Remember when they added the Orange Moose?
I can still sing most of the song!
Critters now has orange moose, moose, moose!
The finest moose we could produce
Call for orange moose!
Among the most objectionable inventions yet created by mankind. The reviews on that site are hilarious and spot-on.
I STILL haven’t found a cereal I like as much as Post Oat Flakes! A little brown sugar (actually, Domino “brownulated” sugar), mmmmm…
Quaker Toasted Oatmeal came close in the 90s, but then they screwed it up by adding sub-par oat clusters into the mix.
All the other oat-flake-like cereals smell like Play-Doh.
Josta and PB Max candy bars. Oh, soooooooo tasty!
Man I always thought Krispy Kritters was horrible cereal! It pissed me off because I loved the commercial and the song SO much and I begged my mom to buy it, and I finally got it and it sucked 
I remember some kind of gum in the 80’s that had a sort of gel inside. I THOUGHT it was Bonkers (which had very memorable commercials) but I just checked out some sites about Bonkers and I don’t think that’s right. Anyone remember?
Freshen Up
I don’t remember when Crispy Critters added the Orange Moose but I did find the old commercial by way of YouTube.
But we’re dying to know - does it taste the same?
Back in the '70s, Golden Nuggets was the Best Thing Ever. Huge BOULDERS of sugary goodness with a unique taste, similar to, but better than, Cap’n Crunch. Then people got health conscious so they discontinued it. Then twenty-something years later the cereal company got profit conscious and recontinued it - but they ruined it! The nuggets are smaller and sweetere, and the taste has changed completely. 
Either that or I’m no longer a small kid.
The miracle of the Internet: Quisp.
I sometimes get a hankering for Buc-Wheats, made by General Mills in the 1970s and 80s. It was a lot like Wheaties, but covered with maple flavoring. Good stuff.
Koogle is particularly fascinating for me. I’ve never tasted it, but I remember the ads when it was new. I was in the age group they were targeting, but I wasn’t interested. My brother was, but while my mother would buy us some garbage, she wouldn’t let Koogle into the house, and she turned down flatly numerous other junk food requests.
But the strange thing was that I remembered the commercial with the animated wooly mammoth running around and the “Koog- Koog- Koogly eyes!” song. I remembere it for years. Occasionally I would tell someone about this, but no one seemed to remember it. Then, in 1989, a friend of mine, a propos of nothing and rather drunk, says, “Does anyone remember Koogle? Man, that shit ruled!” I was floored! After all those years of no one remembering the stuff, I came to assume it had been a dream, and that it never existed in the first place.
I respect those who miss the stuff, even though I wouldn’t eat it even if I had a time machine that would allow me to travel back to a 1979 grocery store and get it cheap. But I’ll be fascinated to no end by how I came to believe I’d dreamed the product; the memory is a funny thing.
Man, I miss Fruit Brute.
Ben and Jerry’s Cool Brittania flavor. Discontinued several years ago.
Vanilla ice cream with strawberries and chocolate covered shortbread. Delicious.
Dubbed “cum gum” by my oh-so-witty high school boyfriend.
Cereal - Raisins, Rice & Rye
Cheese Kisses - Individual wrapped (like taffy or peanut butter kisses) “cheese” nuggets.
Forever Yours - Dark chocolate candy bar with and amazing nougat and caramel center.
Wheat Nuts - Although I come across them once in awhile
Corkers? Corkscrew-shaped corn chips
Also, I could swear they used to make grape Tang, but everyone I mention this to laughs in my face! Does anyone else remember this?
I remember it and I think I can still buy it!
I remember shampoos -
Gee, your hair smells terrific!
and
Body on Tap
Which reminds me of the joke, “I could never be gay. I can’t even eat that gum that squirts in your mouth.”
Yes, it did (of course, I hadn’t really eaten any Quisp in awhile so my taste memory might have been a bit foggy). Overall, I found them not bad and, because the shape and size of the sweetened corn/oat discs, a better cereal for dry snacking than Cap’n Crunch (which can be a bit messy if you eat them right out of the box).
Anyway, on a related side note, Quaker–like Malt-O-Meal–put out an economy line of large bagged cereals (I don’t know if they still do). About ten years ago, while browsing through a supermarket cereal aisle, I noticed one of Quaker’s low-budget versions of popular brands had a familiar disc-like shape to it. It was Quisp–albeit with a different name and in an economy-sized clear cellophane bag. I ended up buying a bag of the cereal-formerly-known-and-then-known-again-as Quisp but it was so huge it took me nearly three weeks to eat it all.
