Just found out this cereal got discontinued over in the States 5 years ago



That sucks. This stuff is awesome. Best chocolate cereal out there
I had this once and I remember loving it, but we could never find it again after that :/

It either got discontinued pretty quickly or we just happened to buy it near the end of its run

As a non American the General Mills cereals look like the struggle cereal brand. Damn those covers are really shitty and second league.

Oreo-o's were absolutely disgusting. I remember being so excited when my dad bought a box and then so disappointed when I ate them.

Cookie Crisp sucks too

All you dudes are missing the #1 GOAT cereal ever

God, I miss it everyday. So much better than that crunchy nut junk.
 
Hidden Treasures box just brought all the nostalgia back. I seem to remember a marshmallow pebbles or something like. I believe it was tiny marshmallows baked right into the pebbles, maybe I dreamt it though.

Edit: They did exists at some point, called Marshmallow Mania Pebbles, that was my shit.

Two things after reading OP-

1. Donkey Kong cereal was amazing. Shit was legit.

2. The absolute god-tier cereal that's missing (and I didn't see mentioned in my quick skim of the pages so far)?

Post Oat Flakes.

This stuff was absolutely THE best cereal I have ever tasted, and I was dumbfounded when it was discontinued. No other oat/cornflake comes close. If you were lucky enough to have experienced this nirvana of cerealdom, feel blessed.

Keep in mind most of these are 20-30 years old. The struggle cereal is the bagged Maltomeal.
 
I remember having a bowl of Oreo-Os once years ago. Recall it being disappointed, namely because it didn't taste as much as Oreos than the box proclaimed. Seemed more like standard chocolate breakfast cereal that was re-branded.

Also, anyone had Froot Loops with Marshmallows? They're still around, but they seem to be only available at Wal-Mart, they seem to be non-existent everywhere else. I adored these.

Canada is weird in that we often miss a lot of American favorites.

I remember Trix as a kid, and it disappeared from Canada for a while.

When it finally came back in a limited capactiy.... Let's just say it wasn't as good as I remembered lol.
 
Nintendo cereal system :....(

The nostalgia.

It's too too much.

I can still rember the commercial jingle:

Nin-Ten-Do!
It's for breakfast now!
Nin-Ten-Do!
It's a cereal, Wow!

Also I totally remember the jingle to the mostly shitty Ice Cream Cones cereal. Something like:

My name's Ice Cream Jones
I make a cereal made from Ice Cream cones.

And Mr Jones rides around on one of those bicycles with the fridge on the front that ice cream venders used to use.

It's annoying that I can remember that but not my what day my wedding anniversary is.
 
After not being able to find it for ages, I've discovered that Honey Bunches of Oats with Real Peaches was discontinued. This saddens me greatly. That was the only kind of Honey Bunches of Oats I liked...

Team Flakes were the absolute GOAT!

I'm sad it seems like nobody remembers them but me.

They held up to milk really well and stayed crunchy for a long time. They had a unique taste that I've never had in any other cereal.

Please God bring them back!

Clicked for Spiderman and Oreos

Good stuff



HOWEVER I will say if you are US and shop at Walmart, lookout for these bad boys

Inject it to my veins
 
I remember liking the OJs cereal. ET was good shit. I don't remember if C3P0's were any good, but they came with a cheap mask you could punch out on the back. Mr T and Donkey Kong were less dangerous to your mouth Cap'n Crunch if I recall correctly.

Cinnamon Mini Buns was a hallmark of my childhood. Cinnabon (Cinimon Swirl rebranded) cereal is alright, but not nearly as tasty!

My wife rolls her eyes but every fall I horde up on 5 boxes of Boo-Berry. I grew up on it when it was available year round, now it's only seasonal.
