessimistic character called Vince (played by Lock) and his flatmate Errol, played by Benedict Wong. But Lock was best known as a team captain on 8 Out of 10 Cats, the comedy panel show hosted by Jimmy Carr. The show saw panellists answer questions based on statistics and opinion polls.

The show’s title is a reference to famous misquoting of an old advertising strapline for Whiskas cat food, which claimed that “8 out of 10 owners said their cats prefer it”. He appeared on the first 18 series, opposite team captains including Jason Manford and Jon Richardson.

  • Lock exited the show in 2016 and was replaced by Rob Beckett at the beginning of series 19.
  • He and Richardson also appeared on the spin-off series 8 Out of 10 Cats does Countdown.
  • I wish I had the words to describe the exceptional man that was Sean Lock.
  • But today I don’t, and I think he might have liked it that way,” tweeted Susie Dent, who features in Countdown’s dictionary corner.

Harry Hill, former host of TV Burp and commentator of You’ve Been Framed, paid tribute to Lock in an article published in The Guardian.

  • At his best, Sean reminded us all what we loved about a great gag and why we got into comedy in the first place.
  • That’s why he was so often called “the comedian’s comedian”, Hill said.
  • He took his illness in typically dry style.
  • I heard he was in a hospice for a bit of a rest.

  • ‘Wow!’ I said.

She said on Twitter: “Just awful to hear the news about Sean Lock, I was lucky enough to watch his genius comedy up close when appearing on 8/10 Cats a good few times.

Love and light to all of his family and friends.” Former QI host Stephen Fry said: “I think it safe to say that the best episodes of QI that I was involved with were always the ones where Sean Lock was a guest. Such complete brilliance in every comic direction.

What a loss. My heart goes out to his family.” John Bishop tweeted: “I am shocked and saddened at the news of the loss of Sean Lock. He was a brilliant comedian but more importantly he was a great person on so many levels, He will be missed hugely.” Kevin Bridges described Lock as “brilliant comedian, obviously, but just a genuinely hilarious guy too and one of the soundest guys in comedy,” while Diane Morgan added: “He was one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.15 Stories High was was absolute genius.

Is there a message in the tiger who came to tea?

Author Judith Kerr is famous for her children’s books, but behind the sweetness of works such as The Tiger Who Came To Tea lies a past set against the horror of Nazi Germany. “Once there was a little girl called Sophie, and she was having tea with her mummy in the kitchen.

Suddenly there was a ring at the door. Sophie’s mummy said, ‘I wonder who that could be?'” For many parents, the opening lines of The Tiger Who Came to Tea are very familiar. The work, published in 1968, has been read by several generations and tells the story of a tiger who invites himself to tea and eats and drinks all the food and water in Sophie’s house.

He then leaves, never to return. “It was just a bedtime story I made up for my daughter when she was two, getting on for three,” says Kerr, who also wrote and illustrated the Mog series of picture books. “I knew it by heart, every word. It hadn’t changed because you watch your child’s face and obviously you leave out bits gradually if they look bored.

“I told it to her again and again and again, and she used to say, ‘Talk the tiger’.” Kerr, who turned 90 this year, loved visiting the zoo with her daughter Tacy, and particularly liked looking at the “beautiful” tigers. “When I decided to do the book, I remember wondering what the tiger should look like, whether he should have clothes.” Kerr grew up in a loving family in pre-World War Two Berlin.

Her mother Julia was a composer and her father, Alfred Kerr, a Jewish intellectual and theatre critic. They realised the impending threat from Hitler and Nazi Germany, and publicly criticised the regime. “These Jewish intellectuals like Alfred Kerr, they immediately understood that this was an attack on the whole humanity, not only on themselves,” says German theatre critic Peter von Becker.

“They were, in a way, followers of the great poet Heinrich Heine who said, ‘When there are books to be burned, human beings will be burned afterwards’, and of course Alfred Kerr’s books were burned in 1933 in the Opernplatz, which Goebbels directed.” By 1932 Alfred Kerr was on a Nazi death list and time was running out for the family.

“He’d been warned by somebody he’d never met, a policeman, that they were trying to take his passport away. Image caption, Books written by authors that did not conform to Nazi ideology were burned in the Opernplatz, Berlin in 1933 “I couldn’t understand where he’d gone overnight.

  • He wanted us all out of Germany before the elections because he thought they’d hang on to us to get him back,” says Judith Kerr.
  • Alfred Kerr had left for Prague.
  • His wife and their two children, Michael and Judith, fled the family home soon after, on the same day Hitler took power in 1933.
  • Image caption, Julia, Alfred, Michael and Judith Kerr c1926 They were to meet their father in Zurich, but aged just nine at the time, Kerr did not understand how secret their escape was meant to be.

“My mother said, ‘When we get to the frontier and the man comes to look at our passports, I want both of you to be absolutely silent. You’re not to say a word’. “So when we got to the frontier, a man came and looked at all the passports. As he went out, I was going to say, ‘There you are, nothing’s happened’ and my mother just gave me a terrible look and so I stopped.

  1. I think now what I might have done to my family,” says Kerr.
  2. With the family reunited in Switzerland, they became refugees with little money and travelled first to Paris.
  3. After being refused entry to America, they journeyed to London in 1936, where they lived throughout the Blitz.
  4. We got bombed out, it was a hard time, but it wasn’t easy for anybody.

I was hugely struck by the generosity and kindness and tolerance of people during the war. “My parents still spoke with a German accent. But there we were in the Blitz, people being killed every night, and nobody ever said anything nasty to them. I couldn’t wait after the war to become British and belong here.” Media caption, Judith Kerr revisits the childhood home in Berlin she was forced to flee with her family In 1940, with the Germans advancing into Dunkirk, Kerr’s family feared the worst and were preparing for a Nazi invasion.

My father would have had very special treatment by the Nazis, so a doctor friend of ours gave them suicide pills, and I said, ‘What about me?’ They said, ‘Well, you speak perfect English, you may be able to survive’.” When the war was finally over, Kerr was awarded a scholarship to the Central School of Arts and Crafts in 1945.

She later married scriptwriter Nigel Kneale and had two children. As soon as they moved into a house with a garden, she immediately bought a cat, something she had always wanted as a child but could not have without a permanent home. The war, however, had a devastating impact on her parents’ lives.

Her father was welcomed back to Germany as a hero in 1948, but on the night he arrived, he suffered a stroke. With the help of his wife, he took his own life. Kerr says she looks back on his life with pride. “I was very lucky to have him and he had a great talent for happiness. It must have been incredibly hard for him and he just found things to enjoy and he loved the world.” She later wrote a semi-autobiographical story called When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit about her experiences of Nazi Germany.

It is now used as a set text in German schools. Fellow children’s author Michael Rosen says metaphorically the tiger in Kerr’s children’s book could be interpreted as a vision from her past – an underlying threat, robbing the family of everything they own and disrupting the comforting routine of a young child’s daily life.

  1. Judith knows about dangerous people who come to your house and take people away.
  2. She was told as a young child that her father could be grabbed at any moment by either the Gestapo or the SS – he was in great danger.
  3. So I don’t know whether Judith did it consciously or not – I wouldn’t want to go there – but the point is he’s a jokey tiger, but he is a tiger,” says Rosen.

Whether or not there are subconscious overtones in The Tiger Who Came to Tea, the book has never been out of print since it was first published. And yet Kerr is modest about whether her work will continue to be a favourite with future generations. “I can’t take it for granted, they may just get bored with it, but it would be wonderful if it lasted.” Images from The Tiger Who Came to Tea courtesy of Judith Kerr/HarperCollins Children’s Books Judith Kerr’s story is told in Imagine.

We’ve just seen the gorgeous celebration of Judith Kerr’s most famous books and we couldn’t resist having another look at one of our favourite stories. Shall I tell you a story? Are you sitting comfortably? Good. Then let’s begin. Sophie is a little girl just about to sit down to tea with her mother when there is a knock at the door.

  1. They wonder who on earth it could be.
  2. Is it the milkman? No, he’s been.
  3. Is it the delivery boy? No, he’s been too.
  4. Is it Daddy? No, it’s too early.
  5. Sophie opens the door.
  6. My word! It’s a tiger, and he’s angling for an invitation to join them for tea.
  7. Of course, Sophie’s mum takes it in her stride.
  8. In comes the tiger.

Sophie thinks he’s great. This tiger is gorgeous. Even I think so. He’s got a lovely, long, curving tail that wraps itself around the table leg, the chair or Sophie’s shoulder. He’s friendly. But he’s greedy too. He eats all the sandwiches. He eats all the buns.

  1. He eats all the cakes.
  2. He drinks all the milk, tea and juice.
  3. Things are beginning to get rather worrying.
  4. And that naughty tiger doesn’t stop there.
  5. He eats Daddy’s tea too; right from the saucepans on the stove.
  6. He eats all the food in the cupboards and downs all the milk from the bottles.
  7. He drinks all the water from the tap.

When everything that can be eaten has gone, he leaves. Just like that. But he does say “thank you for the lovely tea”, so I suppose he’s a polite tiger at least. Sophie and her mother are worried. Sophie can’t have a bath – the water’s all gone. I’ll tell you a secret – I love this part of the story and so do all the many children to whom told it, not least my own.

  1. We’re not quite sure what to think.
  2. No water in the tap at all? Could a tiger really do that? Equally worrying for Sophie and Mummy is that there is no supper for Daddy, either.
  3. What shall they do? Just then, Daddy comes in.
  4. Sophie and her mother tell him all about it.
  5. Never mind,” he says, “we’ll go out for dinner.” And they do, it’s late and, “all the street lamps were lit, and all the cars had their lights on, and they walked down the road to a cafe”.

Oh, it was magic for Sophie, being out past bedtime with her mother and father, all thanks to her visiting tiger. They have supper and Sophie gets ice cream too. In the morning Sophie and her mother go shopping to replace all the food that the greedy tiger ate and they don’t forget to buy a LARGE tin of tiger food in case he should ever call again.

But he never did”. This wonderful picture book, The Tiger Who Came To Tea, comes highly recommended by all at Bookbag Towers. It’s a wee book; it’ll only take you ten minutes or so to read. But, like all the best picture books for young children; the meanings, ideas and references are condensed. There is a lot to talk about.

It’s beautifully illustrated too. Children love animals. They love animals even more when a book permits them to intrude into the human world, especially when it’s in a humorous way, even more especially if the animal is naughty and gets one over on the adults and even more especially still if the adults are also the parents.

However, although the tiger is naughty, and although he causes Sophie’s mother some problems, it all ends happily. Sophie loves the tiger because he’s shown her that her parents are to be relied upon and that they will solve her problems for her. Still better his naughtiness brought her a late night, a trip out and some ice cream.

What more could she ask? The purchase of a large tin of tiger food in case the tiger should return is a bit like tapping the back of wardrobes in search of Narnia I think. What a shame “he never did”. Judith Kerr wrote and illustrated The Tiger Who Came To Tea,

She has that perfect knack of writing in a way that is easy to read aloud. The words are simple, yet strong and rhythmic and the dialogue flows. She makes it marvellously easy for you and wonderfully funny for them. Yes, The Tiger Who Came To Tea is old-fashioned and woefully politically incorrect; it was written thirty years ago.

Yes, it is full of anachronisms – who has a milkman these days, let alone a grocer’s delivery boy? Whose mother bakes buns for tea? Cafes? Surely it should be Happy Meals under McDonald’s Golden Arches (ugh). Daddy saves the day, not Mummy. But it really doesn’t matter.

Did Sean Lock have melanoma?

Sean Lock’s brave skin cancer warning after one-night stand noticed his symptoms Sean Lock first developed skin cancer in 1990, but a one-night stand who noticed his symptoms “saved his life” and bought him another 31 years Sean Lock: Fellow comedians lead tributes

  • Comedian Sean Lock battled cancer in private, 31 years on from his initial diagnosis in 1990.
  • He attributed his condition to his previous career before comedy, working as a labourer.
  • But if it were not for woman named Tina, with whom Sean shared a one-night stand, he might never have realised he had cancer until it was far too late.
  • Aged 18, Sean took his A-levels but decided against heading off to university.
  • Following in his builder father’s footsteps, he found a “dangerous” job stripping concrete panels off buildings, outdoors for sometimes 12 hours a day.
  • But the macho building-site mentality, especially back then, did not account for sun protection.

“You could hardly ask a big Irish foreman, ‘Please could you rub some Ambre Solaire on my back?'” Sean told the, Sean Lock said a one-night stand with a woman named Tina saved his life ( Getty Images) Sean’s melanoma was in the small of his back, and he would not have noticed it himself ( Getty Images) “And we didn’t wear hats, either.

  1. Sean did not even burn in the sun very often, though he worked with men who did and who would never admit to being in absolute agony.
  2. In the 1980s, Sean burst on to the comedy scene, starring on open mic nights and eventually winning the British Comedy Award for Best Live Comic in 1990.
  3. And with reasonable fame and money came perks in the form of ramped-up female attention.
  4. But Sean could never have known how grateful he would end up being for one particular one-night stand.
  5. In his late 20s, he had just emerged from a long-term relationship and was single, which is when he met Tina.
  6. And he believed if he had never met her, he would have lost his life even younger.

“She said there was something weird on my back. I asked her what it looked like and she said it was a patch of skin which was black, misshapen, with a crusty texture and about the size of a 10p piece,” he explained. Sean Lock’s 8 Out Of 10 Cats co-stars have paid tribute to him following his tragic death ( Channel 4) “I had no idea how long it had been there.

  • Because it was in the small of Sean’s back, it was not something he could see looking in a mirror, especially if he was not looking for it.
  • Tina had discovered a malignant melanoma, and it led Sean to seek the opinion of a dermatologist right away – a decision that bought him another 31 years until his sad death.
  • He explained he had the melanoma cut out straight away under local anaesthetic.
  • And he did not take the procedure particularly seriously, sleeping in and arriving late to his follow up appointment.
  • Being so young, Sean said, he felt “invincible”, like nothing could ever harm him.
  • He did not even realise the words “malignant melanoma” meant cancer.
  • But in the following five years, Sean said he heard of an explosion in skin cancer cases, particularly in older people who had moved abroad to warmer climates.

  1. And when a friend of his parents died from cancer, he realised how “lucky” he had been.
  2. “I never saw Tina again, but if I happen to bump into her, the first thing I’ll tell her is that she saved my life,” he admitted.
  3. Sean would go on to make skin protection a priority, ensuring his three children always wore suncream.
  4. With the further 31 years Sean was blessed, he became one of the country’s best comics.
  5. He was a team captain on Jimmy Carr’s Channel 4 comedy panel show 8 Out Of 10 Cats and its spin-off 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown.
  6. Between 2006 and 2007 he hosted Channel 4 series, TV Heaven, Telly Hell, in which he invited celebrities to share their own selection of TV’s triumphs and tragedies.

Jon Richardson’s emotional tribute to Sean Lock on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown leaves viewers in tears Virgin Radio 15 Feb 2022, 11:39 Laugh until you cry or cry until you laugh? We’re doing both. The passing of laughter legend Sean Lock has left a hole in the heart of comedy.

The only time I truly broke down was when I heard Sean died. I couldn’t watch Cats Does Countdown last night. This morning I been in tears from the start and I’m only half way through.

He regularly had me crying with laughter.Just the thought of him saying, ‘Well Jimmy,’ makes me smile.

We were damn lucky to have him.” And: “It was amazing to see him enjoy being there, I can’t imagine how hard that must have been for all of you.

I never knew him and I really miss him.” 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown airs Friday nights on Channel 4.

What does the cereal tiger say?

Trademark controversy – Tony the Tiger began his trademark debut with Kellogg in 1952. The Tiger was used as a cartoon character featured on every box of Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes. The feline was federally registered as Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes trademark.

  1. Furthermore, the registration and classification was under food products.
  2. Twelve years later one of the top oil companies, Esso (now ExxonMobil ), began using a similar tiger as a promotional mascot for gasoline products.
  3. Exxon then followed through with protocol and federally registered its tiger under the petroleum products category.

Unlike the Kellogg slogan behind the voice of Thurl Ravenscroft, “They’re gr-r-reat!”, Esso also had a slogan, “Put a tiger in your tank”. The two major companies shared peaceful relations between the two iconic tigers. From 1952 to 1995, the companies combined spent over a billion and a half dollars in advertising in the cereal and petroleum industries.

Neither company faced any issues with each other—however, in 1992 this all changed. ExxonMobil opened a new business sector and product line through the promotion of the existing Exxon Tiger. The company failed to expand its federal trademark registration to its newest product line sector. Prior to Exxon ‘s newest business addition of opening convenience stores (“Tiger Marts”) and selling foods and beverages, the company was cleared of all trademark litigations.

After the announcement of ExxonMobil ‘s new product line, Kellogg quickly filed a suit. The latest unnamed tiger Exxon was using to sell food and beverages crossed the trademark boundaries. The confusion of using very similar tigers as a mascot for food products did not sit well with Kellogg.

  1. The lawsuit consisted of trademark infringement and dilution, and sought an injunction prohibiting the further use of the Exxon tiger.
  2. After several court appearances, millions of dollars, different rulings, and years of waiting, the two parties settled the case.
  3. Tracing back to 1986, Kellogg battled with a different situation with regard to trademark.

During the preparation of the 1988 Summer Olympics by South Korean organizers agreed on the games’ mascot Hodori that was very similar to Kellogg’s Tony the Tiger. The very popular cereal company had concerns about the similarity and raised some red flags with trademark registration that same year.
