(102,361 posts)I never got into them for whatever reason (probably because my Mom dropped the hammer on sugared cereals pretty early on) but I know they are still made.

(65,173 posts)By odd coincidence, I saw a kid picking out that very brand on Wednesday. His mom told him he could pick out whatever he wanted. Got the feeling this "getting to choose" was a special event. He was really excited.
And he picked out Cocoa Kristin's. Mom, however, didn't look too excited.
For some reason, I thought they weren't made by Kellogg's, but Cocoa Krispies obviously would have been.

(9,273 posts)Delicious and unique, nothing out there like it today. Was hoping with the oat-bran craze of a few years back theyd resurrect it, but no.

(32,066 posts)Natures Path makes something called Heritage Flakes which is the closest thing I can find, but theyre just not the same thing as the oat flakes.

(9,735 posts)Their advertising jingle was the same as the "Jeopardy!" theme song: "Big, big breakfasts, good, good, snacks, swing to Kellogg's Sugar Smacks." Truthfully, I didn't much like them, being a regular corn flakes fan.

(102,361 posts)I am still pissed they discontinued it because i would carry a little bag as a snack and eat them "dry."
Relatively healthy given it was multi-grain--albeit processed like all cereal.

(25,555 posts)I got away from the super-sweet when I was in my teens and Product 19 was on my list.
My mom bought every cereal imaginable. It's kinda weird...
I can't even remember everything. She would buy all the new stuff. It got old and sweet fast. It all kinda tasted the same to me.

No added sugar - anyone care to look up the sugar content of their favourite processed cereals?

We soak it overnight in whole milk and then add fresh fruit, skyr (Icelandic yogurt), and raw honey

(9,174 posts)Graham cracker taste...big, crunchy, gear-shaped pieces that held up to the milk.
We couldn't get it where we lived, but when we visited my aunt in Tennessee, she always had some.
