In the golden age of breakfast cereal, manufacturers weren't wasting their time promoting health benefits or movie-marketing tie-ins.

You can't list Qwisp without Quake. It was the same cereal shapped differently. Loved both as a kid.

How about "Crispy Critters," a '60s era cereal which were "the one's that are shaped like animals!" In my family, the term crispy critters is used when somone burns the cooking.

I grew up on a lot of those. About half though I've never heard of. I remember QUAKE initially used some miner with one of those flashlight helmets ... then, he became a Cavalier? Man, what little garbage cans we are when were kids. But, at least they kept it real then. Super SUGAR Crisp; SUGAR Pops; SUGAR Smacks. Now, unless your actually selling sugar, that word is taboo. I loved King Vitaman. I didn't realize until just now that vitaman was mispelled. I'm not illiterate ... I just never noticed.

Some of these are still in production, albeit with major changes to the boxes, lol. I'm pretty young, born in '86, so I missed most of these I think, but one that they made fun of that I would have liked to try is 'Punch Crunch'. I'll admit, fruit punch doesn't sound too appealing in a cereal, but I have yet to taste a Cap'N'Crunch cereal that I didn't like. Also, some of the explanations of the cereals are exaggerated, like the Post Sugar-Corn-fetti, it was just Post's version of Frosted Flakes, nothing that crazy.

Also, King Vitaman isn't misspelled. They miraculously spelled it right in the description of the cereal on the front of the box, saying it was 'vitamin' enriched. Vitaman was a play on the word vitamin, because he was a king. Trademarked names are whatever they are, it's impossible for them to be misspelled; obviously that's what the manufacturer wanted.

You've lost the "concept" of Mikey: he didn't like anything. Not he didn't eat everything.

Oh my gosh, I had ALL the fridge magnets. I LOVED that cereal. What's really weird is just yesterday I was thinking about it, trying to remember the name of it. No one knew what I was talking about when I described the front of the box!

Whoever wrote these discriptions is HILARIOUS. Boy I Started my day out on a very funny foot after reading about these cereals. One I feel should have been included was Dunkin Donuts cereal , what a healthy taste treat that was. Cereal shaped like little donuts and loaded with sugar. I wish I could remember what was on the box. Wonder if it was the guy who said "time to make the donuts".
