I remember the commercials more than eating the actual cereals. Ours was an eggs and toast for breakfast household. Sleepovers or vacations were the only times I'd get sweet cereals. Smurfberry Crunch was a definite favorite, with the tune from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker ballet in the commercial.
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
I personally don’t remember the powerpuff girls because let’s face if it’s been 20, 25, 30+ years since you’re childhood you’re bound to forget a few things while you’ll remember others vividly. I do remember Spider-Man cereal for the Tobey Maguire era of Spider Man films. Curiously, I have no idea why cereal producers didn’t try to capitalize on the X Men film series when the 1st film came out back in 2000.
Here in Québec, we had Tintin cereals, which were not very good but offered 3D blue/red glasses to see 3D pictures on the back of the boxes. 50 years later, I still enjoy some Capt'n Crunch once in a while!
I miss my batman cereal. But what I really miss is when cereals actually had sweepstakes where you could win some cool prizes as a kid. When I was 10, I got the lucky box of Fruity Pebbles which played music when opened it which signaled the $1,000 cash prize. Sadly my mom made me split it with my siblings 😡
@@Johnnyy832 lmao my mom did that to me when she bought me a scatecher for my birthday I won 200 and she said she would put it in the bank for me for when I was ready 🤣 I remember asking her for it so I can get a game and she said the bank lost it ...
@@Kyle4OH8 yeah my mom did that all the time with our birthday money. Later we learned that the “bank” was code for the liquor store, mall, and jeweler lol
I liked the Cocoa Puffs factory with ramps on the back of the box, and you'd pour them in the top and they'd travel down the ramps into your bowl at the bottom. There's a video of one on TH-cam, if anyone cares.
That ish was disgusting. I had to flipping have it cuz the box was so awesome. My mom put her foot down made me eat it. So instead I positioned the box to hide my bowl from view across the kitchen. I'd put double ration in the bowl and clank my spoon around a bit, and as soon as the coast was clear I'd dump it in the trash and hide it under stuff. By the following Sunday, I was eating Captain Crunch like a boss 11 yr old does. Mission accomplished.
The cereal I miss the most came out in the early 90's called Dino Pebbles. Just like the fruity pebbles or the coco pebbles, but this one had more of a plain tasting flake and Dino shaped marshmallows. Man that was a good cereal.
Idk if it’s the same cereal brand from the 90s and I’m also in the usa but if you go to the big resealable bags of cereal that are all off brand and cheap at your local Walmart or target you can find chocolate Dino pebbles with and without marshmallows for 5$ usually sitting next to the big bags of Knock off coco puffs and cookie theme cereals the Dino cereal also goes by Dino crispy now too I’ve noticed when I go to get more
Donutz cereal, that was the one I couldn't quite remember the exact name of, thank you Weird History Food! My parents were friends with a guy that worked for General Mills, and every time our family would go over there, we were always granted free boxes of cereal to take home, and that powdered sugary goodness made it my favorite of all time! And when I would mention it around my friends, none of them knew about it, which always threw me off. But now I understand why, I was enjoying free, discontinued cereal 😋
I loved 3-CPO's and the old E.T. cereal. Never got to try the Gremlin's cereal, but I wanted to soooo bad. Guess I was a slave to pop-culture from the get-go.
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
Yeah, my husband has been grumbling the past 6 years or so.. "Count Chocula isn't as chocolate-y as it used to be". I still tell him I'd like at least 1 box of each for Halloween. I really miss being a kid.
We were raised on cereal made with sugar def not the same as corn syrup. Even the texture is different 🥲 Def glad I got to taste REAL cereal before it became extinct lol
it’s because you’re older and nostalgia gives you the feeling of things being better in the past but it’s no different than before…minus dangerous chemical additives
My cockatiel, Baby, LOVES BooBerry. As do I. But I really miss Quisp. It shows up now and again in one form or another, but it used to be a regular staple for me and my siblings. Alpen (muesli) was also FANTASTIC....
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.
I do love my cereal. Wrote a book on cereal from the 80s and 90s and everything. There's a cereal in South Africa called Strawberry Pops. Tastes exactly how I remember Strawberry Nerds cereal tasted.

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.
Agreed. Probably why in the end, Cap’n Crunch was my favorite cereal, but the only thing that was ever better than that was Batman’s… and Batman’s wouldn’t tear up your mouth.
Yeah, I really miss Batman cereal. I remember it tasted amazing. I was hoping it was just some other cereal repurposed. I tried Kix once thinking it looked similar, but it tasted nothing like I remember. I think Cap'n Crunch is the closest. Until I saw this video and saw it was made by Ralson and not Quaker, I assumed it was just Cap'n Crunch, but I guess not. Cap'n crunch is probably my favorite cereal, but man you can't eat too much of it with it's mouth destroying properties.
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.
smurf berries sounds like a dangerous sex act. like she ties off your nuts until they turn blue or something. also reminds me of snozzberries from super troopers. which i think is just that stoner's word for snot???? 🤔🤔🤔
I remember C-3PO's, we only bought them because we wanted the free toys...which we never got, presumably because the cereal was gone before we could send in for it
Only twice did my mom buy me that "Hidden Treasures" cereal. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!! Granted, the only other cereal we ever had was generic unsweetened puffed wheat. It literally tasted like wet card board and the wheat husk things would get stuck in your teeth.
loved Waffle Crisp back in the late 90's. Post reintroduced it as Waffle Crunch back in the early to mid 2010's. then for some reason it was gone again c. 2017. you can find it, albeit way overpriced on azamon if you really want to get yourself some. the taste was the same for both as far as i can remember.
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
Love your fun scripts, editing, and delivery style of your videos. Lot's of interesting history of our favorite foods. I was part of the core demographic for these cereals as a kid of the 80's. Sadly, I only recall trying 1 or 2 of these during that time, because mom wasn't too keen on her kids eating a bowl of sugar every morning for breakfast. Our sweet cereals were usually either Honey Nut Cheerios, Frosted Mini Wheats, or sometimes Cap'n Crunch (the peanut butter variety was my favorite). Now if you'll excuse me, I'm taking my bowl of Froot Loops to the living room while I watch the next episode of the Superfriends. 🥣🥛😄
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.
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
The old version was so good that 30+ years later, I'd say it was the best cereal I ever had. It was so good. Both the marshmallows and the actual cereal pieces were delicious. It was a masterpiece.
I was a huge Star Wars fanatic, but 1 box of C-3PO's was all I begged my Mom to buy, hehehe. It tasted terrible. An odd suggestion from around that time: They were Hot Dogs with a tunnel of chili inside. Maybe Frank 'n Furters. I don't think that's right (too "Rocky Horror", lol), but they had frankenstein commercials.
I want the Marshmallow Rice Krispies back. They were really good. I remember eating a chocolate cereal at my grandma's house once, the chocolate pieces were round and it had regular shaped marshmallows in it and I have no idea what kind of cereal it was but I'd love to know. This would have been in the 80's.
Oh, how I treasure Paul Reubens. He's just a great actor. I was a weird kid, so some of favorites may not jibe with many of the sugar addicts in the comments. I love Frosted Flakes, so much so my husband gave me a Tony the Tiger plushie. His mom's dog tore my Tony to shreds & I cried like someone murdered my family. I also grew up loving both versions of Super Golden Puffs .. Sugar Bear & Dig'Em are just 2 more of my favorite cereal "spokesmen". And the bee from HoneyNut Cheerios. Those are also my favorite "kid" cereals, when I was 7 or 8. At the same time, I love GrapeNuts & Shredded Wheat, the original big biscuits each wrapped in a paper pouch. I miss those big biscuits. Shredded Wheat is awesome as a hot cereal. Oh yeah, hot cereals.. Quaker Oats & Cream Of Wheat are on my personal "must have on plane if crashing on a desert island" list. [gasp!] You mentioned Combos?? Dammit, now I want a bag.
I remember most of these cereals, I can still taste them when I close my eyes. Nintendo cereal tasted allot like Lucky Charms, Batman cereal tasted allot like Cap’n Crunch, Ghostbusters cereal tasted like Fruit Loops with marshmallows, and Hidden Gems was basically a fruity Krave. You can luckily still get the alternatives. My favorite cereal even today is Flintstones, Peanut Butter Crunch, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
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!!!
It's not a cereal, but I will always carry a torch for Planters P.B. Crisps. I worked overnights at Target during their short but delicious life and they made a great pick-me-up near the end of the day.
I remember the Batman cereal! I was 5 when it came out. I remember the toy Batmobile. The cereal was very very sweet. It was pretty good though. Reminded me of captain crunch but sweeter. Was such a cool hype for the movie back then.
Like many sodas, there are hundreds of cereal recipes that we'll never taste again. Mr T and Pac-Man cereal was so unique, you'd have to taste it. I think, working off the retro / nostalgia angle, just like so many soda makers always come up with new flavors, cereal makers should bring back classics for a limited time. It'd create a boom for cereals again. If I heard Mr T cereal was coming back for a limited time, I'd be buying Mr T cereal next week.
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 actually won the NES from the Nintendo cereal box! It was the full NES with Powerpad, Zapper, and two controllers with the triple game cart with Super Mario Bros. Duck Hunt. and Track Meet.
*Marshmallow Krispies* and *Fruity Marshmallow Krispies* were my two favorite kinds of cereal back then. I miss them a lot. The closest thing to Marshmallow Krispies I can come up with is a combination of Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms. Add in Fruity Pebbles with them and I can kinda make it like Fruity Marshmallow Krispies. But, it still isn't the same.
I want cereal video games to come back. The prize in the box is a download code for a cereal themed game, potentially with multiple versions for each cereal flavor. The ending could even require the player explaining what the cereal tastes like, forcing them to eat it instead of only getting the box for the code.
One cereal I really miss which is from the 2000s is the SpongeBob cereal in 2004 made for the SpongeBob movie. That show was my childhood and I remember that cereal for some reason. Idk if I actually had the cereal or not but for whatever reason I remember it so well.
I remember what Batman cereal tasted like it was yummy but had that Cap'n crunch mouth shredding texture. ET cereal was the best movie tie in one. Tasted like Reeses pieces!

C-3P0’s were amazing! I miss them so much.
I remember most of these cereals, I can still taste them when I close my eyes. Nintendo cereal tasted allot like Lucky Charms, Batman cereal tasted allot like Cap’n Crunch, Ghostbusters cereal tasted like Fruit Loops with marshmallows, and Hidden Gems was basically a fruity Krave. You can luckily still get the alternatives. My favorite cereal even today is Flintstones, Peanut Butter Crunch, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
good video
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!!!
He mentions it @7:47
I remember eating almost everyone of these. Mr. T and Batman were amazing.
It's not a cereal, but I will always carry a torch for Planters P.B. Crisps. I worked overnights at Target during their short but delicious life and they made a great pick-me-up near the end of the day.
I remember the Batman cereal! I was 5 when it came out. I remember the toy Batmobile. The cereal was very very sweet. It was pretty good though. Reminded me of captain crunch but sweeter. Was such a cool hype for the movie back then.
I remember trying several of those as a kid. The Nerds one did indeed get mushy really quick as I remember.
Quisp isn't gone completely, but one I can only buy online for a high price
Urkel cereal was my favorite. Jaleel White's teenage face on a box of banana-strawberry sugar rings.
The dominance of the Mr. T pose
The 80's were such a awesome time for me my parents were living I finished high school in 1984
Like many sodas, there are hundreds of cereal recipes that we'll never taste again. Mr T and Pac-Man cereal was so unique, you'd have to taste it. I think, working off the retro / nostalgia angle, just like so many soda makers always come up with new flavors, cereal makers should bring back classics for a limited time. It'd create a boom for cereals again. If I heard Mr T cereal was coming back for a limited time, I'd be buying Mr T cereal next week.
Some of these I never heard of. Good job on the video. Cereal fan here still.
The proper dude is voicing this one!
It's so smooth
Ppl keep saying this. But i still havent heard “the other wrong voice”
Why?
@@steakcrust558 it’s the woman
@@steakcrust558 A woman occasionally narrates the videos. She's not *bad*, but the guy has so much personality and she sounds like the WatchMojo lady
I vaguely remember the Batman cereal and I remember it being really good at the time
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.
My favorite cereal has always been Golden Grahams. Fortunately, that's been around my whole life.
The ones still around don't even taste the same.
I actually won the NES from the Nintendo cereal box! It was the full NES with Powerpad, Zapper, and two controllers with the triple game cart with Super Mario Bros. Duck Hunt. and Track Meet.
I miss coco straws, I love those as a kid
They should bring back all the cereals for a new generation. 😀👍
And rice krispies treats cereal needs to go back to the original clumps of awesomeness
Oh, man... the Ghostbusters cereal. That was some premium eatin' in my day.
The Golden Graham S'mores cereal will always be my all time favorite I long for the day of it's return.
Smurf berry crunch was a favorite as a child. It was Smurfy.
We bought one box of that and it was horrendous! Our dog ate it and threw up blue puke
Yeah, Smurf berry crunch at the time were amazing but that was a long time ago
This video mentioned Rice Crispys but not the Pop Rocks mashup with the Power Puff Girls. That cereal was SOOOO good.
If you guys do a video on snacks to bring back be sure to add PB Crisps. There are websites dedicated to bring it back.
I'd like to have Quisp and Quake back.
Bring back Sunday Funnies! it was a great cereal with the bonus of entertainment after you finished your bowl!
*Marshmallow Krispies* and *Fruity Marshmallow Krispies* were my two favorite kinds of cereal back then. I miss them a lot.
The closest thing to Marshmallow Krispies I can come up with is a combination of Rice Krispies and Lucky Charms. Add in Fruity Pebbles with them and I can kinda make it like Fruity Marshmallow Krispies. But, it still isn't the same.
I want cereal video games to come back. The prize in the box is a download code for a cereal themed game, potentially with multiple versions for each cereal flavor. The ending could even require the player explaining what the cereal tastes like, forcing them to eat it instead of only getting the box for the code.
Rocky road cereal was 🔥
Miss the original Smores cereal 😋😍
One cereal I really miss which is from the 2000s is the SpongeBob cereal in 2004 made for the SpongeBob movie. That show was my childhood and I remember that cereal for some reason. Idk if I actually had the cereal or not but for whatever reason I remember it so well.
I remember what Batman cereal tasted like it was yummy but had that Cap'n crunch mouth shredding texture. ET cereal was the best movie tie in one. Tasted like Reeses pieces!
man wish they'd bring back the Nintendo cereal, or at least make a new seperate zelda cereal cause we did get a new mario cereal
I miss Waffelos and vanilla flavored Captain Crunch.
I remember one of my favorite cereals was the Winnie The Pooh Hunny Bee's cereal. It was SO GOOD and had a great texture.
