Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsDo you remember a favorite cereal that they no longer produce?
Do you think they would taste the same to you now as they did then?
I miss Puffa Puffa Rice something fierce. It's been over 45 years, but I still think I remember the flavor and crackle like it was yesterday.

Then there's Buc Wheats. This was my father's favorite cereal at the time. Why this is no longer a thing is a mystery to me.
And this one was absolutely craven. I'd pay good money to bring this cereal back for one month.
If you could resurrect one favorite cereal from your past, which would it be?

(9,973 posts)No way would they taste the same now - NONE of the cereals I eat now are the same as they used to be. Some are completely different, like Special K.

(3,471 posts)Going off on a tangent, there's a webcomic called Breakfast of the Gods that is essentially a Watchmen-like story played out by classic cereal mascots.

(9,259 posts)Soooo good and healthy too. Had a unique malt-y taste. My mom liked it too so we never had to beg for it. Was hoping theyd bring it back during the oat bran fad but no. People have written and begged Post to bring it back.
