[Worst Username Ever]

We all know, Frankenberry, Booberry, and Count Chocula,

But the little known fourth monster was

[JVS]

13. Did he get fired in favor of yummy mummy?

[Worst Username Ever]

19. You are close, but:

Also known as Fuity Yummy Mummy from 1988 to 1990. Technically, General Mills never classified him as one of the "monster cereals." Interesting.. um.. kind of...

1. What can I say? I was a space-head. Just not with my cereal anymore.

[quispquake]

9. Yup, Quisp ruled (Quake too)

I even named my dog Quisp!!! (It takes an over 40 to know what the hell the name means though)

[JHB]

42. No it DOESN'T!

I'm still a good month away from forty, I'll have you know! :headbang:

[HamstersFromHell]

22. Quisp was it!

Up until recently, it was available without the "logo" as a Quaker Bagged Cereal...look for "Quaker Sweet Crunch" at your store for a blast from your past. I haven't seen it on store shelves (bins?) lately, and I have read on the net somewhere that Quaker is re-releasing it as Quisp in "test markets" (Indiana and Illinois were mentioned), as Quaker has supposedly bought the rights to the Quisp character from it's creator, Jay Ward Productions.

Hammies!

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. Still the best: my favorite naval hero:

[alarcojon]

20. And let's not forget the Cap'ns mates

Crunch Berries and Peanut Butter.

[cmf]

3. Some of these sound foul

OJ's? :puke:

ETA: We weren't allowed to eat anything with "Sugar" or "Honey" in the name, or anything with mini marshmallows. We ate Life, Kix and Raisin Bran for the most part.

[Beware the Beast Man]

7. I remember OJ's

They actually weren't half bad. Then again, I was 9...

[Mizmoon]

46. That pic tickled my brain ...

Is there a blueberry version of that cereal? I remember a cowboy character that looked just like him, riding a blueberry (yes, he was RIDING a blueberry) while herding other blueberries, and he was singing a song that went something like this, "Git along, little blueberry critters, git along ...."

Okay, I'm just nuts. Lock me away!

[Parche]

Honeycomb's big.
Yeah Yeah Yeah
It's not small.
No No No.....

<sigh>

[Mr. McD]

[JVS]

I hated getting these

The new purple horseshoes were a topic of much discussion among the neighborhood kids

[NanBo]

14. oh yummy yummy Alpha....

[amber dog democrat]

[Misunderestimator]

We weren't allowed to have anything else... and powdered milk too... BLECH! :puke:

[Gothic Sponge]

21. Yuck! I had to have Carnation nonfat dry milk!

[Misunderestimator]

24. Yep... that's the one.

[Dukkha]

17. SMACK

GOTTA HAVE MY FIX MAN!!!

$&#!@ scarry ass box!

[fdr_hst_fan]

18. When I was a kid in the sixties

(the 1960's, NOT the 1860's!), cereal was a luxury! When your mother is perpetually sick, there's no money for that kind of frippery.

[LiberalEsto]

23. Rice Krispies

and Sugar Frosted Flakes.

We loved the toys in the boxes.

I remember when Cocoa Puffs were introduced -- what an exotic treat!

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

25. Crispy Critters!

The one and only cereal that comes in the shape of animals.

And Kellogg's OKs, kind of their answer to Cheerios.

My mom bought a wide selection: Cheerios, Wheaties, Corn Flakes, Rice Krispies.

Sugared cereals, though, got inhaled the minute she got home from the store, so we didn't get them too often.

But when we did, they were sugared, dammit! Sugar Smacks. Sugar Pops. Sugar Frosted Flakes.

Now I eat mostly Shredded Wheat and Oatmeal Squares.

[Spirochete]

26. Sugar smaciks

Kix
Trix
Alphabits
Cocoa Crispies
Froot Loops
Ruskets
Quisp/Quake
Capn Crunch
Crispy Critters
Shredded Wheat
OK's

I remember there was quite a variety. Hated Raisin Bran, Grape Nuts, and Special K

[St. Jarvitude]

27. Kix, and I still eat it

The fact that I'm still a kid is irrelevant.

I've been known to eat Wheaties and Corn Flakes from time to time, as well.

[izzie]

28. The old dull stuff, oatmeal, corn flakes and cream of wheat.

Well I am old and we had a thing about sitting down and eating together. We did always have fresh juice oranges done in front of us and the coffee was always hand ground by my father. We also had to be able to eat an egg, soft boiled from an egg cup. I do not think I could do that to day.

[Ryano42]

29. Cookie Crisp!!!

Felt like I was pulling a fast one on my Mom and eating A BOWL FULL OF CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!!

Yummahhhh!

:silly:

[redqueen]

30. Count Chocula was my fave too

Also Alpha Bits, Sugar Smacks, and Honeycomb.

mmmmmmmm... I love cereal.

[Culture Mind]

31. Mom bought all sorts but mostly...

Corn Flakes
Shredded Wheat
Puffed Wheat (in the jumbo economy bag)
Rice Krispies
Cheerios
Life
Shreddies
Honeycomb or Alphabits for special treat

They were all good after i added 3 or 4 tablespoons of sugar. Sugarlicious!

There was some other kind of cereal (short lived perhaps) that i loved but can't remember the name of...
they were square with a hole in the middle and made of brown stuff kinda squished together. might have had crunch in the name. they were deeeeefuckinglicious!

[VOX]

32. I was a Trix junkie. Even though it turned the milk an orangey-pink,

I still loved Trix.

I'd actually try some right now, but the mainline-sugar taste would probably be too much...

[SemiCharmedQuark]

33. Urkle-Os! Very Cap'n Crunchy.

[Gothic Sponge]

43. LOL!

I didn't know they made those.

[ronnykmarshall]

34. Fruit Loops

No JOKES!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

35. No cereal

Bread or toast, butter, cheese, coffee, milk, fruit. Sometimes ham. Brazilian breakfast is quite frugal.

[eyesroll]

38. Cheerios, Life, mini-wheats...

Nothing too sugary or artificial, except when we were on vacation. When my grandfather died, we inherited seven half-eaten boxes of sugary cereal -- he loved the stuff, had a different cereal for each day of the week. My grandmother wouldn't touch it and gave it to us.

I acquired a bit of a taste for Berry Berry Kix in college.

Now, if I eat cereal at all, it's hot five-grain stuff with a little brown sugar thrown in, and sometimes mini-wheats or something similar if I'm in a particular mood.

[marigold20]

39. Sugar Pops are tops!

We ate cheaper cereals usually - but ladled on the sugar. I remember how cool it was when the Wheaties flakes filled with sugar.

[OneTwentyoNine]

40. Cheerios,with a s@#t load of sugar on top....heh he...nt

[Meshuga]

41. Frosted Flakes all the way.

I hate Tony the tiger but every time I eat the cerial I think of the days I was a little kid.

[Englander]

44. Golden Nuggets

Then;



a.k.a.



Now;



or




Y'know, I'm guessing "Grape Nuts" don't sell too many boxes in the uk...

[enigmatic]

45. Cap'n Crunch!

The one and only:



And since I grew up, I've moved onto this:

[mrboba1]

47. Super Sugar Crisp (which made my pee smell funny, but I still ate them)

Frosted Flakes
Sugar Smacks
Frosted Mini wheats
Cheerios
Honeycomb
Rice Krispies
Frosted Krispies
Puffed Rice (??? - I was weird)

:D

[terrya]

48. I ate Rice Crispies when I was a kid. eom

[ScreamingMeemie]

49. FREAKIES!!!!!!!!!!

And now, I cannot stand cereal. Perhaps I would change my mind if they brought my beloved Freakies back. :hi:
