Sit down in front of your Saturday morning cartoons and munch away on that delicious bowl of 1980s cereal. Can you resist digging the prize out of the box right away? Will the cereal turn the milk colors?
Scroll through these happy memories of your 80s breakfast.
GHOSTBUSTERS CEREAL 1985
RAINBOW BRITE CEREAL 1984
NINTENDO CEREAL SYSTEM 1988

I've got this Gizmo doll in my studio. When you shake him he squeeks.

DONKEY KONG JR. CEREAL 1983

PAC-MAN CEREAL 1980
E.T. CEREAL 1984
BARBIE CEREAL 1988
ICE CREAM CONE CEREAL 1987
Who could resist putting the little ice cream puffs on top of the cones and eating them one by one?
I have one of these green octopus wall crawlers in my studio. It still works just fine after being washed with soapy water. This was from Froot Loops (1986).
NERDS CEREAL 1985
Like the nintendo cereal this had two separate compartments that had different cereal.
The smelly markers on this box were the first mail away I ever sent for. I was in second grade and I didn't understand the concept of the postal service. The day after I sent the letter I sat in a lawn chair at the curb out front of my house waiting for the mailman to bring me my markers. I seriously believed they were coming from Willy Wonka's factory. That summer I sat on the curb every morning for over a month. Finally the day they showed up I wore them all out in about three or four hours.
G.I. JOE 1985
SMURF-BERRY CRUNCH 1985
This one must have been around for a while because I remember eating craploads of Smurf-Berry Crunch.
I hope this brought back some marshmellowriffic memories. Sorry for you kiddos that had to eat malt-o-meal. This post has been part of your complete breakfast!!
