won auction of something I always wanted as a kid "Major Moonstone watch"

[RobTMego]

For the younger people a bit of history:

Ralston marketed this cereal with the story that it was mined from the lunar surface by a regiment of magical beings called Moonbeams. Their commandant, Major Moon, led the work camp while obsessing over the moral decay their shiftless neighbors, the Moonbums, were attempting to introduce. Despite being a tasty, Cold War mix of fruit and fascism, Moonstones were discontinued after only a year in 1976

That's what that is. I've had one of those for years. Not sure where I got it from or where it's even at currently. Going to have to look for it first chance I get.

Do you remember what the cereal tasted like?

Moonstones! I loved Moonstones as a kid! I do remember ordering a Major Moon t-shirt that never came, though. but the cereal was great. It kinda tasted like Froot Loops.

I absolutely remember getting these as a kid. I think I thought they were just OK, which is odd. I never met a sweetened cereal I didn't love! I think the characters looked a little old school to me.

Congrats on the watch. Cereal premiums can sometimes be the toughest things to find.

My fav cereal as a kid was Freakies, moonstones, sir grapefellow, Baron von redberry, kabooms, all the monsters cereals

I found mine this morning while looking for another toy. It was all wrapped up in bubble wrap. Nice looking piece, doesn't look like it's ever been worn. Thanks for the post, now I know where it's from.

I had the Moonstones rubber band cars and magnets. They kind of filled the void after Ralston stopped making Freakies.
