    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 Still love them both and feel comforted when i eat them but the porridge has been replaced by the Oat so simple golden syrup flavour - which is very yummy!

    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.

    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.

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

    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:

    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.

    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. :)

    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.
