Recruiting….

Count chocula was the best. And after I finished the cereal, the milk had turned chocolate to drink up.

Boo berry and Franken Berry were also good

 

[whejoe]

Worst cereals were Corn Pops, Kix, and Grape-Nuts…

Saturday mornings in the summer were the best. After a few hours of cartoons, I’d watch the Baseball Bunch with Johnny Bench and Tommy Lasorda as the Dugout Wizard, and I’d wrap up my Saturday morning by watching This Week in Baseball.

Agreed. Kix had the greatest marketing/ad campaign of all time though. Made their cereal look so good. But alas, they were absolutely horrific. Not quite sure what little sociopathic gobblins they had taste test that crap.

Cinnamon Life, Smurf Berry Crunch, and Honey Nut Cheerios deserve a mention

Of course, the best commercial for cereal was for the original "Crispy Critters"

I'm such a basic btch. Mount Rushmore of Cereal below.

1. Captain Crunch All Berries
argue with ya momma, not me, cuz this is the GOAT and it's not close

Regular Cap'n Crunch is so much better without the Crunch Berries. I can't imagine eating just a bowl of the berries

And another worse was those corn puffs things. Sugar didn't even help.

Actually the ones from the 60's. Sheldon Leonard was the voice of Linus

 

[namenoonechose]

You couldn't pay me to eat cereal now, but when I was a kid, I was a fan of Count Chocula.
I'm not sure if they even make it anymore.

They do. Walmart has a whole display with Count Chocula and Frankenberry set up that other day I was in there

Can Captain Crunch make 165lbs?

Yeah. I rolled with the Count for years. I was also Team Quisp and not Quake.

 

[Babbahganoosh]

Anyone remember the other three that went with Count Chocula, Frankenstein Berry and no Berry (Frute Brute, Yummy Mummy and Carmella Creeper)
I couldn’t find a picture of Carmela Creeper

 

[Babbahganoosh]

Found one…

 

[sdvike]

Never heard of Quisp. Interestingly though, I have to Google more stuff here in the cesspool then any other place.

 

[FanInBlack]

my grandparents always had those little boxes of cereal. lol. if I got stuck with Rice Crispies or regular Corn Flakes I added about a cup of sugar. It would alway sink to the bottom and make a milk and sugar slushie.

Are you me? Because that was breakfast at Grandma's every time I was there

 

[Mattski]

Regular Cap'n Crunch is so much better

Aka mouth rape

The game changed when they put these out...

Oops - It was totally a mistake

Someone mentioned Quisp - great paired with watching the Jetsons. Got you in the personal spacecraft frame of mind

The one and only cereal that comes in the shape of animals?

 

[azchief32]

Reading some of the cereals, you all were some rich mofos.

 

[Rick Honcho]

Reading some of the cereals, you all were some rich mofos.

Oatmeal, cream of wheat and stale Cheerios during the week. The boxed sugar only occasionally as a treat on Saturday mornings

Im right there with you, Chief. CocoRoos and Apple Zings were staples of my youth.

Damn I can honestly say I have never heard of those. How many times did you run away

Can't believe Frosted Flakes hasn't gotten more love

Hey. I listed them #3 all time.

You poor man (i guess, literally)

My mom tried that one time. Big bags of off-brand cereals. Super cheap, bigger quantity. They were disgusting. One of the very few times in my life I can actually remember winning an argument, and my mom never bought them again.

Hey we can't all be a well off Iowa wrestling Letterman like yourself. There were some hidden gems in those 5 pound bags.

Whoa, whoa. We weren't well off. But choices were made. So while i didn't get all the cereal I wanted, the amount I did get was quality.

My parents bought groceries once a month. When you were out of "your" stuff, you were out. You learned how to ration.

My parents bought groceries once a month - I'm calling B.S.

Oh dear god. Shut up.

Military parents. One big commissary trip a month. I had to go, or they wouldn't purchase the snacks I wanted.

They’re in Walmarts during Halloween.

Thats what I was thinking!! I didn’t get to eat any of that stuff until I joined the Army and made some real money ($551 per month before taxes). LOL! I thought I had struck it rich!!

 

[Wrestleknownothing]

Speaking of budget buys - any cube steak eaters out there? The first year or two of marriage that was a staple.

C'mon, you're honesty gonna say no Boo Berry? Not buying it
