Nothing takes me back to childhood like cereal, especially the sugary kinds. Growing up in the ’60s and ’70s, commercials during Saturday morning cartoons shaped my cereal choices.

Do any of you remember these classics? Some endured, others faded away.

Frosted Flakes (Tony the Tiger)

Fruit Loops (Tucan Sam)

Wheaties (The Breakfast of Champions)

Total (“100% daily value of 11 essential vitamins and minerals.”)

Cap’n Crunch

Quisp (a propeller-headed alien character)

Quake (a miner superhero)

Cocoa Puffs (Sunny, the Cuckoo Bird)

Kix (“Kid Tested. Mother Approved”)

Count Chocula (a cartoon vampire)

Cocoa Pebbles (Flintstones)

Sugar Smacks (Dig ‘Em Frog)

These are the brands that come to mind, but I wonder whether my siblings’ cereal memories would differ from mine. In those days, the cereal was floating in whole milk. These days, if I indulge in a bowl of sugary goodness (definitely not heart-healthy), the milk bath of choice is lactose-free!
