Past Cereals Honored

Remember the days of Saturday morning cartoons? I don’t so much miss the cartoons themselves. I mean, lets face it, the Road Runner will always out run the coyote. Bugs Bunny will always make everyone else look stupid. Shredder will always hide behind his freaky mask and April O’Neal will always wear a cool yellow jump suit (we won’t talk about the new look Turtles that’s on TV today). And I won’t even go into the shows that are gone forever and will only be remembered by their expensive shirts sold at Hot Topic…Thundercats, Heathcliff, Popeye, captain Planet, He-Man, etc.
Here’s the beef. I miss the cereal soap opera. Remember how those darn kids always wanted that little leprechaun Lucky Charms! That poor little Irish! Or how about that sad bunny. All he wanted was a freaking bowl of Trix! And why do kids love Apple Jacks? It just doesn’t make sense, they don’t even taste like apples.
Cookie Crisp, Cocoa Puffs, Cap’n Crunch, and all those short lived special new cereals (French Toast Crunch, Dunkin’ Doughnuts, etc)
This all started when I, on vacation, was able to eat some Lucky Charms. All of a sudden I was faced with the startling fact that I had no idea what all these new marshmallows were all about. A key? Whats a key doing in my Charms? I miss the mini series that were my childhood cereal commercials. I miss the drama, the plot, the suspense, and lets be honest I miss the cereal.

  1. Umm good post but the truth is you hated those commercials don't try to make it sound good now, you were bitter just like I was the silly rabbit always trying to still my tix lets see him come to my house i'll kill em and eat him

  2. remember when Trix used to be good– wait– do they even sell Trix anymore? I remember them tasting so good… such tasty little fruit balls. Then, they changed them. Almost like they tried to make the balls whole wheat and just put color on them. Now, Trix are sick. I still can't get enough of Lucky Charms. Ohh… and that Peanut Butter cereal… it's quite lit-rally the cat's pajamas (what does that saying mean anyway?)

  3. Lucky charms are always a good choice. I ate Cinnamon Toast Crunch every day of high school, yes, everyday for 4 years, and now I can't even look at one box of those cinnamon evil swirly squares… but lucky charms and coco puffs rock. remember the good after school cartoons like Goof Troop and Darkwing Duck… good stuff. Oh and Gargoyles, so dark and mysterious…

  4. I wouldn't want to eat anything that had to do with cat's pajamas. I feel like they would be dry and cotton-y, and that they would have cat hair on them. That's just sick. But I do enjoy peanut butter cereal. Wasn't that Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter?

  5. When I lived in Portugal one of the few american cereals that we could get was Golden Grahams…mmmm….golden grahams. To this day I can't really stand the flavor of the cereal, though I do enjoy a good bit of Jessica Graham (Woods).
