Thanks to Pinger Robert for sharing this list of 54 lost vintage cereals with Pinger Matt on Facebook. What a great list!
The Ice Cream Cones cereal took me aback not only for its stupidity, but because I totally remember it. I mean look at that crap! For breakfast… really?
I also really enjoyed the back cover of Rocky Road cereal with the awkward 80s children posing with a tiny piano.
Fingos, the cereal you eat with your fingers? Yikes.
Lastly, I doubt that anyone truly believed that Urkel-O’s were a good idea.

Ice Cream Cones was marvelous. And awful!
I’m convinced Ralston just had a whole bunch of shapes they could apply to corn puffs and a marketing department that was alternately in-step with trends (Urkel-O’s) and out-of-step with trends (Morning Funnies.)
