Posted By: <b>Dan Koteles</b><p>no kid ate Cheerios except for Sloate and Moss. Thems thee ultimate, drab, no taste cereal on the planet.Thinking back, I tried to compare anything in the food groups to DRABIDITY of the Cheerios and came up with nuttin. Cheerios was so nasty, hell, I cant even come up with anything funny to say about them. We did the RIce Krispies, then Frosted FLakes , then "Boo-Berry". Michigan is a Kelloggs state anyway ,so no on the Post except for what?.....Raisin Bran, when 3-d's were in the second most nastiest cereal, frickin Raisin Bran was in the house . MY dogs ate more Raisin Bran then any other dogs in the world. Cream of wheat and Apple JAcks have invaded the cupboards of late.<br /><br />Would anyone here buy an okay cereal if they re-did old time player 3-d's?

Posted By: <b>Steve Clark</b><p>I have been on various message boards since the early 1990s (back to the CompuServe days) and have seen many like peter c. Basically someone immature or insecure that wants to fit in with the grownups or the cool/smart guys. It becomes a continuation of posting without thought just to get feedback and attention.

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Yeah, that Quisp ray gun is awesome. After watching the commercial, does anyone notice a bit of Jerry Lewis in his voice?

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p> I gotta go with Joe D on the cereal choices. My 2 favorite are frosted flakes and fruity pebbles. <br /><br /><br /> I actually had my mom buy me boo berry from florida and send it up to me because i hadnt seen it anywhere up in NJ for years,now ive seen it a couple times,but for some reason i think they only release it around halloween. They arent bad but not anywhere as good as the other 2 above

Posted By: <b>pas</b><p>Cheerios rule! 99 percent of breakfast cereals are nauseatingly sweet -- basically just sugar with a little grain mixed in and sprayed with some vitamins.

Petition to Reinstate Peter Chaos
Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>as a kid growing up in northern nj...my mom wouldn't let me have a bb gun, lawn darts...any darts for that matter...and no sugary cereals...only for my birthday. As a result as a kid I ate mostly product 19. I grew to love those crispy...healthy flakes and learned just the right milk ratio so as to maintain their crispiness for enough time to finish my bowl. These days...while plain cheerios is always good...I gravitate towards granola from the bulk aisle...or kashi brand 7 grain whole flakes...and lactaid milk! How pathetic I am...please have pity on me.<br /><br /><br />pete ullman in mn

Petition to Reinstate Peter Chaos
Posted By: <b>PC</b><p>Peter -- you are definitely not alone. Loved Product 19 as a kid. Also Total, Wheaties and Cheerios. Still do. Raisin Bran was in the house a lot, and that seemed sugary to me. We had the occasional Frosted Flakes, but primarily for those '70s 3-D Kellogg's cards. Think they came in Raisin Bran too. <br /><br />My kids like cinammon Life the best, although we also have the typical sugary stuff in the house. I usually don't do the food shopping, but recently I did and decided to buy a box of Product 19 for the kids to try. They liked it (I was not surprised).<br /><br />What I didn't like was that a medium box of Product 19 was about $5.00 (that surprised me). For that price, there should be 3-D cards in the box.<br /><br />edited: and no lawn darts or BB guns either! Our parents were wise. Although we did have those model rockets, with the solid/explosive engines. Had a friend who set one up in his grandmother's living room (a dry run), and accidentlally set it off. Burned a hole in the carpet, left char marks on the cieling and walls, and filled the house with smoke and the smell of gunpowder. Obviously, a rocket hobbyist, not a rocket scientist.

Posted By: <b>Dan Bretta</b><p>Cheerios are fine as long as you dump a boatload of sugar on them....One box a year is about enough Cheerios. This morning on the menu is Cap'n Crunch...the regular kind...I haven't seen Crunchberries on the shelf for years.

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>Michael, <br /><br />I was born in Jamaica Hospital. Grew up in a house on the corner of Woodhaven Blvd. and Metropolitan Ave. After moving upstate for a few years, I moved back to NYC and worked at Abraham & Straus after college. Much of my family still lives in New York. <br /><br /><br />I have no trouble with New Yorkers. <br /><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>John H.</b><p>This cereal chatter reminded me of a classic from the Letterman show back in the 80's: <br /><br />Dave's crack research team unearthed the fact that Snap, Crackle & Pop had a little known brother named Roy. <br /><br />It's not related to cereal or the reinstatement of Peter C. but another one that I'll never forget is the answer to who "they" actually are. "They" as in "They say that if you cross your eyes too often they might stay that way." The "Late Night" researchers discovered that "they" are actually the Van Patten family.<br /><br />I like Honey Nut Cheerios, Sugar Crisp (Can't get enough of that Sugar Crisp.) and Raisin Bran. Do they not call it Sugar Crisp in the U.S. anymore?<br /><br />John

Posted By: <b>Jim VB</b><p>PC,<br /><br />We weren't the golf playing type family back then (read "poor".) However, my Dad, brother and I often played tennis on the Forest Park courts. <br /><br /><br />John H, <br /><br />Nutritional correctness has gotten the best of most marketing departments. Sugar Crisp is now Golden Crisp. Sugar Smacks is now Honey Smacks. Like we don't know what we're really buying. Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs lives on only in old Calvin & Hobbes strips.

Posted By: <b>Mark Steinberg</b><p>After 104 posts, nobody has mentioned my favorite as a kid. Does anyone remember Crispy Critters? Tasted just like Alpha Bits, but Animal Shapes instead. The "spokeslion" was Linus the Lionhearted (pictured below...)<br /><br />In an attempt to get this runaway thread back on topic, I am also attaching the premium that went along with this cereal!<br /><br /><img src="http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff178/perezfan/cispycritters.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff178/perezfan/crispycritters.jpg">

Posted By: <b>John H.</b><p>Jim VB,<br /><br />We get down to the US fairly often and my wife always drags me through the grocery aisles but I hadn't noticed the name change. They're still Sugar Crisp here in the Great White North. Some other cereals have changed their names, though.<br /><br />John

Posted By: <b>Paul S</b><p>...sponsored by Post Cereal has the dubious distinction of being the first kids' show pulled off the air because the FCC thought the tie-in was too close between the show and the sponsor. Of course nowadays you can't GET a children's show on the air without a total merchandising deal.<br /><br /><img src="http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z26/pspec/Other/Linus-vogue_small.jpg">

Posted By: <b>rob</b><p>It's tough to take your recommendation too seriously when you mispelled 2 of the 3 words you wrote. Pretty much shows you do not care that much which lessens your credibility.<br /><br />That is 33 1/3%, might be good for a BA, but not so good when trying to elicit support for reinstatement.

Posted By: <b>Al Simeone</b><p>Lets see offers nothing to the vintage board. Probably didnt buy a new scanner. Drove most of the members crazy!!<br />Look how peaceful its been. I dont believe Leon has had to lock 1 thread since his demise. Plus my Dr. told me my blood pressure has gone down 20 points in the last month!<br />I believe its a direct effect of the "CHAOS" removal.<br />Wait I feel the pressure already getting bad!! Lets not and say we did!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I think the first poster was a troll and his post got deleted......if not then they need to email me...This subject really isn't open for debate right now. It's been pretty good around here lately and we hope to keep it that way at least for a little while longer. .....regards
