    Pretty much yeah

    I remember the Smurfberry cereal was particularly good even though it was basically Cap'n Crunch with crunchberries.

      I loved Smurfberry Crunch. And if memory serves, I believe I liked Mr. T cereal a lot too.

        I definitely see an age difference here. I was a sweetened cereal connoisseur during the 70's. Absolutely loved the stuff. By the 80's and 90's, it had pretty much completely dropped from my diet. Most of the stuff on this list is new to me. I think I would have loved Ice Cream Cones! Now from the 70's...

          A lot of my favorites already mentioned, but I also really liked frosted rice with Tony, Jr., too.
          It's all good!

                      ^ the $63 is for a case of twelve boxes, which works out to $5.25 a box. Still kinda expensive. We have a Shop Rite grocery store that every once in a while carries Quisp. I think the last time was a year ago and it was $2.50 a box.
                      It's all good!

                        Kellogg's Concentrate. I remember from pre-school days. I can still remember how it tasted. Little round discs that would sink to the bottom with some sugar sprinkled on them. Delicious and no mascot characters making the sale.

                          From what I could find, they do. I've been looking for it for awhile now, but can't find it where I live. According to the Post site, I can get it at my local Targets, but I've looked to no avail.

                            I just had some Alpha-Bits a while ago. Our Walmarts carry it.

                              Just picked picked up a box today at Target. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough before. I will say though, there were maybe 5 boxes, and other cereals have a dozen or more on the shelves, so it's kinda easy to miss.

                                Pac-Man cereal seemed pretty flavorless to me. I could be misremembering it, but apparently it wasn't so good that I crave it now. I would like to get my hands on some Alpha Bits though. Seems that Target is pretty cereal-centric when it comes to nostalgia. They do a good job of securing exclusive boxes and the like, which is very cool. But yes, the release of Fruit Brute and Yummy Mummy two years ago was quite the big deal, even if it wasn't exactly the original formula.
