Remember these? I honestly haven't even seen these cereals much less had them on my countertop in decades! Of course the boxes looked much different (and bigger) back when General Mills rolled these out in the early 70's a couple of years before I was born but I can remember chowing on them regularly up until I discovered Pop Tarts anyway. :P

Wow, what a difference huh? Things have come a long way and it's always interesting to see what lasts, just like the music you listen to on this station.

What were some of your favorite cereals growing up and if you still eat cereal today, what are your favorites now and have your tastes changed much over the years? Have fun reminiscing and check out this classic commercial that you might remember too from the 80's!
