Contains spoilers for 'Unfrosted'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Unfrosted' is streaming on Netflix from May 3, 2024, and it tells the story of a corporate battle that ensues between Post and Kellogg's as they try to make a new breakfast product. The film stars Jerry Seinfeld, Amy Schumer, Hugh Grant, Jim Gaffigan, and Melissa McCarthy in the lead roles. 

Directed by Jerry Seinfeld, the film ebbs and flows comically as Post, owned by Marjorie Post (Amy Schumer), and Kellogg's, owned by Edsel Kellogg III (Jim Gaffigan), try to one-up each other in the race to make a new form of pastry breakfast. 

As the film progresses, both parties play political and corporate games to win the race against time and get the product out in the market. So, what happens at the end of the movie? Who wins the corporate battle? Here we explain the ending of 'Unfrosted'.

Thurl Ravenscroft (Hugh Grant) plays the mascot for Kellogg's. He gets the other mascot together and protests against the product and wants to stop it from getting approval. 

They storm the Kellogg's office and begin to create a ruckus. Bob Cabana and the heads of Kellogg's literally hold the FDA commissioner's hand and get approval from the FDA in a comical scene. 

Thurl Ravenscroft abandons the protest after Donna Stankowski (Melissa McCarthy) holds the approval to his face. The protest becomes meaningless now that the approval is given.

Kellogg's and Post both put their products out on the market at the same time. Kellogg's names the product Pop-Tart and Post names it Country Square. 

Children get attracted to the name Pop-Tart and fling to the shelves as Kellogg's becomes the undisputed winner of this competition. The product becomes a favorite for the kids and changes the fortunes of the company. 

At the end of the film, the two companies are shown to be fighting another battle over a new product which shows the competitive nature of capitalism.

Andy Warhol who was the face of the Pop Art movement in the 1960s apparently takes offence to the name Pop Tart and comes to a talk show to shoot Bob Cabana. 

Bob however comically survives as the packaging foil stops the bullet. The film ends on a comical note as Bob is shown to be telling the story of Pop-Tart to George (Isaac Bae).
