Cereal Madness

I was surfing around 'net the other night and found a site that had published a Tribute To Discontinued Cereals. Ah, the memories. Five pages of obsolete cereals - not surprisingly, I had tried quite a few of them in my day (I promise you, though - "Urkelos" and "Rainbow Brite" never found their way into my bowl. Ever.). I love breakfast cereal, and when a new one hits the grocery store, into my cart it goes. As soon as I get home, the Sons of LarryD and I are putting it to the taste test.

As I scrolled through and recalled those former cereals, memories of the commercials that played when I watched Saturday morning cartoons as a kid resurfaced. Who can forget the ads where someone's eating a bowl of cereal, and someone else asks "Whatcha eating?", and they respond: "Nut & Honey." Embarrassing hilarity ensues.



The good ol' days.

Here are just a few of the cereals I have known and eaten...

Yeaaahhhh - the awesome combo of donuts and cereal and chocolate. They had absolutely nothing to do with Cap'n Crunch, but so what. We're talking chocolate donut cereal here.



Even though the milk turned orange and tasted like oranges once you reached the bottom of the bowl, this cereal was Da Bomb at our house - for the whole year or so that it was available.



These originally hit the shelves in the 80's, and made a brief encore appearance in the early 90's. So what if they had sprinkles on them...these were great! Like miniature Christmas cookies. Your RDA of glucose, dextrose and sucrose in one spoonful.

And then there's this one. I don't recall this limited edition version ever making it to the stores, though...


(You didn't think I was going to write an entire post on just cereal, did you?)
