I went through a phase where I was really into collecting old cereal boxes and learning about the history of the cereal industry. I still find the cereal biz really interesting (check out the book Cerealizing America by Scott Bruce and Bill Crawford), but I gave up on collecting cereal boxes. I have an old Pink Panther Flakes box, and I got a Quisp box and a Quake box and a few others, but it's something I just stopped pursuing for some reason.
This site collects some great cereal boxes and other advertising geared towards kids (cereal, candy, ice cream, etc). Corn Crackos cereal: so it's corn, but it has cinnamon too? And what kind of a mascot is that? A bird? A red testicle with feet? And there are so many jokes to make about Fudgetown that...well, I won't make them here. Nestle's Keen Chiller is an interesting product, and I'm wondering what it means by "presweetened without sugar." Was that with saccharin or Sweet and Low or something? Anyone know what the heck Astro Jets Shoes were?
Oh, that's Fleegle from The Banana Splits on the box of Honey Smacks? It looks like some robotic killer dog clown, but I haven't seen the show in years so...
