Breakfast is an 8-year-old's greatest decision of the day. Currently, your fridge is stocked with curdled milk, and your cabinets with a sad array of fiber-rich cereals, but once upon a time, you had choices. The cupboard was a veritable blur of familiar mascots, all trying to coerce you with their unique gimmicks for a spot in your cereal bowl.
The heartbreaking truth? Your one-time favorites, once a sacred part of your daily ritual, have faded away. Yes, even if you wanted a box of Urkelos, you couldn't have one, because it's since disappeared from shelves.

Nerds Cereal
Maker: Ralston
Peak Popularity: Mid 1980s
A tangy cereal seems counter-intuitive somehow, too reminiscent of sour milk. But when Nerds are your favorite candy, and they come out with a cereal that looks EXACTLY THE SAME, how can you say no? Impossible.
Nerds cereal, like the candy box, came with two different flavors, and each flavor has a separate compartment. Sure, it had some flavor issues (sour breakfast cereal, who approved this shit?) but on asthetic and sweet prizes alone, it won our favor.
