90s’ kids grew up in the golden age of breakfast cereals, with a plethora of sugary confections to choose from each morning. It brought us immense joy when we found a toy hidden in the box or a magical spoon that turned colors with a splash of milk, making the most important meal of the day the best time of day.
Now when you walk down the cereal aisles of the grocery store, you’ll see boxes with names like “Gluten-Free O’s” and “Peanut Butter Puffs” mixed in with classics such as Froot Loops and Apple Jacks. Cereals in the 90s just hit different.
Today’s society is all about everything in moderation, but to be honest, there’s nothing fun about eating health-conscious cereals. And also, how can you expect kids to actually enjoy breakfast time when it’s simply not as fun? And where is the snazzy box art? Cereals based on TV shows are so 1990. Bring them back!
Here are 13 forgotten ’90s cereal brands that people (or at least kids) loved!
1. Oreo O’s
2. Cookie Crisp
