    But not the 4th one, POW! He wasn't around very long however.

    "The trio were used in conservation messages during World War II and briefly re-imagined as superheroes in the early 1990s, but later returned to their original elf-like form. Likewise, there was briefly a fourth gnome in the 1950s named Pow who represented the explosive nutritional value of Rice Krispies."

    stress bugg Yes, expand the "Read More" under my original statement, and I give information from Wikipedia on the 4th guy. 
    Sometimes, that notation that more is below doesn't come up right away. : )
