80's cereals

Ralston was always the bottom of the barrel when it came to cereal companies...they'd ***** out any licensed cereal just to get some shelf space...

Hmmm...learned a new filtered word Carry on...

I only know about the Donkey Kong Jr. cereal because of the mail-in Pez they had for it.

Smurf Berry Crunch was the best cereal of all time! Wish they would bring it back.

I loved the Freakies figures and the whole backstory on the box but the cereal not so much

[megocrazy]

Does anybody else remember the kick*ss plastic freakies toys you'd get as the freebie in this cereal?!

I just redid my Mom's house and pulled 2 or 3 Freakies magnets off the fridge we threw out. That fridge lasted a while. I also have a couple of the plastic figures and an air car. They have balloon boats too. I'll finish them eventually.

Hmmmm....

My insides tighten every time I see a C3P0 box. That stuff was noxious!

My favourite 80's cereal was one of them supposedly healthy ones.... *something* Crunch, but I can't remember the first part. They were little "o"s, with almonds and nuts, possibly comprised of dark matter since each one weighed half a pound.

I actually remember the taste of a lot of this stuff. If I remember correctly, Batman and Mr.T were basically the same as Captain Crunch. ET, which I had ONCE when I was 2 tasted like peanut butter I think.

Had Ghostbusters, I know that. The Nintendo cereal was good.

Makes sense, given the Reese's Pieces connection.

Due to my age, plus me not being a big cereal fan once I entered my teens, I never tried any one of those cereals. I was aware of their existence yes, but I had no desire to try any of those. Still don't!

>were they kinda like this but much much better?

Yeah, they were darker too.

Don't forget Ice Cream Cones Cereal with mascot Ice Cream Jones. A very short lived cereal of 1987 with a cathcy jingle:

The one I remember was from the 70's. Really just cocoa puffs but the gimmick was they would coat the pieces in drink mix (Like Quik) so th emilk would get extra flavor.

Crazy Cow was an interesting mascot. By its very nature, the character should be female, but the voice and clothes made it look like a male.

I remember that ice pop maker. The handle was too weak to hold the pop on. And any chocolate cereal you get is gonna turn the milk chocolaty.
