Freakies

[RSS]

If you were a kid in the 70's, you'll probably remember enjoying the sugary delights of Freakies cereal. Actually, the cereal wasn't that great, but the commercials and toy prizes were what got you hooked - or at least that's what happened in my case. Original Freakies' creator Jackie End has revived the characters (if not the cereal) at her website, where you can read bios on each of the Freakies, hear the original theme song, order a video of the 70's television ads, and buy official t-shirts. About the only thing you won't find here is a substitute for that original sugar high, but hearing the Freakies belt out their theme song is close.

Along with the Monster cereals (including Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy) and Quisp, Freakies rule!

Probably my favorite cereal characters besides Quisp. I still have some of the old balloon cars that came as a prize.

Quisp is my all time favorite cereal, but I LOVED the Freakies. I think it tasted a lot like Quisp. Anyhow, I still have all the plastic figures.

We are the Freakies.....

Were they regional ?

I don't ever remember seeing or hearing about them until well into the '90's when they were already "retro"
