      Just an FYI if you're interested. As a child, I watched the original cartoons and ate the original Fruity Pebbles (my favorite at the time) before they started adding things like marshmallows. Pebbles are a smaller form of rocks which is how it was originally associated with the cereal (imo). Like most shows did back then, Pebbles and bam-bam were introduced later to try and boost ratings.

I do prefer fruity pebbles more than the cupcake ones, but the cupcake pebbles were actually pretty good from my experience on them.

    One cereal I remember that got discontinued was the Cinnabon cereal. My siblings and I really loved Cinnamon Mini Buns cereal, so when that stopped showing up at our local super market, we hoped this would taste just the same. It did not, the texture was all wrong and it tasted most of hazelnut. Fortunately an actual Cinnabon is something I always look forward to eating whenever I go to the mall.
    I still miss Cinnamon Mini Buns to this day and can still remember the taste. I really hope it comes back one day, or a cereal that captures its taste.

    I think I know one reason the Spongebob cereal didn't catch on for long.
    If you want a cereal with nautical marshmallows, you can get a big bag of Marshmallow Mateys, which is basically Malt-O-Meal's version of Lucky Charms. It is a lot cheaper that the SB cereal probably was, and it has a larger assortment of nautical marshmallow shapes. And it tastes at least as good as Lucky Charms.

    I had no idea cereal was trending downward. It's kind of disheartening as a person who grew up on having cereal in the morning, even if I do have something else for breakfast these days. I'd like to think cereal could still be kept around, but instead of a breakfast item, maybe a dessert type thing? I've seen people use it as a topping for ice cream and frozen yogurt.

Since most channels don't have that, kids didn't get ushered into getting up in the morning to rush to watch their favorite shows. Watching Wacky Races and other cartoons from that generation aren't the same. The only thing that came close was watching South park episode "Handicar". You noticed all the adults were in their jammy jams and grabbed a bowl of cereal.

When they discontinued Mega Stuf Oreo O’s, I contacted Post directly and they confirmed it was discontinued, as was Sour Patch Kids. 😞 One cereal I really miss was Smurfs cereal from the 80s. I have never been able to find a suitable replacement and I distinctly remember the flavor. It was like Strawberry and Blue Raspberry flavored and it was sooo good.
