Do you have any more information on the contents of the ad, or a more specific timeframe? When we were searching for the lost Got Milk commercial, we came across all kinds of Spongebob food ads - the pineapple cereal, the Cheese Nips, etc. but I don't remember seeing a Cheerios one (though that could be due to the timing differences). What else do you remember?
I remember the bee flied into the pineapple house and SpongeBob did his scream and then the bee took out the cheerios and the ate them together.
Hm...I can confirm that Spongebob did have some sort of sponsorship with Cheerios, as I found this 'Spongebob Squirter' ad from 2012 advertising Spongebob toys alongside a range of cereals. Will keep looking!
Lost media hunts aren't the types of things that typically get resolved that quickly, especially as we have no evidence beyond your testimony that the ad exists 😅 Be patient! Chances are, someone else may know what you're talking about or have a lead.
This probably isn't what you're looking for given the time-frame, but SpongeBob did make a brief appearance in Cheerios' "Good Goes Around" commercial in 2017 at the 0:24 mark: youtu.be/cu0VK3Jh4ac
As someone who watched Nick a lot in 2006, I can't personally recall a Cheerios ad with SpongeBob from that time. I think the person looking for the missing Scene-It DVD pointed out that SpongeBob may have had an exclusive deal with Kellogg's at the time, in theorizing why SpongeBob wasn't included in the Nick Scene-It DVD that came with certain General Mills cereal boxes that year.
I know SpongeBob had his own cereal that came out in 2003, but I think it was discontinued after about a year or so. (I personally loved the cereal and was bummed when we couldn't find it in the store anymore.)
Who knows? Maybe this was one of those scarcely aired ads, as was the case with the Got Milk ad. Good luck with your search!
