Vintage UK Breakfast Cereal Adverts (Vol.6)

[@mgthestrange9098]

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!

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.

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. 😂

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!

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! 🤤

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.

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.

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