Anybody remember the ice cream cones cereal?

[mbstuff]

Anybody remember the ice cream cones cereal? It's one of those things I remember about once every other year and say to myself, "Damn, that was some good stuff."

I only ate it for a short period, a year, maybe two at most, because they stopped selling it. This was sometime in the 80s I think. My memory is bad, but I do remember one thing: it was fucking good.

Actually, thinking back on it, the loss of the ice cream cones cereal from the market started my long steady decline in nutrition. Now I don't even eat breakfast.

Anybody remember any detailed info on this? There's not much on the web besides one review. If somebody gave me a 20-year-old box of it, I might eat it. Damn I'm starting to salivate.

I shall now put the purchase of the ice cream cereal recipe and factory on my to-do list, which includes such notable items as ownership of a baseball team and winning the pulitzer/nobel/hugo awards.

Thats all kids need is a reason to top their cereal with ice cream. I wonder what would happen if a lactose intollerant person ate a bowl of it.....

[Graystone]

I have never heard of it but I did a search and found this. All the info is in the last two paragraphs.

Before you get excited they website says 2004 so I don't think that it's still around.

I think this is what you are looking for. You'll have to eat a nearly 20-year-old box of cereal if you want your fix.

It was quite good. I think I remember it being quite a sugary-er (yeah I made that up) version of Cookie Crisp cereal (which itself was discontinued... I think).

[senorwoohoo]

I never had this cereal but it sounds mighty tasty.

Also, I think Cookie Crisp is still being made. I saw it the last time I went to the grocery store.

[neudog]

I don't remember it. Does anyone remember Sprinkle Spangles Ceral?

I remember Ice Cream Cones. What I hated was that it was mostly cones and hardly any ice cream pieces (the part that I thought tasted better). I still liked it though

I also remember Sprinkle Sprangles, it was good too

Another one I remember is Dunkin Donuts Cereal. I guess the late 80's/early 90's was full of junk food cereal

[judyjudyjudy]

I remember that cereal. I loved that stuff. I also loved that cereal that had the chef from the Muppets, but I remember that one didn't last very long in the market.

Are you serious? :shock: I haven't seen one around my area for the last 2 years. :cry:

Now, those capable, remember what these things were called for me: I think they were a Keebler product; they were graham cracker shelled peanuts filled with a choice of fudge or peanut butter.

Those were, in fact, delicious. I can not remember the name.

I read on some site that Mills had 'reissued' this cereal for a limited time. Not sure if that's still going on. I had it as a kid and really liked it. I checked my store for a few weeks after reading that it was being remade but never saw it. :(

Yup, Cookie Crisp is still made. And it still kicks ass. I'll buy you a box, if you want :lol:

Crap, I know what you're talking about, but I can't think of the name. I was hooked on them.

I was hooked on them, too. I can't understand why they'd be discontinued, actually. They were made of pure awesome.

Mr. Jones' Ice Cream Cones! I remember those, my favorites were the Ninja Turtles Cereal, the Nintendo Cereal and Dunkaballs Cereal.


Nintendo, it's for breakfast now...

I remember when I was really young there was this oatmeal that had these red things in it (teddy bear shaped I think) and they tasted REALLY great. Over the years I've tried the different oatmeal like the ones that had the dinosaurs and they don't even come close to the oatmeal with the red bears.

I have no idea what the oatmeal was called as this was long before I could read, I did hide my parent's car keys in the box though (my mother still doesn't let me live that one down).

Croonchy stars kicked ass. http://www.muppetcentral.com/collectibles/muppets/food.shtml


P.S.: Ecto cooler is still made. It's now Shoutin' Orange Tangergreen.

P.S.S.: Still searching for a suitable replacement for those TMNT pies.

Ya, I remember those too turtle pies too, hmm, tasty nostalgia...

[dafunkk12]

I miss Ralston's cereals. TMNT, Nintendo, (the good original) Cookie Crisp... WTF, a non-robbery-related wolf mascot now? I'm pretty sure they also had a Fruit Loops equivalent that had a much better flavor and lighter crisp.

I still have an Ecto Cooler waiting in the fridge from my order last year and its being held for a really shitty day...

I saw it mentioned on a site about 80s food while reading up on the ice cream cone cereal and Croonchy Stars. One site said it was oatmeal w/ gummy bears in it... I'm not sure if I remember this one myself.
