      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 Still love them both and feel comforted when i eat them but the porridge has been replaced by the Oat so simple golden syrup flavour - which is very yummy!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 had no idea that they ever made fruit-shaped ones! Yep, in the 80s they were round.

      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.

      "Quisp" and "Freakies" and "Pink Panther Flakes"...even liked "Buckwheats"!

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

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

      Apple Jacks
      Fruit Loops
      Honeycomb
      Cocoa Krispies
      Frosted Flakes
      Corn Pops - they used to call this Sugar Pops and changed the name

      ETA: also something called Honey Grahams or something like that ....

      anything with lots of sugar on it

      Cheerios
      Wheaties
      Wheat Chex

      Never did like the super sweet stuff (and any way, Mom wouldn't bring it into the house!)

      CAP'N CRUNCH (original peanut butter) :love: <
      Now there's a scary thought :tongue:

      You guys have bad memories, because "Smurf Berry Crunch" was the best cereal.

      Honey Nut, yo.

      Shredded Wheat - The big ones that filled the bowl! Still love them. In the early 60's, there weren't so many choices and very few sugar sweetened cereals available. In the winter, I liked Cream of Rice. :flowerforyou:

      Curiously Cinnamon/Cinnamon Toast Crunch (depending on location). I can't get enough of cinnamony stuff!

      Strawberry Shortcake cereal was my absolute favorite. I'm an 80's kid!

      Sugar Puffs..... mum only bought them every few months, they were expensive back then and would only last a day or two. I can't buy them as I know I'd eat the box in one go.

      Honey Chex

      Super Sugar Crisp was my all-time favorite, hands down!

      But I also loved:

      Corn Pops
      Honeycomb
      Captain Crunch
      and Raisin Bran. But I'd load it up with sugar and MORE raisins. :)

      Golden Grahams, yum!

      When we were kids, we figured out the way to make those "sugared raisins", that were in Raisin Bran. You simply toss raisins in sugar.! More was more, and now, more is more to lose. Live and learn and live.

      Fruity Pebbles made into "krispie treats".

      Count Chocula, Lucky Charms, Cocoa Pebbles... I liked Captain Crunch but man that stuff eats the roof of your mouth!
