These are adorable! Count Bakula is kinda inspired!!

And by the way, Solium, appreciate you posting the original video, it's quite interesting.

Here is a "monster" compilation of monster cereal advertisements from the 70's through the 2000's.

New from FSM -- it's Solium Oh's.

Full of tasty soylent solium.

Contains extra amounts of bowel-movement-inducing ingredients and Olestra!

See the dumpster at your nearest Piggly Wiggly today!



When you eat Solium's Oh's, you'll be showing us your OH face.


That’s hilarious and gross at the same time.

I take hard cereals and ground them up into a loose powder, since my lack of teeth and broken teeth don't allow for normal eating. Just eat it with a spoon that way.

As long as you’re not snorting Fruit Loops.

Being a (sometime) Star Wars collector, these remind me of a *real* cereal which came out circa 1983; "C-3POs". It was basically a Cap'n Crunch-style cereal in a blue box with C-3PO's picture on the front, and a Star Wars character cut-out mask on the back. I still have a folded-down empty box somewhere out in the garage (complete with Luke Skywalker mask intact on the back).

So these presumably-fictional cereals pictured above aren't that far off the mark... smile


And we’re now turned this into another Star Trek/Star Wars thread.

I was about to post today in the thread heralding the breakthrough in fusion reactions at Lawrence-Livermore Labs that could change humanity's overall circumstance, but then I saw this thread about monster cereals.

Boo Berry. Boo Berry was awesome.

I am sure some right-wing zealots somewhere saw the cereal as Satanic.

Well you got your priorities right!

I forgot to say thanks for the YT vid. I love the characters and especially the animation. Good stuff.

But once in a while I will get a hankering for some garbage cereal...

For me, eating garbage cereal now is like getting hit in the face with a six-pound brick of sugar. Repeatedly.

If I could handle the beating, I would totally go for Froot Loops. Those were the holy grails, since the parents would never buy them.

I still love Capt. Crunch though I hardly ever eat sugary cereal nowadays because it upsets my stomach.

I love it too, but my problem is, it tears up the insides of my mouth. That stuff stays hard and sharp, no matter how much milk you pour on it... frown


Yeah, that was my big objection to Cap'n Crunch/Quisp

(And I agree with you, Sean, that they were, taste-wise, indistinguishable)

That reminds me of what I used to do with salt & vinegar chips when I was a kid.
I'd pour the whole bag into mom's grinder, put it in a bowl, douse it with more vinegar, then ate it with a spoon.


Wow, my brain experienced some sort of short circuit and I lost the use of one side of my face for a while, reading that! smile

Does it anger you when they change the flavor in certain cereals?

I couldn't really say. Its not something I indulge in every year. I couldn't even tell you the difference between Captain Crunch 35 years ago and today.

This is somewhat off-topic but does anyone else think the recipe for Ritz Crackers has been changed? To me they don't taste the same as they used to (to me they were more pungent, buttery, stronger flavor vs. today they seem crunchier and less flavorful).

Assuming the OP is okay with me saying so.....

I'm going to guess that it's a change in the fat. Prolly to cut costs.
