Freakies Cereal

[misterdroid]

As a kid I LOVED Freakies cereal. Loved it. I have some good friends in a band named after the cereal.MySpace.com - The Freakies - Flint City, Michigan - Punk / Rock / Punk - www.myspace.com/thefreakies

Someday I'll have to go back a collect the Freakies premiums and the Kool-aid Give-away cups to recapture yet more childhood memories.

Hey, I remember those! I think I still have one -- the T-REX. And some of the coins too. wonder where they are......

[Adam West]

That would be it.

I distinctly remember a cereal premium that had the Freakies in cars with a small tube on the back that would cause the car to move forward when you squeezed the tube. Funny that I remember that after 30+ years.

You mean the Balloon Car?

I remember having a Freakies T-Shirt too! I loved it.

Marketing is everything.

Freakies cereal has been brought up before.

Whoever created these must have been brilliant because I remember them as being the most sought after figures.

Wow, seeing this blew my mind. I had the cereal as a kid and more importantly, the toys!

Looks as if it can be found, my friend. However, it looks like a small collection of the figures might wind up going for a decent price when it is all said and done.

Might be worth watching.

Some of the other stuff might go pretty cheap, though.

All matching items for sale.

sweet!! thanx for the info

I remember getting a box of Freakies back in the day,and as I reached in to get the toy I felt more than one! Kept digging and finding more. Excitedly I poured the box out into a mixing bowl and hit the mother load. there were 15 toys in the box!!
That was one exciting breakfest.

Not a great fan of cereals....unless they have good toys ...then I force feed them to my kids so I can complete the set

I wonder how hard are they to find now

Yeah, the toys were pretty cool. I got one from the cereal and traded something for another one. Saw them around school quite a bit initially, but I don't think anyone ate enough of that junk to collect them all!

I never tried it, but I loved the ads. Wasn't there a fruit flavored version too?

*Edit* GrayHank just answered that question. Guess I have to learn to read ALL of the replies before answering myself!

[YoungOnce]

Oh gosh... I remember that. I had the whole set as a kid but I have no idea what happened to them. Can't remember what the cereal tasted like.
