Breakfast Cereals.......

Cool article on breakfast cereals no longer with us:

I don't remember a lot of those but I do especially remember Crispy Critters and Freakies.

One missing from that list is Quake, a companion cereal to Quisp. Quisp and Quake used to argue over who's cereal was better.

More stuff to make me feel old.

New Kids on the Block cereal

I remember quite a few of these. "OJ's" (orange juice flavored cereal) was just freakin' nasty. I can see why that one didn't catch on. I also remember the "Sunday Funnies" cereal with the comic strips on the back of the box.

I tried that "Real Ghostbusters" cereal once ... if memory serves it turned the milk purple. Barf.

wow - I never knew some of those existed. I can see the warning on the NKOTB cereal: WARNING - This cereal may cause the voice to crack

The ice cream cones cereal and S'mores crunch were the bomb!!!

I always wanted the Pac Man cereal but my parents wouldn't buy it for me as well as several others. I was allowed to get Honey Nut Cherios but I ate so much of that, that til this very day I won't even think abouy getting that.

i remember almost all of those.

I remember some of those, but I'm such a hopeless Cap'n Crunch addict I never cared to try them.

good thing they will never retire honey nut cheerios!!

Same here. My wife buys that yuck when she wants me to stay out of the cereal.

My mom got a lot of different kinds of cereals, minus the sugar ones which is why I am not all that familiar with this list.

I remember alot of those. Honey Nut Cheerios will always be my favorite.

S'Mores Crunch, Rocky Road, and Strawberry Honey Combs were all favorites of mine. I also would love anything that worked off the Lucky Charms formula of oats and marshmellows. Still am a big cereal person - though my favorite these days is simple Cheerios. They were so dreaded/hated as a child, now they're for breakfast every morning.

Berry Berry Kix is the only one that I recognize. I eat a lot of Reeses Puffs when I'm away at school.

I've still got all 4 Ninja Turtle bowls they gave away with the cereal.

Good memories with alot of those. Cereal used to be awesome.

Interesting. Not the content, but that anyone with an internet connection thinks their opinion deserves to be heard.

I just picked up some Quisp about a week ago.

I remember most of those too. Good stuff. I love cereal.

Speaking of............

We were grocery shopping and we're down the cereal aisle. What does my wife do? She picks up a box of Honey Nut Cheerios and says, "I'll get this. I know that you'll stay out of it."
