20 of the Craziest Breakfast Cereals Ever Made

20. Moonstones

Ralston marketed this cereal with the story that it was mined from the lunar surface by a regiment of magical beings called Moonbeams. Their commandant, Major Moon, led the work camp while obsessing over the moral decay their shiftless neighbors, the Moonbums, were attempting to introduce. Despite being a tasty, Cold War mix of fruit and fascism, Moonstones were discontinued after only a year in 1977.
