    When I was little, it was whichever one had the best toy.

    Faves growing up:
    Sugar Smacks
    Sugar Corn Pops
    Cocoa Puffs
    Count Chocula
    Honey Nut Cheerios
    And surprisingly.... Grape Nuts! (but I added sugar to it, of course)

    It used to be Trix, because they were in cool fruit shapes. But Trix are for kids, and now they are just boring round puffs...
    Actually Trix were round puffs in the 80's and maybe even early 90's. Didn't go fruit-shaped till after that. Now they're retro! I prefer the round multi-colored puffs of my childhood :-)

    I had no idea that they ever made fruit-shaped ones! Yep, in the 80s they were round.

    Corn Pops. Why did they stop making them? :(
    They still make them. I bought them last week :-)

    Yep. They are no longer Sugar Corn Pops, but Kellogg's Corn Pops are available in my area.

    Yes I know, weird that this would be a fave for a kid. When shopping with mum we choose One "Special Cereal" as our own and this is the one I always went for.

    I liked these if they were nuked in the death box with some butter and sugar.

    Reeses Puffs. I rarely indulge in it now because it's hard to cut myself off from the box. Been wanting Cocoa Puffs recently too, those tough chocolate rocks.

    Loved these as a kid:

    Cinnamon Toast Crunch
    Trix
    Lucky Charms
    Fruit Loops
    Waffle Crisp <- Haven't seen those around anymore, they quit making?

    Basically all the sugary stuff, which means I don't eat it anymore.

    I was also a fan of the high fiber Wheaties! I preferred the frosted ones since they were sweeter. I think it was because my dad ate them and I liked to copy him. Cocoa Krispies is a close second though!

    Absolutely bizarre, but I was just thinking about this before I came on here. Peanut Butter Captain Crunch. Oh my gosh. I can't even have it in the house now (or any fun cereal really) or I'll just keep eating it.

    Fav cereal - it's a toss up between porridge home made by Mum or Weetabix. Still love them both and feel comforted when i eat them but the porridge has been replaced by the Oat so simple golden syrup flavour - which is very yummy!

    I will always remember them as those wonderful fruit shapes; the golden age of cereals.

    I never realized Trix had ever been shaped!

    And somehow Cookie Crisp escaped my list - that stuff was amazing.

    And on corn pops - yup my son eats them still (as does dh), so they definitely still make them.

    I totally forgot about that. But I do remember fruit shaped Trix as a kid as opposed to the round ball shapes it is now.

    Oh, I remember Buckwheats! I liked them, too!

    I wish they would bring back those cut-out records. They were pretty cool.
