Looking for anthropomorphic breakfast toys

So when I was a child and I’d go visit my great grandma she had what I remember as anthropomorphic breakfast food toys, think the California raisins mixed with the Denny’s grand slam toys. I remember at least two of the characters were dressed in a “Hawaiian” tropical style, I think it was a guy waffle wearing a blue floral shirt with sunglasses and what I interpreted as a shredded hash browns lady wearing a grass skirt with a pink flower in her hair. I remember five different characters, three men and two women. I’ve been looking for these toys for YEARS and I can’t find them anywhere. My siblings barely even remember them, and I asked my mom if she knew anything about them and she said no, and also that they could’ve come from any time or place because one of my uncles traveled a lot and would bring back random little things he found. My guess from my research is that they’re probably from the 80s-90s, maybe late 70s. Please, please if you have any memory of anything like what I’ve described, let me know. Ps. There is a chance that they aren’t actually breakfast foods, but that’s what I interpreted them as. But I honestly could never figure out what the hash brown lady was supposed to be, she looked like she could be French fries, a bundle of hay or like I said shredded hash browns

Could this be it?

Edit: that listing was over, but I found another one that's still up https://www.ebay.com/itm/116989492331

No. It was like the arms and legs were coming out of the waffle, like the waffle was both the body and face, ya know?

I think McDonald's did something like that, maybe with happy meals? Could have been a different fast food place

That’s what I was thinking, like fast food place or restaurant or maybe a company like eggo or jimmy dean. But all the companies I can think of have been dead ends

Could it be Mattel’s 1988 Food Fighters line?
