I'll bet if you play it backwords, theirs a Satanic message! :buggedout:
Ok, now I'm gonna have nightmares about that freaky little humpty-dumpty guy chasing me around the house at night, making those moron sounds. :teddyr:
OH....MY...GOD........ :bluesad:
Man that is great. My wife worked with a girl from Czech Republic who would always bring back Kinder chocolate from Europe. That stuff is delicious despite the creepy humpty dumpty guy.
Also, Karma for RC for bringing back memories of mothers protesting every rock album that came out.
One word: JAMS.

Hey, 80s people are at least one step up from 70s people with their leisure suits and discos and their wacky breakfast cereals:

Not to mention that I would take the Gipper over the well-intentioned but utterly incompetent Jimmy Carter ANY day . . .
Derf, I've actually eaten and LIKED that cereal.

Me, too. I collected most of the little plastic Freakies figurines and magnets (I went through a
lot of that stuff). That cereal, along with Quisp, King Vitaman, Pebbles (both varieties), Sugar Crisp, and the unholy quartet of Frankenberry, Count Chocula, Boo Berry and Fruit Brute (yes, I ate Fruit Brute) fueled much of my sugar-saturated childhood.

Wow. I thought I was the only one left alive who remembered Fruit Brute. I vaguely remember Quisp and King Vitamin. I still scarf the hell out of some Cocoa Pebbles. Never was too big on Sugar Crisp, but I ate it. My thing was and still is Cap'n Crunch. Either the peanut butter or the Crunch Berries.
I gotta give ya more karma for the Brute tho. :cheers:

We only get half credit for the Unholy Quartet. It was actually a Quintet Destruction. we forgot the Yummy Mummy.
(http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/8/86/150px-Yummy_Mummy.jpeg)
Quisp has its very own website:
http://www.quisp.com
It's available at a few places, and online ($5 for one 9 oz. box!)
Loved it as a kid.
Addendum:
As for "What was wrong with 80's people?? " (and 70's too"
Lots of bad drugs. The 1970s & 80s are what happen when you do drugs, kids. Please, don't do drugs.
I missed Yummy Mummy. It came out around 1987, so I guess that makes another thing wrong with 80s people: gay cereal spokesmonsters. I guess I'd outgrown most of the extra sugary cereals by that time.
But I will totally agree that Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries is awesome stuff.

The wife and I were recently cleaning out my in-law's house as they just recently moved to a small apartment. Now, my mother in law is known for being a notorious food hoarder who will throw nothing away (we actually found a can of beans that expired in the late 70's). Lo and behold, back in a dusty corner of the back shelves, I found a box of Yummy Mummy! On a whim (and because the wife wasn't there watching me) I decided to see if those old cancer inducing preservatives REALLY stood the test of time... C'mon, If I have ingested MRE's and lived, what's a box of 20 year old cereal gunna do to me? Turns out, just a bad taste in your mouth and a mild case of the trots! I don't know what more than 1 bowl would do to you, as my wife interrupted my impromptu science experiment so unfortunately the world may never know if 20 year old cereal causes spontaneous genetic mutation.
On an even sadder note, there was no prize in there even though the box clearly stated there was. Although it may have disintegrated over time and I ate it. :question:
Does anyone remember this stuff? It was SOOO GOOOD. I LOVED it when i was little, but they dont make it anymore. The mascot was a robot thingy, but i couldnt find a picture of it.

Those were eaten with milk? I just ate 20 year old cereal without batting an eye and just LOOKING at the cover of that box is giving me the shudders... What did they taste like Capn' crunch and fruit roll-ups?
Staying OT a bit further, on the topic of esoteric extinct breakfast cereals:
Some that stand out in my memory:
(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/morrisawilliams/box1323.jpg)
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:
(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/morrisawilliams/box281.jpg)
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:
(http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t214/morrisawilliams/box1262.jpg)
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.
