Growing up in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s afforded me some of the best cartoon-watching a child could have. But one of the things I looked forward to most was waking up each morning and checking out what kind of cereal my mom had stocked the kitchen with. Chock full of sugars and product placements, a big old bowl of cereal paired well with Saturday morning cartoons…or right before I took my sugar high to school, to wreak havoc on those pesky teachers.
I’ve compiled a list of classic, over-the-top, forgotten old-school breakfast foods that I’m pouring a bowl out over. I think you will, too.
1. Cinnamon Mini-Buns
I feel like this cereal influenced where I got my very first job (Cinnabon), because who can resist the hypnotic cinnamon swirls? This cereal contained miniature buns of awesomeness containing cinnamon, sugar and whole grain oats.
2. Hidden Treasures
This cereal looked gross, but once you took a bite into those sweet sweet corn puffs, delicious fruity icing would explode in your mouth. The flavors: cherry, grape and orange. Yeah, pretty awesome.
3. CinnaCrunch Pebbles/Dino Pebbles
I think every kid who grew up in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s has some kind of affinity for The Flintstones, and with that Dino Pebbles. So with that came a love for varieties of Post’s Pebbles, including CinnaCrunch (released in 1998) made from sweetened oat, corn and wheat and had real cinnamon. #DROOL
4. Urkel-Os
Family Matters was one of my favorite shows growing up. Who wasn’t obsessed with Steve Urkel and his ridiculous catch phrase, “Did I do that?” So it really didn’t matter what Urkel-O’s tasted like (strawberry and banana rings), but that I could eat them while watching the show.
