Same cereal as last time, but this time both have box buddies in the background. (Spotted by Bob K and Robbie at Target.)

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I really miss Ralston cereal when it was owned by Purina. They at least made unique good tasting cereals for movie or TV show cereals. All we get from Kelloggs and General Mills is bland tasting cereals and the same re-used cereals from other movie or character cereals. Not sure why it’s so hard for the main cereal companies to come up with original cereal formulas and flavors like they used to. Unless, it’s just part of their plan to save on costs by re-branding the cereal and not investing in a new cereal for a movie or TV show tie-in. Either way, it sucks for us consumers. Especially, we, who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s when cereals actually tasted good.
Ralston made my favorite two cereals of all time in the 90’s…Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Spiderman Cereal…the same cereals but with different Marshmallows…Its crazy but I can still remember the day I found out they stopped making them and freaked out pretty hard but eventually got over it…UNTIL Spiderman Cereal by Ralston hit the shelves and my eyes were opened once again…but that was in the BEFORE TIME….IN THE LONG LONG AGO
