3 cereal brands have 327 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 276 of those were running when we read it on October 2, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Cereal advertising talks to two people at once - the kid who picks the box and the parent who pays for it - so the mascot carries the fun and the small print carries the whole grain.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.

| Frosted Flakes | 50 | 29 | 30 |

Meta Ad Library, read October 2, 2026. Library and active counts are Meta’s own. 3 of these cereal brands have enough creative on file for a page of their own.
video leads at 63 percent of the 90 creatives read here, with carousel at 24 percent and static at 12. Shop now carries 80 percent of the calls to action.
The median creative here ran 16 days and the longest was still up at 88. Run length is the closest thing to a public performance signal these libraries publish, because nobody keeps paying to deliver an ad that is not working.
