where is the pop tart cereal?
Any one else remember “Freakies” cereal? Or am I really dating myself?
Here is some history if you are interested: http://theyalwayscomeback.blogspot.com/2008/01/freakies-cereal.html
You forgot the best cereal of all: Krispy Kritters.
Some of those look pretty *awesome*, but I liked my Boo-Berry!
Boo-Berry is still out… it just comes out around halloween… I had this past year and can not wait for it to be back this year!
Where’s Quisp? For god’s sake, it was the best cereal in the history of cereal. I could sit and kill a whole box of that stuff in an hour. Yes, it turned me into a cereal killer. It was that good.
The minute I saw the article I thought “Quisp”
Just out of curiosity I googled ‘Quisp’, looks like you can still buy it from Quaker. http://quakeroats.elsstore.com/view/search/?search_criteria=Quisp&x=4&y=6
Quisp – absolutely the all time BEST cereal. I too have killed a whole box a few times when I was a kid. 🙂
If you have access to a Woodman’s supermarket (Wisconsin/Illinois) they still sell the stuff…
You can still get quisp. I just ordered some from amazon. Had a couple bowls this morning.
Krusty-o’s are fictional.
actually, they were sold at 7-11 briefly
Wow – I want some.
I cracked a tooth on a marshmallow from the TMNT cereal hahahha
I LOVED Freakies cereal. My brother and sisters (4-6 years old at the time) used to run around the house naked singing “We are the streakies, we are the streakies, we live on streaky street…….”
Loved this…brings back a lot of memories. As kids, we GenXers ate a lot of cereal. Lots and lots of it. I’m surprised most of us still have our permanent teeth and not dentures!
Fond, fond memories of : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 18 and 19.
I think the ET cereal was the only peanut butter cereal I’ve ever eaten. Donkey Kong, Gremlins and C3PO’s were a staple throughout my childhood morning nutrition.
i remember asking my mom for the mr.t cereal and she said no. i told her i pity the fool who won’t buy me that.
Quisp damaged me for life! As a child I loved it and there was a time I was with my Mom at the grocery and we didn’t see it so I thought I would ask for it. I was too young at the time to realize that I spoke with a lisp …………………..I cried all the way home while everyone in the store laughed at my expense.
i remember morning funnies, but no one else i know does. i couldnt remember the name of it, thank you.
what about Fruit Islands Cereal? remember those commercials? “a-yumma-yumma!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkzKFtD11Uw
