Staying OT a bit further, on the topic of esoteric extinct breakfast cereals:
Some that stand out in my memory:
Believe it or not, these crunchy orange-flavored globes were truly delicious, at least to this kid they were.
the fact they were day-glo orange only added to their appeal.
By far the tastiest of the Cap'n Crunch spinoffs, I think this ground-breaking precursor to stuff like Cinnamon Toast Crunch was around for the shortest time.
Alas, Cinnamon Crunch, we harldy knew ye.

And two cereal nightmares from my youth:
I don't care what the sexed-up whale says, this bland stuff was about as appealing as sweetened cardboard. And it still gave you 'Cap'n Crunch Mouth'.
That whale might be a contender for that 'Cartoon Characters I'd Like to @&#@' thread.
And now for the most disgusting cereal experience of my childhood:
Fruit Loops gone horribly, horribly wrong.
I wonder how many kids were tempted to use that 'Super Soap Shaper' on their wrists (or their mom's throats) after eating a bowl of this nightmare in pink.
I seem to recall there was a punch flavored 'Pink Panther' brand cereal around for a while that was almost as repulsive.
(Checking)
That would be it! Bleh!
Google is a marvelous thing.
