54 cereals: Mr. T Remember cartoon-filled mornings as a kid in the 80s and early 90s? A time when all that mattered was wresting control of the remote from your big brother and mastering the marshmallow ratio in whatever totally ridiculous cereal you begged your parents for that week, because your next-door neighbor, Grace Cavadoy, had Fruity Marshmallow Krispies and GODDAMMIT you wanted them too!!! Ah...we've lost a lot of good brands since then.

So shotgun the sugar-saturated milk at the bottom of your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle bowl and imagine "I Will Remember You" playing faintly, as we take a tempting trip back through all the cereals who've moved on to that Big Breakfast in the sky.

Quisp is still available at one grocery store near me. Maybe you can get it online. I still eat it all the time. Quake on the other hand is long gone. Lost the public vote to Quisp a few decades ago in a company sponsored contest.

Quisp is available once a year at Target out here in Kansas City...a promotional deal. Notably missing: The aforementioned Quisp and Quake, Waffle-Os and Crackerjack Cereal. That said great list the brouggt back a ton of memories. Fruit Islands (King Ayumyuma), Donutz...and on and on. Gotta say Ralston had all the great cartoon properties. I remember the commercials for many of these. Thanks!
