I hated the both of them! King Vitaman, was just Captaincrunch with a shade more nutrition. And Kaboom is too disgusting for words.
The Freakies cereal song named all the Freakies.
“This is the Big Boss, we call him Boss Moss” “(Make sure you spell it right…)” etc.
Don’t remember the whole thing though. Maybe I’ll call my sister (The Human Encyclopedia) and see if she knows.
I just to love “Pink Panther Flakes” when i was a kid - sugary-pink corn flakes, basically. Can’t remember the words to the jingle, though (the tune was the “Pink Panther” theme, of course).
Good Lord.
See if this link works. There are others (courtesy of Google) where you can actually hear the thing sung as of old.

Hey, anyone else remember Croonchy Stars, the Swedish Chef’s cereal? Man, that was some good stuff! Late 1980’s-early 1990’s, IIRC. Crunchy, cinnamon-flavored stars. Yum!
Was Quake really an alien?
“Excuse me. Where do I find the Burns-Os?”
Yuck, that stuff was foul. Give me Krispy Kritters (indubitably!), Smurf Berry Crunch (with the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies-esque theme song!), or Marshmallow Rice Krispies any day.
Quake was from the center of the Earth–so, technically not an alien.
Remember how he was suddenly changed from a muscle-bound construction worker to a thinner guy in a cowboy hat and cape?
I actually had a Quake miner’s helmet.
Quisp
is still available here in the Northwest. Golden sweet saucers of corn! Yum. It is made by Quaker Oats.

Remember the cereal? Hell, I remember the commercial’s jingle!

I have just been looking over the link posted by returning member pluto. I have memories about many of those cereals.
Morning Funnies, the cereal with the comic strips on the back always seemed to have the same strips, no matter how hard I hoped I could get boxes with somewhat new jokes. The cereal was unremarkable.
Cereal Dinersaurs, which had Dinosaur shaped, fruit tasting stuff, was far too soft, though the flavor was nice.
TMNT Cereal had “crunchy sweetened ninja nets, with ninja turtle marshmallows,” Ha! The “nets” were simply sweetened Chex, and they were not very tasty. In fact, they always seemed to get stale easily. The marshmallows were ok.
Dunkin Donuts Cereal were a piece of heaven on earth.
I don’t recall having eaten Bill and Ted’s Excellent Cereal, or Nerd’s cereal, though I wish I had.
I think I will look over more of that site. Thanks for the link!
Then, um… no bumpies, please. We don’t like zombies in our breakfast foods. (They get soggy.)
