24. Ok, I got to ask....
...why the freezer, and how does that make them even better than they admittedly already are? :)

48. That was my favorite too.
I'd also beat Forkboy's grandma for some of that. Or even Frankenberry or Boo Berry. Good stuff!

13. I don't have a picture, but Crispy Critters was my favorite. Quisp was second.
Crispy Critters, as I recall, were pretty much alphabets in animal shapes. Quisp is just awesome. They brought it back for a short time in 2005. I wish it had been for good.

20. That gets my vote!
The cereal itself was terrible, but collecting the little guys was fun. I have two, I think. And a magnet--and damned if my mother still doesn't use it on her fridge!

26. I wasn't like other kids


I've never been one for sweet cereals and I seriously dug the taste of Team Flakes. They came back for a short while but it didn't last. I miss them.

32. I used to like those, too.
We had them fairly frequently when I was a kid. My dad, who did all the grocery shopping, tended to buy what was on sale. Unfortunately, more often than not, he bought "Kaboom." That was some foul stuff. It was loaded with all sorts of artificial dyes.
