Just an FYI if you're interested. As a child, I watched the original cartoons and ate the original Fruity Pebbles (my favorite at the time) before they started adding things like marshmallows. Pebbles are a smaller form of rocks which is how it was originally associated with the cereal (imo). Like most shows did back then, Pebbles and bam-bam were introduced later to try and boost ratings.

They did the same here stateside when it came to cigarettes. No more Joe Camel. I was a kid when they did that. Even so, Joe Camel never made me want to smoke, but I hated the smell and the way my lungs burned when I breathed in even second-hand cigarette smoke.

Honestly, I'm a big fan of the dunkin donuts cereals. I can taste caramel and mocha alongside the coffee flavor, and it's nice as an occasional thing to eat. I had no idea cereal was trending downward. It's kind of disheartening as a person who grew up on having cereal in the morning, even if I do have something else for breakfast these days.

Bro wdym that stuff was fire but people just have trash taste buds

[@ncisfan1002]

@@Aironites I think people that enjoy the taste of sour milk are the ones with bad taste buds, man. Like I said it's definitely fire without the milk but when you add the element of the crystals making your milk taste spoiled it loses all fire-ability

Really love that you didn't have any fake rivalry in this, no taking pointless jabs at each other's countries or opinions. Very refreshing.

Ugh, I loved the Sour Patch Kids Cereal! I ate them dry. They were a great snack! Unfortunately, Post was releasing so many great tasting cereals at the same time, between Oreo O’s, Mega Stuf Oreo O’s (my favorite that was sadly discontinued), Golden Oreo O’s, Chips Ahoy!, Sour Patch Kids, Nutter Butter and others to where I couldn’t support them all at the same time. When they discontinued Mega Stuf Oreo O’s, I contacted Post directly and they confirmed it was discontinued, as was Sour Patch Kids. 😞 One cereal I really miss was Smurfs cereal from the 80s. I have never been able to find a suitable replacement and I distinctly remember the flavor. It was like Strawberry and Blue Raspberry flavored and it was sooo good.

There was this one Christmas Captain Crunch cereal back in the 90s that made your milk into cake frosting and I remembered it being absolutely disgusting. It was so bad that it made my mom puke and I remember getting home from school that day finding that it was "mysteriously" gone.

[@Awhless]

I remember the 2004 spongebob cereal had a great gimmick and I loved eating them. The taste was average but one of the more nostalgic ones for me!

[@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075]

i remember most of these cereals as i grew up in the 80's and 90's, though i don't recall how any of them tasted very well, i believe the pop-tarts cereal was ok, not great, but not terrible. i obviously ate the TMNT cereal too, and i imagine if i used a time machine to get a hand of a fresh box today i probably wouldn't like it lol

[@3arthandsky]

I feel sorry for your stomach. I had the knock off large bags of fruti peddles, coco peddles, froot loops and my favorite captain crunch. I gained so much weight at that time but it was a super cheap breakfast.

[@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075]

@@3arthandsky cereals are high in sugar for sure so you can gain weight, honestly pop-tarts are the worst for that, these days i have a gluten-free diet though so i only eat chex

This just made me remember how much I miss King Vitamin cereal. We barely got sugary cereals as kids, and I'm very thankful for that. I think we got the Nintendo one once and mostly just ate the Mario kind, because we weren't familiar with Zelda. We did like the 80s Dunkin Donuts cereal, though.

[@MathieuLeblanc1991]

9:10 Canada actually has a law where cereal based around cartoon characters or movies are basically banned. The only exceptions was if it was like Cheerios tying in with a movie release or Fruity Pebbles which has returned to store shelves in January 2022

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

I'm glad you showed Stefan Saba trying the SpongeBob cereal, he's an awesome KZbinr!

[@jeffreydotson4842]

My mother often refused to buy fad based cereals for my sisters and me because of how they almost without fail ended up just sitting in the cabinet for weeks. The odd thing is that despite my sisters and I only eating just one or two bowls of a fad based cereal before never touching it again still thought in our minds that it was really good. LOL

[@dientimuri3956]

I actually remember having the Nintendo cereal. From my dim memories, the Mario and Zelda cereals basically tasted like the old version of Trix. Vaguely fruity in a stale sort of way.

[@karimah8687]

I remember that cereal! I remember the marshmallows being a bit hard.

[@julesstephenson8935]

There was one limited run cereal I remember from when I was about seven or eight years old that I really wish was permanent. My mom and I both loved it. It was a Winnie the Pooh cereal shaped like the honey pots, and it had a honey flavoring. But like, you could actually taste the honey; not like Honey Nut Cheerios where there’s just like a mild hint. It was so good and I was so disappointed that it was a limited run thing. Also Strider, please make a list of best Canadian cartoons!

[@Billiebustupfan1212]

Maybe if you miss the flavour of them, try adding honey to honey nut cheerios to maybe increase the honey flavour.

Here in France we have a cereal very similar to Pop-Tarts Crunch, called Trésor. It's very similar to PTC, except with chocolate flavor.

I love Dunkin' Donuts cereal. I don't usually drink coffee, but I enjoy sweets very much. Funny how Amelia Bedelia had the right idea of making "cereal with coffee".

[@colleen4ever]

It's still around! We have it here in New Jersey!

[@janebyrne6463]

I grew up with the Flintstones, and I am inclined to agree with you about younger people not really being into the original cartoon today. It should be stated though that the show was originally written for adults on prime time (its original sponsor was Winston Cigarettes),. By the fifth season or so (after Pebbles and Bamm Bamm were added to the show), it became more juvenile and was moved to Saturday morning TV. I still like the cartoon when I catch it, and really liked the DC comics reboot by Mark Russell which was a limited series and did a really good job of updating the series (like renaming Fred and Barney's lodge, Loyal Order of Water Buffalos, Veterans of the Paleolithic Wars).

[@CherylsProductions]

Some of these cereal concepts remind me of a joke from IT Crowd: Jen: "Moss, what did you have for breakfast?" Moss: "Smarties Cereal" Jen: "Oh my god...I didn't know Smarties even made a cereal!" Moss: "They don't, it's just Smarties in a bowl with milk"

Hey man, I'm loving the banned/discontinued/controversial food topics you've been doing. It's always fun seeing things from the past that I've heard of or never heard of. Also loving the collaborations with Nostalgia Critic! Hopefully you'll continue to do more of these topics, as well as more collaborations with Nostalgia Critic.
