booberry Frankenberry and Yummy Mummy the cereal featured lime flavored marshmallows

Reservoir Dogs after being discontinued in 1982 the fruity Yummy Mummy cereal appeared
in its place from 1988 to 1992. but the brute Legacy endured and was consistently requested
by monster Mills fans the cereal made a comeback for Halloween 2013 before disappearing again until
Halloween season 2022 when it was available only in a four pack along with count chocula Boo Berry
and Frankenberry Savor your cereal you monster nerd cereal I don't like to ask a few questions
about this breakfast cereal the brightly colored Tangy candy nerds had its very own cereal for a
Time introduced in 1985 the cereal was described as Tiny Tangy crunchy sweet and cereal and even
came in Split bags of two different flavors much like the candy box itself Heaven sounds
like heaven the cereal came in two flavor combinations orange and Cherry and strawberry
and grape also in the Box were boxes of the candy and the opportunity to send off for a two-sided
nerds Bowl the bowl had a nerd gate so you could have the two flavors in separate compartments or
separate the milk from the cereal and then open the gate to mix them for reasons unknown the
cereal was discontinued after one year never to be seen again and I've never seen again Reptar Crunch
released in 1999 is a tie-in for the Rugrats Go Reptar movie Reptar Crunch was one of the more
limited edition serials on this list the sweet breakfast treat were colored and sweetened Rice
Krispies and consisted of purple crispy rice cereal and green Reptar shaped pieces the thing
that made this cereal so great was a combination of The Branding and the super limited window for
Rugrats fans to get their hands on it Reptar Crunch launched on August 1st 1999 and was
discontinued on September 15th the same year the cereal is gone but Reptar candy can still
sometimes be found packaged in cereal box-shaped tins begging the question why not bring the cereal
back bring it back at once cinnamon mini buns yeah I remember hearing about that Kellogg's
introduced cinnamon mini buns cereal in 1991 with great success with ad campaigns touting the lines
eating 70 cinnamon buns can be nutritious and nutrition news that's easy for your kids to
swallow Kellogg's may have oversold the healthy aspect of the cereal but that didn't stop it
from becoming hugely popular the cereal in its original form only lasted for two years before
being rebranded as mini swirls cinnamon buns cereal while this altered and rebranded version
of the cereal continued until 2009 the original recipe remains a favorite for cereal fans and
frequently ranks highly in lists of cereals that need to be resurrected now resurrect marshmallow
Crispies mmm marshmallow while a simple Twist on the original Rice Krispies the marshmallow crispy
cereal was essentially deconstructed Rice Krispie treats this Kellogg's creation was introduced in
1982 and featured the crispy rice puffs we all know and love alongside marshmallows the Box spoke
directly to the kids saying tell your mom that new marshmallow crispy cereal has less sugar than most
other ready sweetened cereal the marshmall mellow fads soon burned out when consumers turned on the
idea of such a sweet addition to what should be breakfast it's too sweet Hidden Treasures looks
like treasure oh it is to me a literal treasure hunt in a bowl Hidden Treasures was launched by
General Mills in 1993 and turned a morning bowl of cereal into a game of Hide and Seek the sweetened
corn squares were filled with fruity icing that was either grape cherry or orange flavor the trick
was that not every piece was filled hence the hunt hunt me hunt me some buddy it was extremely
short-lived and was discontinued in 1995. it had such a short shelf life that only two commercials
were produced well that was short first time here well what are you waiting for take a quick second
to hit that subscribe button thanks so much sprinkle Spangles all right sprinkle sprinkle
sprinkle sprinkle okay are we done comprising of star-shaped pieces that were covered in brightly
colored sprinkles The Taste was compared to sugar cookies in a bowl the cereal had its own mascot
the sprinkled Genie which was voiced by Dom DeLuise and had the catchphrase you wish it
and sprinkled Genie would appear in front of kids who wished for sprinkles for breakfast sprinkle
Spangles retired in 1998 and despite its divisive popularity people still wish for it to come back
although considering the nutritional value of the sugary Stars it's probably unlikely do you
like it Nickelodeon green slime slime of all the cereals promotional tie-in cereals have the
biggest potential for being crazy Nickelodeon's green slime cereal is no exception released in
2003 as a promotion for the Kids Choice Awards the cereal featured green and orange pieces the
green pieces were supposedly slime-shaped corn Puffs while the orange pieces were marshmallow
approximations of the Nickelodeon logo this year Kellogg's and Nickelodeon collaborated to
produce a similarly themed cereal the limited time Applejacks and green slime Fusion cereal
featured green and orange three grain Loops that turned the milk green and had a Sweet Apple flavor
the green ones taste like apple flavored paint ice cream cones ice cream cone released in 1986
ice cream cone cereal was literally what it sounds like this is exactly like how I imagined it with
tiny ice cream cone-shaped pieces and round ice cream scoop pieces the cereal came in two
flavors vanilla and chocolate chip the pieces actually did fit together to create miniature
ice cream cones the cereal's mascot was ice cream cone Jones who rode his bicycle round giving out
cereal to kids described as tasting similar to Cookie Crisp with the cones tasting just like
ice cream cones the Scoops were deemed too sweet to eat by themselves it was discontinued in just
under a year that was quick banana Frosted Flakes in 1981 Kellogg's introduced a new cereal to stand
alongside what at the time was still called sugar Frosted Flakes and featured Tony the Tiger Donnie
in a straw hat and surrounded by Bunches of bananas and claiming my new Kellogg's banana
Frosted Flakes have real appeal discontinued in 1984 but like many of the cereals on this list
Kellogg's brought back a similarly flavored cereal called banana cream Frosted Flakes the cereal
was more dessert-like than the original and the Box stated it was naturally flavored with other
natural flavors naturally naturally the Nelly crunch Captain Crunch sober Foundation of Rice
Krispies with a perimeter of shredded wheat cap and crunch has fronted arguably the most different
varieties of cereal one of those from the 1970s was Vanilli crunch described on the box as the
cereal that tastes like a crunchy birthday cake the box also explained that Vanilli crunch came
about when a bowl of birthday cake batter was knocked into the original recipe cereal sadly
Vanilli crunch didn't make it past the early 70s before being discontinued I didn't make it
Crazy Cow Jabba face you crazy cow Crazy Cow was a cereal that knew what its most marketable
attribute was and that attribute was flavored cereal milk making its debut in the 1970s Crazy
Cow was artificially flavored and created its flavored milk with a drink mix that coated the
multigrain cereal which dissolved over time the cereal received a boost in popularity when it
began offering collectible Star Wars trading cards in boxes But ultimately never left the
70s Heaven no the 70s waffles waffle waffles weren't waffle-shaped they were more like
squared Cheerios the cereal debuted in 1979 and came in two different varieties maple syrup and
blueberry the mascot for waffles was Waffle Bill a Yosemite Sam knockoff who rounded up blueberry
Critters to make the blueberry flavored variety and possible creatures called waffles to make them
maple syrup kind that's right this cereal is made from living creatures waffle Bill also
had a guitar playing horse that was the sensible foil to Bill's over eager need for cereal waffles
was discontinued in 1982 although similar products can still be found on Supermarket
shelves okay maybe there is a little bit of Hope Forest crunch we mix Morse s'mores yeah
everyone's favorite campfire snacks s'mores is a no-brainer inside the box where chocolate flavored
graham cracker pieces and bite-sized marshmallows that came together to create a perfectly balanced
sweet S'mores cereal the cereal was rebranded as s'mores grams but s'mores crunch was ultimately
discontinued in 1992. Kellogg's launched their version in the early 2000s as s'mores but it
was short-lived and widely regarded as a vastly inferior version of the 1982 classic and that is
better isn't it c-3pos IMC preview the mega merchandising machine that is Star Wars has
always been turning out vaguely franchise related products including this cereal that
came out right after the original trilogy was finished the cereal itself wasn't the usual
colorful overly sugary explosion of the typical 80s promotional cereals instead it was basically
Cheerios in the shape of a figure eight the Box featured everyone's favorite Shiny Gold
Droid with actor Anthony Daniels providing the voice for the commercials and offers in the Box
such as Rebel Rockets trading cards and cut out character masks the cereal didn't last long though
and was discontinued in 1986. I believe he's gone Smurf Berry crunch we like to use the extremely
imprecise term Smurf for just about everything Smurf exactly the success of the Smurfs cartoon
series LED to multiple Smurf inspired kinds of cereal in the early 1980s the first of which
was Smurf Berry crunch the fruity round balls were rightly colored red and purple wheat oat and corn
Puffs that imitated the on-screen favorite food of the pint-sized cartoon characters the cereal was
discontinued in 1987 but not before a young Jack Black appeared in a commercial for the crunchy
berries as an excited kid being pulled along in a red wagon black said the ad caused his stock to
plummet at school so he was probably relieved when it was discontinued once again no offense powdered
Donuts okay well they're still Donuts deceptively simple powdered donut cereal hit shelves in 1980
looking like fat Cheerios dusted with powdered sugar the cereal was a sweet but not overly sugary
breakfast treat that pretty accurately imitated powdered Donuts due to the forgettable nature
of the cereal and the kind of boring branding powdered Donuts coasted along for nearly a decade
before being quietly discontinued in 1989 those that remember it do so fondly but the idea of a
powdered donut cereal seems destined to stay in the past keep the past in the past Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles cereal Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles inspired by everyone's favorite heroes in a shell
the 1989 TMNT cereal was essentially checks with marshmallows the marshmallows were shaved as the
sewer dwellers weapons and of course their favorite food pizza the checks-like pieces
were billed as sweetened ninja Nets and fans could collect trading cards in the boxes as well
as send off for other TMNT themed merchandise including holographic t-shirts there were even
green colored slime pouches included in the box that could be used to top the cereal while fun
and tasty the cereal couldn't survive the 1990s and was ultimately retired to the sewers in 1995.
Magic puffs magic yes introduced in 1974 magic Puffs were sweetened corn Puffs that
were deliciously simple the mascot for the cereal was an anthropomorphic purple and yellow magic hat
that beamed down the cereal from above the back of the box boldly exclaimed now Inside It's Magic for
you almost all of The Branding for the cereal focused on the included trick over the actual
cereal it was magical Bill and Ted's Excellent cereal ready Bill ready Ted nothing says the
late 80s and early 90s like Bill and Ted and that was reinforced by this short-lived tie-in
cereal featuring cinnamon flavored toasted Oat Squares and music note shaped marshmallows the
cereal claimed to be a most awesome breakfast Adventure as with so many cereals from the 80s
and 90s the main reason to buy the Bill and Ted cereal was for all the promotional offers and
giveaways that you could collect items like postcards featuring The Duo's trips through
time and a cassette holder in the shape of their iconic phone Boost were only available
through the cereal the time traveling cereal was eventually discontinued in 1999 but did make an
appearance in the legacy sequel film in 2020 most awesome indeed we're serving up more great videos
