    What are some you remember as a kid?

    Nerds... Nerds Cereal. Little pellets... The box was split down the middle with red on one side and blue on the other. And they sold a Nerds bowl that had a divider in it that you could take out so they would all mix together if you wanted.


    How about the Chocolate Cow, Strawberry Cow...

    OOOOOO!!!!

    Anyone remember the Wolfman Cereal that was like CountChocula and Frankenberry and BooBerry?

    It was called Fruit Brute or something like that. It had a Werewolf on the box.

    OOOHHHHH!!!

    Check this out!!!

    Scroomptious Croonchy Stars
    This cereal was inspired by the Swedish Chef from the Muppets. It was a puffy,star shaped, cinnamon flavored cereal. The commercial showed the Swedish chef in a kitchen, and a pot exploded and Croonchy Stars flew all over the place. The box was even funnier. It read This product does not contain: (among other things) Venetian Blinds and Pachederms. I kid you not.

    My kids love the Apple Cinnamon Cheerioes, Multi-Grain Cheerios and Alpha-Bits; I hadn't realized that they had been introduced way back in the 80's! Obviously, I never had them then because here I was thinking they were more recent!

    Yeah, what's up with that? That really ticks me off! I already paid enough for the cereal as it is, and then they want me to send them even more money to get the prizes for my kids that they'll play with for one day and forget about the next? No way!

    Kellogs corn flakes with many spoons of sugar is much better than that Sugar Frosted Flakes no matter what that Tiger says. The cereal is OK, but the pool of milky sugar at the bottom of the bowl was the best.

    Grape Nuts (with plain yogurt) is nice. And I liked Special K, probably cause that's what Dad ate.


    (Damn, I feel old. People are "remembering when" stuff from after I started voting.)

    Rice Chex, Wheat Chex & Corn Chex! Rice cripsies stay crisp even in milk!

    Wheatabix, wheaties (breakfast of champions - guess I never ate enuf to have that effect!)

    Can't believe what cereals cost nowadays. The product inside still costs less than 10 cents!

    I wuz so happy when someone invented granola! (I wunder who?)
