Ol' Batsy does not look impressed to be on the cover a cereal box.

I love you, OP. I have been trying to remember what these were for years. Even asked in a recent thread. This is them. Holy shit, this is them. This cereal was god-tier
btw that cinnamon bun cereal was disgusting. They were so dry and thin and abrasive. bleh

Trying to think of this particular cereal that was shaped in stars I think with sprinkles on it. EDIT: Nevermind, posted in the OP, it's called Sprinkle Spangles
Also, it was a real trip seeing that Hidden Treasures cereal. Used to love those.
And before somebody posts "Waffle Crisp", they still make it. They sell it where I live in NY in Best Yet/Market.

I've noticed a lot of licensed cereals in the last few years, especially Disney/Marvel/DC ones. They're just made to capitalize on movie releases and then that's it.
I miss the Oreo ones and the Timon and Pumba cereal tho ;-;

Don't think I ever tried this myself but I for sure remember seeing that box around.
Edit: Also I miss fat Pikachu
Hah, those are the only ones that I've had from that list as well.
Oreo O's weren't that good to be honest, didn't taste like the cookies at all.
Mud & Bugs was great though.
And yeah, old art kicks ass

My personal favorite cereal probably because it was just sugar
In general Frosted Chex were fucking amazing.

I was surprised as hell when I wound up stuck in South Carolina in 2008 and found Rice Krispie Treat Cereal at the local grocery stores. I've bought it several times since and don't mind it too much, but it isn't the same as it was in the 90's. The old Rice Krispie Treat Cereal was pretty much Rice Krispie Treats smashed up into little chunks. The new formula/recipe is a lot less sugary and sweet, and is more like regular Rice Krispies stuck together in clumps. Very disappointing.
That Vanilla Crunch cereal in the OP though? Damn, I would do unspeakable things to be able to go back in time and try that. The most recent vanilla cereal I've tried was the Vanilla Life and it was amazing.
God damn I miss Oreo o'sThey only sell it in Korea
My bad, you got it
Not gonna lie, I wanna try banana frosted flakes.
When I was in Korea back in 2015, I looked all over for this and couldn't find it. And then I found out that it was pulled from shelves earlier that year because it was contaminated or something and it made people sick. Not sure if it's back on shelves since then.

What cereal is that? Looks more painful than brand flakes blowing out your asshole the next day.
Lol these were awful. Only ate 1 bowl and eventually threw the rest away
dammit. they're the only ones I see carrying it too. But I hate giving Walmart any money ever.
Morning Funnies. What a horrible idea. You read the box in 5 minutes and then you have all that cereal.

Powerpuff Girl cereal was like pop rocks in cereal form:

Ok, this thread is awesome, and maybe someone can help me remember something amazing i had when i was a kid:
It had to be late 90's/early 2000s, but it was a Post "Make Your Own Cereal" kit, basically, but the box had a factory theme to it. You got 4 smaller packages of Honey Combs, Alpha-Bits, Fruity and Cocoa Pebbles, and then 4 "mixers" like Marshmallows and stuff.
Does anyone else but me remember this, and can they tell me what the hell the name of it was?!

I'm gonna take this opportunity to post the time Matt from the Super Best Friends did cereal journalism.

A lot of these bring back memories. I remember feeding Pac-Man cereal to squirrels on a camping trip, getting really excited for the Ghostbusters and Nintendo cereals and reading the Morning Funnies box in the store because I was a comics fiend but my mom never actually buying it. The only one I remember actually tasting good was Nerds cereal, though. The GOAT of gimmick cereals.
Here's one I think we missed.
Discontinued in 2010. I had a little friend who called it "my people" because of the happy faces.

Am I the only one who ate and liked Croonchy Stars?
Also as already stated, some of those were promotional only so were only on the shelves for a short while purposefully (i.e. Batman, Ghostbusters, TMNT etc)
P.S. Fuck you OP for making me feel old

It was good!
My favorite from the OP was the Buzz Lightyear cereal. That stuff was the bomb

Here's one that sounded like a great idea, but in practice just turned into an unappetizing mush in milk.

The best.
Can't vouch for that particular cereal but Malt O' Meal is LEGIT.
They taste exactly like whatever brand they're imitating. It's such a shame they don't have a chocolate rice krispies equivalent.

Horrible. Very quickly turn slimy, in a very bad way.
