Favorite breakfast cereal

Sure do. I loved all 4 of those cereals as a kid. As an adult, eh, not so much.

Hahaha, MG71 to the rescue!!
Betcha those "Monster Playmates" figurines advertised on the box are probably worth a fortune now. Hell, the box itself is probably a collector's item to somebody.

That still exists, it's just called something different now. Kablam or something. Frightening clown on teh box.

Boo Berry

Do they still make that? I've seen Count Chocula and Frank N Berry, but I don't recall seeing Boo Berry on the shelves anymore.

Does anyone remember the short lived fourth member of the Monster Cereal family, "Fruit Brute?"

Nope

I was too young to have eaten Fruit Brute, but yes, Booberry is still around. Count Chocula is everywhere, but the Berry Monsters are usually tougher to find. Though *usually* if you see one, you'll see the other. Wal-Mart carries them both.

Let us not forget Fruit Brute's late 80s replacement...

Yeah, this is pretty much the same as Brute & Mummy. Though I've never seen it in any stores outside of the 80s but it's still being sold SOMEWHERE.

I must've missed out on Yummy Mummy.

How bout some of the grand old cartoon-show-spinoff cereals of yore? I remember buying "The Real Ghostbusters" cereal once back in the 80s. It actually turned the milk GREEN!! Nasty lookin but oooohhhh so tasty...

I also remember a "Pac-Man" cereal which my video-game-hatin' Mom refused to buy for me back in the day.

I remember the Star Wars C-3PO cereal. It tasted like regular Cap'n Crunch if I remember correctly and was shaped like 2 cheerios fused together. What that shape had to do with Star Wars is anyone's guess.

Perhaps these will refresh your memory!

Nice job. I'm pretty sure I've sample almost all of those cereals listed at some point during my youth. MMMMMMmmmmmmm Dinky Donuts!

Awesome blog work there Metal Misfit! I thought I was the only one who remembered OJ's!! My brother and I used to crack up at the commercials for this stuff. It showed the cartoon cowboy "herding" a bunch of oranges into a corral and he said something like "It's all the Vitamin C in'em that makes these critters so dern frisky" or words to that effect. If memory serves, we got such a sugar rush from this stuff that my Mom had to peel us off the ceiling after we ate it!!

I remember the "Morning Funnies" cereal with the comic strips on the box too. Fun stuff!!

Lucky Charms. I also like Cheerios alot.

I'm curious to know wether or not your poo will be blue. Will you please let me know?

I forget how much they were; my eyes just bugged out when I saw it. I thought the strawberry version was decent but the blueberry was great IMO.

The trifecta of Raisin Bran, Lucky Charms, and Apple Jacks are all still eaten to this day. As a kid I hated cherrios, with a passion. Only Special K would have been worse in my eyes. Today I actually like cherrios.

My mom still laughs about all the bad cereal she ended up eating because my brother and I only wanted it for the prizes inside.

This mini-wheats was a success. Definitely my favorite along with the vanilla kind. Sweet colour.

You know what's kind of an underrated cereal? The Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. Sometimes I think they're better than the Honey Nut cheerios, though I guess it's hard to compare. I know Apple Jacks are sort of the same thing in some ways, but I might even prefer them to those.

Hm, Golden Grams, possibly.

Haven't had those in awhile.

Total Raisin Bran in the morning and a snack cereal at night like Honey Nut Cheerios or Cap'n Crunch
