With the exception of Twinkles, I remember all of those General Mills cereals. My dad worked for the Big G and in those days, we were able to get damaged packages of what they made at the plant. The TV ads for Quake and Qwisp were made by Jay Ward, who also did Rocky & Bullwinkle, George of the Jungle and Super Chicken.

You should have included Ralston in your list of manufacturers (0:11), Kellogg's, Post, General Mills & Quaker. They may not be around anymore (acquired by Nestle), but they were once a major player and they came up with, Chex, Cookie Crisp, Freakies (0:45), Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs (1:51), Moonstones (1:32), Waffelos and many more not to mention their tie-in cereals like Donkey Kong cereal, Batman cereal.

Two very popular cereals for kids here were Kellogg’s Fruit Loops and Kellogg’s Coco Pops. I loved eating the different coloured fruit loops as a kid, but I liked them on their own. No milk meant they were crunchy and not soggy. I prefer toast with Vegemite over cereal though. 😁 Thank you Rhett. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺 Hi Paul. 👋😁🇺🇸

Growing up, in my home town we mainly had Food Lion and Kroger. There was a strange grocery store in town called Red Front which was the only place you could get rare things like Rice Krispies with marshmallows or Kaboom cereal. It was such a treat to go there but it looks like Red Front got new management and shut about 4 years ago. Good memories though.

My twin brother and I totally missed out on the ‘70s cereals. Our older siblings told us the stories of those old cereals. Though they missed out on the ‘60s cereals, where our much older cousins bragged about that. One of them has his old decoder ring prize from one cereal. Another one has a miniature model car kit.

It is hard to believe how many cereals have disappeared. My mom didn't like getting my sisters and I cereals with lots of sugar. We did get Honeycombs and Alpha-Bits (which was discontinued a few years ago) and sometimes cereals like Fruity/Coco Pebbles, Apple Jacks, Sugar Smacks, and Lucky Charms. I remember when Freakies came out. They were insanely popular but faded quickly. The original Cookie Crisp came in several flavors (besides chocolate chip); my favorite was vanilla wafer. Does anyone remember Euell Gibbons advertising Grape Nuts? When we went on vacation, mom always got us a package of small boxes of Kellogg's cereal. You could use the box as a bowl (by design) but mom always got paper bowls for us to use. There were "boring" cereal like Product 19. In the 70s, many cereal came with "prizes", small plastic toys or posters. One of my favorites were the monster posters in one of the cereals one year for Halloween. There were 4 of them - Dracula, Frankenstein's Monster, the Wolfman, and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. If I remember right, they glowed in the dark. You could also collect box tops to send in for even better toys. I got my Boba Fett Star Wars action figure that way. Fun episode Rhetty!

@@gregwasserman2635 I ate it until it was discontinued in 2016. I even wrote to them to request its return, but I guess there were just too few of us that really liked it. Although, I personally feel like they just failed to advertise it properly, plus it's kind of a terrible name. Look at all the attention they give Special-K or Frosted Flakes.

Our household was pretty basic when I was a kid, Corn flakes, Rice Crispies and Cheerios. Mom didn't like all the sugar but as we got a little older and more kids in the family she relented a bit and we got Sugar Snaps and Frosted Flakes. We also had oatmeal and Malt o meal. I am not a big cereal fan today except in winter I like some oatmeal. I did not even recognize a good portion of the ones you highlighted.
