For the record I only remember the 90s commercials and am including older ones just for fun. But maybe some readers out there are old enough to remember the 70s and 60s who knows, it's cool to watch old food commercials either way.

Pops (Corn Pops)

Corn Pops is funny in that the marketing for ads involves kids acting like drug fiends for the cereal.

Wow old Capn Crunch looked like shit. Looks like chunky granola made of corn starch.

That's actually pretty damn insidious..

Isn't it? Many of them are like that in fact a ton of the Fruity Pebbles commercials involve cross dressing.

Hey bump

Berries nigga.

Too good for this world
Except in South Korea for some reason

>extreme creme taste

with a motto like that i can see why it was too good for this world

I actually hated those.

This cereal was the absolute shit, I still miss it.

>marshmallow
>oreos
It's almost like you want me to slap the fuck out of your face

Yes! And the fruit-shaped Trix. Now that both are just normal spheres they just don't taste the same...

Shit's real fuckin good

All of you had horrible childhoods

Thanks for sharing all the commercials, user. It's interesting to see the mascots for the General Mills cereals seemed to stick well while Kellogg's changed their focus pretty often (except for the crack addict kids for Pops).

One Fruity Pebbles commercial that has stuck with me since the late 90's or early 00's was when they were running some promotion for a camera. I remember Barney saying, "If you want to find Fred there's clues on the box... We'll send you a camera all the way from Bedrock." Couldn't find it on YouTube but thought I'd share anyway.

I agree those were great.

That fucker is going out on a CAP'Ns pension after decades of loyal service.

How the fuck is he not an ADMRA'L by now?

cooooOOOOOKIE CRISP
I remember my parents thinking that was an obscene cereal so we rarely if ever got it.

I have to admit it was an obscene cereal. It really is like eating a bowl of chocolate chip cookies. There's something bohemian about it even in a market of sugar loaded crazy cereals.

you could mix it with some fruity pebbles and instantly go into a diabetic coma.

Too much responsibility.

>Thanks for sharing all the commercials, user
Glad you liked friendo

Goddamn listen to that orchestral soundtrack.

love the radiant neon green box. tasty af cereal too.

I didn't even like it that much. But I loved the turtles so much I had to have the cereal.

...

has captain crunch always sliced open the roof of your mouth? i buy the malt-o-meal brand of it now since the wizards over there have come up with a way to make it not shred your mouth

Trix was best before they changed shape. Apple Jacks was cool before they added green as well.

I'll eat anything except Honey Smacks and Corn Pops

They changed the shape of these too?! GODDAMN it

>chex with marshmallows
Fuckin weird

>i buy the malt-o-meal brand of it now since the wizards over there have come up with a way to make it not shred your mouth
I gotta try that, I always hated that about capn crunch

Honey. Comb.

oh hell yes

they will be missed.

...

Goddamit Barney you thieving fuck. What a horrible neighbor; I would hate to live near that guy.

Yes!! I love the taste but the pain is just too much. Interesting to hear about Malt-O-Meal but I usually only buy cereal (regardless of brand) when it's $1.50 or less so I may have to make an exception there.

Nobody posted this God Tier cereal yet.

...

cinnamon toast crunch or bust desu

I actually bought this from a Mexican market. It was okay but not $4 okay.

no tropical oils tho

I'm so stoned and that sounds so good right now. Fuck

Excellent choice.

Never had it but sounds great.

Rice Krispies original is a classic with a marketing campaign so successful that rice cereal was referred to as "snap crackle pop" for a generation. I remember being a kid and hearing adults refer to it as that and wondering wtf they were talking about.

bum with the bad, in wit good

i've tried a few Raisin Bran knock-offs and they were all pretty disappointing. never seen this one.

those raisins look absolutely loaded with sugar though. jeez.

The raisins are covered with a coating made from almonds, similar to marzipan. Its yummy af.

the GOAT

Reeses Puffs
Franken Berry
Boo Berry
Cinnamon Toast Crunch

>tfw couldn't find Franken Berry anywhere this Halloween season
I got Boo Berry at least but still.

Probably because of them releasing these collector boxes and re-releasing Fruit Brute. Everyone bought up the stock of all of them for no fucking reason.

RIP Anton Yelchin

I've never heard of Fruit Brute! Looks pretty good though. I know they've been re-releasing the classic designs of the regular GM cereals but the boxes of Boo Berry and Count Chocula I saw were newer designs with some fake election promo on the backs.

>the fruit brute lost the election

Rice Krispie sqaures are honestly my favourite food, but I've never had this. I feel like I'm missing out on true happiness

Saved from the brink of the archive

Crunch Berries tasted like sugar coated synthetic carboard that someone chewed and spit up. That shit makes soylent green look tasty.

>with sharp goodness
lol

caawOOOOOOOkie crisp! also dat irish policeman stereotype

This shit is good.

Unfortunately it's expensive in respect to it's amount per box, and I hardly ever see it on sale. Basically a luxury cereal.

as for childhood, I loved pretty much all of them except Smacks and Golden Grahams

I don't know how Smacks and Golden Grahams are still cereals.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch was probably the one I had the most.

youtube.com/watch?v=ThDtProCyMo

French Toast Crunch was a mistake

I'm assuming you're in the US. Walgreens and CVS often times have Kelloggs cereals on sale for $1.99 and I think those two flavors of Krave are sold there. If not, Target puts more flavors of Krave on sale for about $2.50. You can check coupons.com for coupons you can print for them as well.

Good job

and this.
Haven't had either in a decade, so they're probably nothing like I remember

Shit, the memory of these just now was literally enough for me to drive to Walmart and buy some. Delicious

Cinnamon Toast Crunch was too much for me to be quite honestly frank and truthful my family. The amount of sugar literally grinds away at your teeth like a sandblaster.

>the amount of sugar

10g per serving is really average for "kids" cereal.

"cap'n" crunch isn't a real captain

My nigga. I still have an unopen boxed saved from when my local Walmart had a random restock earlier this year.

This is something you can be rewarded for knowing in Navy boot camp. No shit.

If you love rice krispie squares and cereal too, you are def missing out. This shit is the bomb no joke. I can't find it around were I live nowadays but I travel for work often and I manage to pick it up every so often

I remember getting this at least once, but thankfully I can't remember what it tasted like, otherwise I'd be really depressed.

The 80's one is like a guy battling to stay sober while his friends keep trying to get him to go to the bar.

he is a sea captain. His hat gives it away. No military involvement.

Rewarded? like the instructors will let you have a doughnut?
