My only idea was Frito-Lay (Cheetos). I know that orange isn't quite red and cheetahs aren't quite lions, but figured maybe two leaners equaled a ringer.
Anyway, not the first time the Panther sold out. Remember Pink Panther Flakes? The straw that jumped the camel's shark for me was when he started to talk.
