Hey she’s got a baby Chiaotzu with her! XD

Again, I love every camera angle. :)

Bad news, everyone …

My local “Open 24 Hours A Day” Walmart is no longer open 24 hours a day. :(

Not sure when that happened, only that it did.

Some cereals have very limited regional distribution, but still kinda/sorta exist.

Somewhere out there is a box of ‘Quisp’ with my name on it. ;)

“Funky Podunkis” are probably roughly analogous to “Freakies” …

… though they remind me of SNL’s “Little Chocolate Donuts” as well:

Here’s a fun article on discontinued cereals …

Found these at the supermarket a few days ago.

Scary~!!

Years ago, there used to exist a fanzine for cereal fandom, called – Wait for it – ‘Flake.’

Not sure how many issues were produced, though I recall at one point having one with a lengthy article on the “Freeze-Dried add-ins” fad of the early 1960’s.

Here’s an example …

Wait a minute, I thought she hated sugary things, figured she’d be the type who likes jalapeño omelets in the morning. Unless she doesn’t plan to eat it, she plans to sell it. Or at least bring it back with her as the mascot, I’d buy it, even if she wants it to be paprika flavored! I’m willing to burn my tounge for your characters Bea! XD

Do they still put “Prizes” in cereal boxes?

There are quite a few articles about cereal box collecting online, this one is a decent enough place to start …

Other Cereal Products That No Longer Exist

Grins & Smiles, Giggles & Laughs

Quake and Quisp

Vanilla Crunch (Captain Crunch)

Punch Crunch (also from Captain Crunch)

King Vitamin (could still be on the market)

Fruit Brute

And then Rene Belloq comes along, takes the box and says, You see, Miss… whatever your last name is… there is nothing you can find that I cannot take away.

The little kid reminds me of early Mad Magazine.

I used to find back-issue magazines stuck down behind the shelves.

Sam sure is gone a long time!

I want my Product 19 back!

Funky Podunkis were renamed Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.

I love it: Morning Sugar!

Reminds me of the Buddy comic strip series I want to do where she and her friends take a road trip to Canada to purchase a box of Crunchy Cow, her favorite breakfast cereal from when she was a kid. P.S. I once draw Buddy eating from a box of Frosted Sugar Clumps. Now that’s a tad too sugary!
