Weird History Food is going retro with your old favorite breakfast cereals. Walk down any breakfast cereal aisle in the United States, and you will find a plethora of options. There are often dozens of selections, each with variations on flavor and type. Sadly, some cereals that many enjoyed in childhood no longer exist. Whether it’s due to the public’s changing taste, a loss of license, or some other reason, some have simply vanished.

The Powerpuff Girls had an amazing cereal back in the early 2000s, that had coated pop-rocks that would pop in your mouth. Truly the pinnacle of cereal science

I personally don’t remember the powerpuff girls because let’s face if it’s been 20, 25, 30+ years since you’re childhood you’re bound to forget a few things while you’ll remember others vividly. I do remember Spider-Man cereal for the Tobey Maguire era of Spider Man films. Curiously, I have no idea why cereal producers didn’t try to capitalize on the X Men film series when the 1st film came out back in 2000.

I remember the commercials more than eating the actual cereals. Ours was an eggs and toast for breakfast household. Sleepovers or vacations were the only times I'd get sweet cereals. Smurfberry Crunch was a definite favorite, with the tune from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet in the commercial.

Donutz cereal, that was the one I couldn't quite remember the exact name of, thank you Weird History Food! My parents were friends with a guy that worked for General Mills, and every time our family would go over there, we were always granted free boxes of cereal to take home, and that powdered sugary goodness made it my favorite of all time! And when I would mention it around my friends, none of them knew about it, which always threw me off. But now I understand why, I was enjoying free, discontinued cereal 😋

That ish was disgusting. I had to flipping have it cuz the box was so awesome. My mom put her foot down made me eat it. So instead I positioned the box to hide my bowl from view across the kitchen. I'd put double ration in the bowl and clank my spoon around a bit, and as soon as the coast was clear I'd dump it in the trash and hide it under stuff. By the following Sunday, I was eating Captain Crunch like a boss 11 yr old does. Mission accomplished.

Yeah, I really miss Batman cereal. I remember it tasted amazing. I was hoping it was just some other cereal repurposed. I tried Kix once thinking it looked similar, but it tasted nothing like I remember. I think Cap'n Crunch is the closest. Until I saw this video and saw it was made by Ralson and not Quaker, I assumed it was just Cap'n Crunch, but I guess not. Cap'n crunch is probably my favorite cereal, but man you can't eat too much of it with it's mouth destroying properties.

I love Frosted Flakes, so much so my husband gave me a Tony the Tiger plushie. His mom's dog tore my Tony to shreds & I cried like someone murdered my family. I also grew up loving both versions of Super Golden Puffs .. Sugar Bear & Dig'Em are just 2 more of my favorite cereal "spokesmen". And the bee from HoneyNut Cheerios. Those are also my favorite "kid" cereals, when I was 7 or 8. At the same time, I love GrapeNuts & Shredded Wheat, the original big biscuits each wrapped in a paper pouch. I miss those big biscuits. Shredded Wheat is awesome as a hot cereal. Oh yeah, hot cereals.. Quaker Oats & Cream Of Wheat are on my personal "must have on plane if crashing on a desert island" list.

Sadly, I only recall trying 1 or 2 of these during that time, because mom wasn't too keen on her kids eating a bowl of sugar every morning for breakfast. Our sweet cereals were usually either Honey Nut Cheerios, Frosted Mini Wheats, or sometimes Cap'n Crunch (the peanut butter variety was my favorite).

The Batman cereal didn't taste like "honey oats" so much as it tasted like waffles with an ample serving of butter and syrup. 5/6 year old me found it delicious. The Ghostbusters cereal was legendary though. I mean, it was my favorite movie, and cartoon, but I was a cereal connoisseur, and it was legit one of the best cereals I ever had. I cut out the logo from the box and hung it up above my bed for quite awhile. I'm surprised to learn it was a smaller company that did both those, not General Mills, Kelloggs or Post. Those cereals were unique, and really good. Probably not good for you, but f it, it was the 90s. Ralston, huh? They need to make a comeback. They should sell their old cereals online. Yeah, also the prizes, the contests, and just the games on the back were so much fun. That would be my way of entertaining myself before school a lot of the time, just reading cereal boxes. Cereal companies try to do all sorts of things these days, but they don't quite nail it like they did in the 80s and 90s. That was the golden age of cereal.

Like many sodas, there are hundreds of cereal recipes that we'll never taste again. Mr T and Pac-Man cereal was so unique, you'd have to taste it. I think, working off the retro / nostalgia angle, just like so many soda makers always come up with new flavors, cereal makers should bring back classics for a limited time. It'd create a boom for cereals again. If I heard Mr T cereal was coming back for a limited time, I'd be buying Mr T cereal next week.

Oh man, so many memories from my childhood! So, in 89 my mom bought a bunch of the Batman cereal boxes so she could send away for the bank and the T-shirt. She still has the bank! The cereal itself was your standard honey glazed corn puff. Not outstanding, but not terrible. I wasn't allowed to keep my Mario/Zelda cereal box though. Still makes me a little bit sad. Not $200 sad though. 😂 For anyone wondering what those tasted like you can get pretty much the same flavor in nearly any newer novelty cereal. A few years back there were Dora and Spongebob cereals that tasted just like them, and newer ones I'd say the Minecraft and Pokemon ones are pretty close too. As for the nerds cereal I'd say try the newer formulations of Fruit Brute and Frankenberry, which ironically now taste much more like the Nerds cereal than they did in the 80's! Good times.

I want cereal video games to come back. The prize in the box is a download code for a cereal themed game, potentially with multiple versions for each cereal flavor. The ending could even require the player explaining what the cereal tastes like, forcing them to eat it instead of only getting the box for the code.

What I think is you only gave a very small honorable mention to the best kids cereal of the 80s during your Batman segment and that is Smurf Berries man.Smurf Berries literally needs its own video and apparently your researchers are confused or too young to understand just how delicious they were.
Why Was the 80s the Golden Age for Sugary Cereals?
