By odd coincidence, I saw a kid picking out that very brand on Wednesday. His mom told him he could pick out whatever he wanted. Got the feeling this "getting to choose" was a special event. He was really excited.
And he picked out Cocoa Kristin's. Mom, however, didn't look too excited.

Their advertising jingle was the same as the "Jeopardy!" theme song: "Big, big breakfasts, good, good, snacks, swing to Kellogg's Sugar Smacks." Truthfully, I didn't much like them, being a regular corn flakes fan.

I got away from the super-sweet when I was in my teens and Product 19 was on my list.

My mom bought every cereal imaginable. It's kinda weird...

I can't even remember everything. She would buy all the new stuff. It got old and sweet fast. It all kinda tasted the same to me.
