Breakfast Cereals past and present, discontinued or still around

  1. Wheat Stax (One of my childhood faves, so sad when General Mills took them off the market)
  2. Nabisco Shredded Wheat (the full-sized biscuits you tore apart or broke up with your spoon, not the modern sugar-frosted bite-sized version)
  3. Old Country Style Muesli, by Bob’s Red Mill (It’s available here. I first had it in June 2002 on my honeymoon in Whistler BC CAN, at our hotel. Great stuff! I’ve since seen it at some grocery stores but I usually get it online.)
  4. Wheaties (My fav since 1944 or so)
  5. Quisp (My absolute favorite as a kid of the 60s. Everything about it screams nostalgia to me)
  6. Rice Krispies Snap, Crackle and Pop
  7. Cheerios and all its varieties
  8. Captain Crunch with Crunchberries I know I shouldn’t, but I love 'em and always have!

They were difficult to find after the train passed by, but perseverance paid off; and somewhere, I still have some of those squished pennies.
