Vintage UK Breakfast Cereal Adverts (Vol.6)

[@stevedickson5853]

Still can't beat a full English breakfast..😋

[@mgthestrange9098]

Nah, I can’t eat anything like that first thing in the morning. 🤢 It’s cereal for me! ☺️🌅

[@RetroSteveUK]

Funnily enough, I haven't found any ads for full english yet. 🤪

@@RetroSteveUKthe only singular product of that I can think of are those terrible all day breakfast in a tin that’s mostly beans. 😬

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@mgthestrange9098 They are terrible, but I really like them; I have a weird liking for some processed foods, like those microwavable hamburgers you can buy in packets. I also like cold beans and spaghetti though, so I would take my tastes as gospel. 😂

10:38 Hugh Laurie 👍

Not only was he good at playing Dr House but he was also good at narrating UK TV adverts throughout the '80s and '90s especially that Shreddies one, nice!👌

[@ModTrash]

Snap, Crackle and Pop pencil toppers, Frosties spokey dokeys and Return to Oz stickers in packs of Sugar Puffs, those were the days. Also, Start was a very underrated cereal!

[@RetroSteveUK]

I also remember liking Start. A bit short-lived, if I remember.

Man, I love cereal so much and grew up on the stuff! My fave is Frosties but just have them on a Saturday now. This was a nice reminder of all the cereals and the little things you got free. I used to choose my cereals based on the free insides as I called them, I wasn’t interested in the things that you needed to send away for with tokens. I miss all of these old adverts, they’re so bouncy and fun, the trouble is they keep banning what can be shown and when it’s shown booo!

[@RetroSteveUK]

I used to find the tokens & sending off for stuff quite exciting, particularly waiting for the stuff to arrive. Free insides were good too, though. Can't beat a bit of instant gratification.

[@michaelhaywood8262]

@@RetroSteveUK I think that plastic toys inside are now banned, but IDK if this because of a coking hazard or to avoid plastic pollution.

[@nellyfett2681]

Frosties for me, sometimes ricicles or coco-pops. (Theres a sugary theme there! Probably why my teeth are full of fillings!) PS - Thanks for the upload schedule-always perfect timing for my afternoon cuppa break!

[@RetroSteveUK]

Timed for when you're just getting in from school! 😄 Frosties were always a favourite of mine, but these days I go for boring Fruit 'n Fibre - gotta look after my digestion!

[@ElijahRetro1982]

Ah yes, a scrumptious bowl of cereal sounds good right about now(don't matter if it's for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. Hell, it's a perfect snack too). 👍🏽😎👍🏽

[@RetroSteveUK]

Totally! 🤤

[@jwb52z9]

I don't ever remember any cereal in the US having a malt taste. Maybe that's what they had to replace the sugar with outside the US. I love how the Rice Krispies mascots were portrayed as superheroes in the UK. Even when they're supposed to be the same cereal, the UK versions are practically health food.

[@RetroSteveUK]

Unless they're coated in sugar and cocoa, ie. Coco Pops. 🤤

[@mattw8332]

"Ha ha! Hunger Strikes!" 😃 Nice to see that again on the Shredded Wheat advert. Used to enjoy Kelloggs Start . These days I eat Cinnamon Squares and Honey Nut Corn Flakes for breakfast.

[@RetroSteveUK]

@@mattw8332 That little Shreddies hunger character stayed in my head for years, so yeah it's definitely nice to see it again.

[@FishpondsLady]

My girl was brought up on boiled eggs. And soldiers! Occasionally... very occasionally... I let her have Coco Pops (they turn the milk brown!)

[@michaelhaywood8262]

Many cereals have way too much added sugar. I like cereals but take care to choose types with minimal or no added sugar. Weetabix is not too bad with 4.4% sugar [total of natural and added sugar], but their mini-Weetabix have almost QUADRUPLE that amount. Best check the label before you buy. Sometimes reduced or no-added-sugar equivalents are available from the health food shop.
