Cool thread Zzzptm, Boo Berry was my favorite as a kid.

Was there a wolf man cereal? I don’t recall one.

Yes of course we do, just some fun.

I recall now Zzzptm, Fruit Brute was the wolf man cereal, now discontinued and there was also Yummy Mummy, now also discontinued.

The only cereal I've eaten have been Kellogg's Corn Flakes...

I can honestly say I have never even heard of any of these...but they do sound spooky.

Yeah, Fruit Brute! That one looked cool, but I suspected it was a scam. I had already been burned on having memorized 4 marshmallow types for Lucky Charms and then getting swamped as they introduced new types.

Being from the U.S., I've heard of all of them, but have never tried any.  Corn Flakes are okay, but I only eat Special K (dry, then I add in some dried blueberries and 1 sliced dried strawberry).

Not even as a kid? Are you a health freak or something, no insult intended.

There were a number of cereals that came out when I was a kid that made me say "No, not gonna do that one."

King Vitamin was top on my list of "Never Again" cereals. Sugar Smacks were second. Nasty business, the both of them. Trix was also unpalatable to me.

Lucky Charms were awesome until they changed the cereal formula, then it tasted like butts. It's changed back, and I'm pleased for that.

Special K I only ate in my adult life.  I was never attracted to any of those cartoon type cereals when I was a kid.  Can't really explain it.  Just didn't care.

I haven't had any cereal in years and years...My mom used to like Special K...

As a kid a loved all those cartoon character cereals, Cap’N Crunch was my favorite, cause soggies suck, and I’d get excited over the free prize that use to come inside the cereal box.

Those were the days.

Aw yeah, the free prizes!

1. Pour out all the cereal.
2. GET THAT PRIZE!
3. Pour the cereal back in the box.
4. Might as well have cereal for lunch, since it's already out.

That’s what I use to do Zzzptm, then I’d get scolded for doing so, it was fun being a kid.

Reading cereal boxes was also worthwhile as an alternative to the morning paper. I liked to compare vitamin percentages and ingredients between cereals we had on hand.
