Time To Bring Back Some Childhood Breakfast Cereals

Growing up, we had awesome Childhood Breakfast Cereals. Some of my favorites, of course, have been discontinued. One was called Freaky's cereal. Another was King Vitamin. Yeah, it sounds corny, but getting a child to eat fortified vitamins in cereal was a trick, which probably didn't do any good for us anyway, and I look at how I turned out. Another was Super Sugar Crisp. I bounced off the walls after a bowl of that.

But it's good to know four of my favorite Childhood Breakfast Cereals returned this past Fall! If I were to choose my favorite out of the four, I have to say it was always BOO-Berry cereal. Another reason I loved it is because it turned the milk blue, which was so cool as a kid. Let me know your favorite on social media! Count Chocolate, Frankenberry, and Fruit Brute Monster Cereal.

In 1972 I could not wait to watch the "Bugs Bunny Show," which was always on the must-watch cartoons while eating a bowl of sugar. Back then remember we had 3 TV channels to watch from.

Freakies was a brand of sweetened breakfast cereal produced by Ralston and sold in the United States. The cereal – crunchy, light brown ring-shaped bites – And marketed using a cast of seven creatures known collectively as "the Freakies". One of the prizes inside the box of cereal was refrigerator magnets for each character

Quaker's King Vitamin cereal features actor George Mann. He was an actor, known for Broadway Thru a Keyhole (1933), Neptune's Daughter (1949), and The Fat Black Pussycat (1963)  as the "real life" King, although the old cartoon King still appears on the box. Back on the early 1970s it was so popular there is a Change.org petition to bring it back. You can sign the petition here

Worried about children's health issues and obesity problems. In the 1980s, the cereal was renamed "Golden Crisp," and in the 1990s, it was rebranded as "Super Golden Crisp." Today, the cereal is known as "Big G Super Golden Crisp" and is produced by Post Cereals. Despite these changes, Sugar Crisp remains a popular cereal that is enjoyed by many people around the world.

Nothing was more important on a Saturday morning than the Cartoon Line-up and a giant bowl of sugar cereal. Take a trip back in time and see if it sparks a memory or two of one of your favorite children's cereals.  Some might still come back, and yet, some were pretty dangerous as kids to be consuming. Oh and remember the great toys at the bottom of the box? Even a memory of a cardboard record featuring the Jackson 5 or the Archies? Check out a full list of discontinued cereals here.

Freakies is my all-time favorite cereal to watch Bugs Bunny too. The Freakies had seven characters: BossMoss, Snorkledorf, Hamhose, Grumble, Cowmumble, Gargle, and Goody Goody. Once I ate enough cereal to collect all seven. BossMoss is the only magnet that survived.

This cereal was introduced by Kellogg's in early 2013. It was described on the front of the box as a "crispy-lightly-sweetened-vanilla flavored". Not too bad of a taste and cool prizes at the bottom of the box!

My mother bought this cereal all the time. "Have breakfast with the King," she would say to me. The only vitamin in the cereal was Vitamin A at the time pushed the story it was good for you. Remember the 10 essential vitamins that are good for you? Topping at 6 grams of sugar wasn't bad next to Captain Crunch which has 13 grams.

Yes, it's true, "Dunkin' Donuts cereal." Dunkin' Donuts cereal was sold in two flavors: glazed and chocolate. The cereal itself came in three shapes and was made of puffed corn. Despite looking delicious, and boasting of having 10 mg of caffeine. Sounded good at the time but just didn't catch on.
