Mi Pan / Miel Pops

About

Mi Pan / Miel Pops is a 2010 jingle for the Russian Kellogs' cereal Honey Pops or Miel Pops. Though the jingle has been remixed online since February 2020, one remix, in particular, became popular on TikTok in July 2020, due to confusion surrounding the song's meaning and origin. Many Spanish-speaking TikTokers believed the song to be about bread and while others equated the song to a dancing llama.
