@@mgthestrange9098 They are terrible, but I really like them; I have a weird liking for some processed foods, like those microwavable hamburgers you can buy in packets. I also like cold beans and spaghetti though, so I would take my tastes as gospel. 😂
Man, I love cereal so much and grew up on the stuff! My fave is Frosties but just have them on a Saturday now. This was a nice reminder of all the cereals and the little things you got free. I used to choose my cereals based on the free insides as I called them, I wasn’t interested in the things that you needed to send away for with tokens. I miss all of these old adverts, they’re so bouncy and fun, the trouble is they keep banning what can be shown and when it’s shown booo!
I used to find the tokens & sending off for stuff quite exciting, particularly waiting for the stuff to arrive. Free insides were good too, though. Can't beat a bit of instant gratification.
Snap, Crackle and Pop pencil toppers, Frosties spokey dokeys and Return to Oz stickers in packs of Sugar Puffs, those were the days. Also, Start was a very underrated cereal!
Frosties for me, sometimes ricicles or coco-pops. (Theres a sugary theme there! Probably why my teeth are full of fillings!) PS - Thanks for the upload schedule-always perfect timing for my afternoon cuppa break!
Timed for when you're just getting in from school! 😄 Frosties were always a favourite of mine, but these days I go for boring Fruit 'n Fibre - gotta look after my digestion!
Not only was he good at playing Dr House but he was also good at narrating UK TV adverts throughout the '80s and '90s especially that Shreddies one, nice!👌
I don't ever remember any cereal in the US having a malt taste. Maybe that's what they had to replace the sugar with outside the US. I love how the Rice Krispies mascots were portrayed as superheroes in the UK. Even when they're supposed to be the same cereal, the UK versions are practically health food.
Ah yes, a scrumptious bowl of cereal sounds good right about now(don't matter if it's for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner. Hell, it's a perfect snack too). 👍🏽😎👍🏽
"Ha ha! Hunger Strikes!" 😃 Nice to see that again on the Shredded Wheat advert. Used to enjoy Kelloggs Start . These days I eat Cinnamon Squares and Honey Nut Corn Flakes for breakfast.
Many cereals have way too much added sugar. I like cereals but take care to choose types with minimal or no added sugar. Weetabix is not too bad with 4.4% sugar [total of natural and added sugar], but their mini-Weetabix have almost QUADRUPLE that amount. Best check the label before you buy. Sometimes reduced or no-added-sugar equivalents are available from the health food shop.
Still can't beat a full English breakfast..😋
Nah, I can’t eat anything like that first thing in the morning. 🤢 It’s cereal for me! ☺️🌅
Funnily enough, I haven't found any ads for full english yet. 🤪
@@RetroSteveUKthe only singular product of that I can think of are those terrible all day breakfast in a tin that’s mostly beans. 😬

@@RetroSteveUK I think that plastic toys inside are now banned, but IDK if this because of a coking hazard or to avoid plastic pollution.

I also remember liking Start. A bit short-lived, if I remember.

Unless they're coated in sugar and cocoa, ie. Coco Pops. 🤤

@@mattw8332 That little Shreddies hunger character stayed in my head for years, so yeah it's definitely nice to see it again.
My girl was brought up on boiled eggs. And soldiers! Occasionally... very occasionally... I let her have Coco Pops (they turn the milk brown!)
