Flirty Girl (Redhead) - Wheaties Cereal mask (1950s) - cutout

This delightful Flirty Girl (Redhead) mask is a vivid piece of 1950s cereal-box history, originally printed on the backside of a Wheaties box. With her bold red curls, playful expression, and classic mid-century style, she reflects the era’s fascination with fun, larger-than-life characters meant to spark kids’ imaginations at the breakfast table.

Masks like this were typically cut out, strung up, and worn until they were destroyed, making surviving examples increasingly scarce today. It stands as both a colorful advertising relic and a playful reminder of the golden age of cereal promotions.
