- They're so yummy!
- Don't you want a flavor on your cereal?
Come on.
♪ (French accordion music) ♪
- (FBE) We're gonna try some retro cereals today.
- Cereal. Yay, I like cereal!
- Oh my goodness. Thank you.
Cereal? I have cereal three times a day.
- Cereals. I didn't have that much
breakfast today.
- I feel excited and nervous at the same time.
I feel like it would be expired.
- (FBE) So, a lot of these cereals were discontinued
and then brought back due to their popularity.
- Okay. I don't think I know
any cereals from back then, so we'll see about these.
- They're not gonna be as sweet as the ones we have now.
- My mom used to talk about old cereals and stuff.
I think it'll be cool to see old cereals and what
they taste like and stuff and their names, too.
- Trix might be a retro cereal. I can envision it being
in the '80s, 'cause it's all colorful and the '80s
was colorful.
- I'm so happy. I love Kids Vs Food episodes.
I love trying things. I mean, I'm a foodie.
- (FBE) Here's your first cereal. - Frosted--
wait, what? Wait, are these Corn Flakes?
- They look like Frosted Flakes.
- It looks like Frosted Flakes, but a little more orange
and without the sugar on it.
- These are good. They are corn,
but they're puffier than Corn Flakes.
I feel like they were the predecessor to Corn Flakes.
- I think it's pretty good. I actually kinda like it.
- I like it. Teeny bit sweet,
but mostly plain.
- It's kinda sweet, yeah. It's nice and crunchy.
Taste stays in your mouth for a while.
- I feel like I've had this before.
I don't know why, 'cause it looks so familiar
and it tastes familiar.
- (FBE) This is Quisp. Quisp was originally made
in the '60s and then it stopped being made some time
in the late '70s. However, in 2012,
it was brought back. - Oh my God,
that is so long ago!
- I don't know why they discontinued it.
It's so good. Maybe another good cereal
came out that's better than this.
- I'm not expecting this to become a major corporation,
but it's pretty cool, like a blast from the past.
- (FBE) Here's your next one. - This looks like Rice Krispies.
- These look like the Rice Krispies cereal.
It smells like it, too. I can smell it.
- Let's see how they taste.
It's pretty good. Tastes like a marshmallow.
- Whoa. The first bite is like, whoa.
- Mm, it's good. I like how sweet it is.
It kinda tastes like Rice Krispies,
'cause it's like marshmallow.
- Rice Krispies, as much as I like it,
it doesn't taste super ricey and it's a little bit dull.
This is so much better, by a million times.
It's more hard and just more interesting.
- I would like the Rice Krispie Treats better than this,
but it's yummy. I like it.
- (FBE) So, this is Rice Krispie Treats cereal.
It was made in 1993 and then disappeared in the 2000's.
However, you can still find it on Amazon and some Walmarts.
- Hm, okay. Taste is good.
I'd suggest it to all the viewers out there.
- I just had a Rice Krispie Treat before I came here.
It tastes exactly like this.
- (FBE) Here's another. - This looks like pieces of bread.
- The cereal kind of looks like tiny little pieces of toast.
- It's cute. Mini toast.
- It smells like French toast.
- I don't really like how big they are.
- They taste like French toast. They're delicious.
- Cinnamon, yum. I love how they're like
mini toast. They're so adorable.
- Tastes like gingerbread. It's very delicious.
- It does feel like French toast, because it's softer in the middle
and it feels crusty on the side. So far, these are all
really good cereals.
- (FBE) So, this is French Toast Crunch.
It was made in 1995 and it's flavored to taste
like French toast. - So, this came before
Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Copiers.
- They did an amazing job making it taste like French toast.
- This one is my favorite so far because right when you get cereal,
you normally smell it. This is a good smell
and I like the cereal a lot.
- (FBE) So, here is another. - Okay.
Looks kinda like tiny, little tractor wheels.
- It looks like the first one, but in a different shape.
A star with a hole in it?
- Ugh, nah. First thing,
there's no flavor. Don't you want a flavor
in your cereal? Come on.
- Mm-mm, I don't like it. It tastes like the first one,
but with nothing-- no flavor.
- I think this might just be the best one.
It's the least sweet. All the other ones,
I can tell there was sugar. They felt like sweet corn
or sweet rice, but this one,
it really is kinda more bitterish.
- I like them, but I kinda don't like them.
They're plain. They don't have that much
flavor to them.
- I don't really like it. It's too plain.
There's no sugar in it.
- (FBE) So, this is King Vitaman.
It first hit the market way back in 1968.
- Wow, that's-- this cereal's pretty old.
- I don't think I would have it for breakfast with milk.
I feel like it would be better without milk.
- I think the name kind of doesn't sound--
you said "Vitaman?" It sounds like vitamins,
so most kids probably didn't wanna get it
'cause of the name.
- (FBE) Here you go. - It smells like syrup.
- It smells like pancakes with syrup.
- They look like waffles.
- Let's try it.
It's really crunchy.
- I don't really get the taste. It's kinda sweet and plain.
- It's good, but it kinda takes a while
for the flavor to kick in.
- I can taste syrup and waffle in this.
These are good.
- It has that awesome cinnamon flavor.
It's like flavor blasted, flavor popping in my mouth.
I love it.
- (FBE) So, this was Waffle Crisp.
Waffle Crisp was made in 1996.
It is maple flavored corn cereal bits
in a waffle shape. - Yeah.
I can definitely taste the syrup.
- Now I taste the maple syrup. It's weird because
I had pancakes this morning. I'm like, this tastes
like I just had it.
- And now this is making me hungry for my dad's waffles.
They're so yummy!
- (FBE) So overall, how did you feel about
all this cereal? - Gave me lots of energy
and I loved it.
- It was really fun. There was a lot of cereals.
Now I'm gonna feel like I ate breakfast just now.
- I would probably buy a lot of them
and I would probably tell my friends or something
to get them.
- I love them. I wanna eat them all again.
They were so yummy.
