What was wrong with 80's people??

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:


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.
