What's the first thing you think of when you hear the name Bob Ross?

His TV show and paintings? His hair?? I always remember his unique words of wisdom:

“You need the dark in order to show the light.”

“We don't make mistakes. We just have happy accidents.”

“There's nothing wrong with having a tree as a friend.”

Let's face it, the man was a philosopher. Bob Ross also continues to be a pop culture phenomenon.

Even though the artist and PBS icon icon passed away in 1995, his memory lives on via a multitude of fun products like t-shirts, socks, Funko Pop dolls, chocolate bars, and a "positive energy" drink. The newest addition to the Bob Ross lineup is a crunchy breakfast cereal with marshmallows sold exclusively by FYE (Concord Mills). It sounds like the makings of a happy little breakfast.
