What breakfast cereals do you miss the most?

2. The really sugary ones


If a mom tried to feed her kids something like this today, she'd be locked in prison for a year.

3. Cocoa Frosted Flakes.
That shit right there? Crack. Most addictive food I've ever tasted. I have no idea how this test market didn't propel that to the upper echelons of cereal profit nirvana.

4. which ones are gone? I haven't bought the boxed cereals in years.
I much prefer the cream of wheat, the corn meal and the Red River mixed grains. Man thats good stuff with a bit of brown sugar and cream.. YUM

5. King Vitamin.
Just as good as Cap'n Crunch but healthier.

"Have breakfast with the King!"

7. King Vitaman is still around, but alas, a pale shadow of its former self

I had a bowl of it a couple of years ago, and it was not as great as I remembered.

6. Pretty much all of them when they were still made with sugar instead of corn syrup.
They used to be sweet and crunchy. Now they're like cloying little sponges of death. Especially Honey Comb!! :puke:

11. OMG, I used to love those things when I was a kid!
I'm not a big cereal eater, but I could scarf those things down.

13. CocoKrispies
Chocolate Rice Krispies - I know they're still around but I don't want the extra sugar. I once tried Reese's Puffs or whatever they were hoping for a Reese's flavor but I was disappointed. (Breyer's Reese's Peanut Butter Cup ice cream is kick-ass, BTW.)

Now I stick to a little Kashi GoLean Crunch on my yogurt in the morning or maybe some shredded wheat or raisin bran.

16. You beat me to it!
That was my favorite--they had the best toys in the box.

Still available but rather expensive. But I guess it is imported from another planet after all. ;)

I sold a box on eBay for about $10.

21. I was extremely disappointed with it
It didn't come with nuclear fuel rods, or anything, but rather, it ran on a baking soda mix that made it slowly move up and down. It sucked; an E-ticket amusement toy, it wasn't.

22. I always wanted one of those submarines with real periscope! advertised in the comic books...
but my dad would not let me waste his hard-earned $5 on it.

23. Your Pops was mostly correct, but there were a few cool things out there that were essential
fortunately you can still chase the dream with the help of Archie McPhee:

I'm guessing that it ain't what it used to be, but it is still around.
