I remember a lot of those. Croonchy Stars were really good... and terribly short lived.

"C" is for cookie. That's good enough for me.

I guess this makes me a child of the '70's officially I remember none of those

Or the child of children of the 60s, the kind that didn't get those cereals.

I remember several of those! Rarely ate them, though. My mom wasn't exactly a health nut, but she knew junk food when she saw it.

Didn't know S'more's Crunch was no longer on the market. That's a shame, from a taste (but not nutritional) standpoint.

Banana corn flakes?! Brilliant! Because sometimes, it's just too much hassle to peel and cut up an actual banana.

And re: the "Nintendo Cereal System." "Two different natural and artificial flavors - Fruity and Berry?" Ooooookay.

Cap'n Crunch is still a favorite: though it really wrecks the roof of your mouth.

The PB kind is a serious portion-control hazard in my house...

I vaguely remember Smurfberry Crunch and Smores Crunch.

Seeing this list made me remember Cookie Crisp Cereal and I just checked and they are still selling it. I might have to go pick up a box.

Yeah, but nothing like straight-up Chips-Ahoy in milk. And yet, and yet they said "If you like cookies, you'll..."
