monster movies and favorite cereals

[ChattyLMS]

Actually I don't like any of those cereals.  But I thought the character Quisp was really cool.  Anybody know who did his voice?

Daws Butler.  You might also remember him as the voices of: Augie Doggy, Baba Looie, Barney Rubble, Captain Crunch, Elroy Jetson, Huckleberry Hound, Mr. Jinks (I hates meeses to pieces!), Quick Draw McGraw, and about 50 other cartoon voices.

Jay Ward (Rocly & Bulwinkle fame) produced the commercials and hired Daws to do Quisp's voice and William (Cannon) Conrad to do the voice of Quake, the miner/nemisis of Quisp.

It was Post Rice Krinkles for me...sugary sweet cereal perfection. Makes my teeth hurt just thinking about it!

So-Hi The Rice Krinkles kid.

Oh I haven't thought about him in years.

My parents were Kellogg people.  Corn Flakes.  Sometimes Frosted Flakes. "They're Grrreat! (Thanks, Mr Ravenscroft!)  Once in a while, for a treat, we'd get Puffa-Puffa Rice or Apple Jacks.

Sometimes we got Kellogg's OK's, which had a big Scotsman on the box.  They were sugared oat O's and K's that tasted suspiciously like Post Alpha Bits.

My parents were Kellogg people.... Sometimes Frosted Flakes. "They're Grrreat!

My Dad was a night-shift foreman at the Kellogg's factory here in Sydney, Australia in the late 60s/early 70s. He got a bonus fortnightly "food parcel" with his wages and that meant we'd often eat two bowls of cereal each morning, and even a cup of dry cereral as a snack after school. Tony the Tiger's "Sugar Frosties" eventually became "Sugar Frosted Flakes" and then just "Frosted Flakes". We were the first kids in Australia to try "Jaffa Pops" (half orange, half Coco Pops - with an orangutan mascot instead of Coco the monkey) and the overly-sweet "Strawberry Pops" (with an elephant mascot). American "Raisin Bran" has always been "Sultana Bran" here - in Australia, raisins are about four times bigger than what we know as regular sultanas.

Sometimes we got Kellogg's OK's, which had a big Scotsman on the box.  They were sugared oat O's and K's that tasted suspiciously like Post Alpha Bits.

We loved Kellogg's "OKs" as kids, but ours weren't frosted. There was a shortlived frosted version called "Letter Bits", but they were awful.

Australia never got equivalents to many of the Post US cereal varieties, but we knew them all from comic book ads, particularly the "Trix" rabbit and the "Lucky Charms" leprechaun. I was staggered to realise that those varietioes had introduced little marshmallows - as if they weren't sweet enough!

Toy Tokyo, Kelloggs and Medicom combined to produce a Kubrick figure of breakfast cereal monster Boo Berry. This limited edition version glows in the dark.

I was a frankenberry kid. I loved freakies but they were hard to find here, so i didnt get them very often. I had the figurines but they are long gone. I wanted to like the other monster cereals but just couldn't stomach them. Esp count chocula I despised all chocolate cereals. Yuk. Except i absolutely loved COOKIE CRISP. I probably ate a couple truckloads of it as a kid. Cartoons and  Coooooookie crisp! I always liked to read my MAD &CRACKED Magazines WHILE I ate cereal too.

  Freakies cereal while watching freaky monster movies.  The `70's were sweet.

[general gruesome]

the monster cereals are for me, count chocula, boo berry, and franken berry. I buy them wherever I can find them. I would like to have tried the discontinued ones like fruit brute and yummy mummy

[Gillman-Fan]

Normally, I'd say BooBerry BUT they reformulated it with whole grains (and less sugar) and ruined it for me.

I'm currently hooked on Crunch Berries or, better still, Oops! All Berries! paired with vanilla almond milk.

I always enjoyed those small little cheap toys

Great thread, brings back lots of memories! My sister & I used to watch for the premiums, & I've managed to keep a handful. Cap'n Crunch remains my all-time favorite.

I saw a story on the news stating Nestle and Kellogs are going to stop advertising foods including cereals to kids unless they lower the sugar content. 

I guess the days of Superman advertising Kellegos Sugar Frosted Flakes are over.  Shame.
