Breakfast Cereals We Wish They Would Bring Back

Weird History Food is going retro with your old favorite breakfast cereals. Walk down any breakfast cereal aisle in the United States, and you will find a plethora of options. There are often dozens of selections, each with variations on flavor and type. Sadly, some cereals that many enjoyed in childhood no longer exist. Whether it’s due to the public’s changing taste, a loss of license, or some other reason, some have simply vanished.

I could still taste every one of those as they came up… they left that kind of impression

To this day, as a 40 year old man I still remember the Nintendo cereal song. Can’t say I actually liked the cereal but that song is still with me.

Batman cereal was pretty tasty, like honey nut Cheerios crossed with Cap'n Crunch, but it didn't grind up the roof of your mouth. This also left out ET cereal which was a delicious peanut butter flavor.

I remember moist of these on a Saturday morning in front of the television without a care in the world lol....
That was the start to my weekend...

I loved all the monster cerals Fruit Brute Count Chocula and Frankenberry and Booberry but I got some recently they only release them around halloween now, and they taste totally different

The PowerPuff Girls Cereal (2000) was super solid! I always wished Kellogg's would have brought it back with the (awful) PowerPuff Girls re-boot

[AllisonWonderland]

I miss the original Waffle Crisp and there was a cinnamon roll cereal that was also really good! Anyone else remember those?

[Aibonification]

The Powerpuff Girls had an amazing cereal back in the early 2000s, that had coated pop-rocks that would pop in your mouth. Truly the pinnacle of cereal science

My favorite was the Donkey Kong cereal. The barrel shaped cereal was probably just Capn Crunch but I remember it tasting different. Special mention of Count Chocula and it's yearly release. It was one of my favorites as a child and I try to get at least one box every October.

The Golden Graham S'mores cereal will always be my all time favorite I long for the day of it's return.

I recall OJ's being one of the tastiest, and yet fleeting cereals of the 80's.

I dont miss any one cereal anywhere nearly as much as I miss the cereal boxes. All the games and riddles and sweepstakes. Neck I even remember getting pc games out of the box. I had backyard baseball and operation, both very memorable and very fun. Now the back of a cereal box is just QR codes

in the 80's my grandma lived less than a mile from the General Mills factory. Depending on the wind direction the whole neighborhood would smell like fresh baked cereal.

You forgot the actual rice crispy treat cereal!! Clusters of marshmallow rice crispy treats that you poured milk on!! This was my favourite kid cereal!!!

[lorddeez]

While I never had the original, the new version of the Ghostbusters cereal was really good and I wish we had more of it. I would love to have been able to try the og

[dylanx]

This video said we still have the iconic and wonderful Rice Krispy Treat cereal… how I wish that were true! The current version on shelves is a sad lucky charms knock-off with none of the chewy marshmallow clusters that made the original so goos.

[NoobFever]

I want King Vitamin back so very badly. I even wrote Quaker asking for boxes!

[jasonallen]

What I think is you only gave a very small honorable mention to the best kids cereal of the 80s during your Batman segment and that is Smurf Berries man.Smurf Berries literally needs its own video and apparently your researchers are confused or too young to understand just how delicious they were.

I think I vaguely remember Nerds cereal! Blast from the past I had completely forgotten about! 💚

[cassandralyris]

Oh man, so many memories from my childhood! So, in 89 my mom bought a bunch of the Batman cereal boxes so she could send away for the bank and the T-shirt. She still has the bank! The cereal itself was your standard honey glazed corn puff. Not outstanding, but not terrible. I wasn't allowed to keep my Mario/Zelda cereal box though. Still makes me a little bit sad. Not $200 sad though. 😂 For anyone wondering what those tasted like you can get pretty much the same flavor in nearly any newer novelty cereal. A few years back there were Dora and Spongebob cereals that tasted just like them, and newer ones I'd say the Minecraft and Pokemon ones are pretty close too. As for the nerds cereal I'd say try the newer formulations of Fruit Brute and Frankenberry, which ironically now taste much more like the Nerds cereal than they did in the 80's! Good times.
