Awwwwwww . . .
Nobody but me seems to recall Pink Elephants. I LOVED those things!!
I remember them from about '68 or '69 in Canada. They tasted like
Lucky Charms, as though the marshmallow taste was mixed in with the
O's.

The Freakies, who lived in the Freakies tree! The all-time coolest cereal
mascots...I showed my daughter the characters as they now appear on a website
(sorry I lost the URL) and she instantly fell in love with them...I think the
site said each character represented a typical personality trait most children
have, that's why they were so well loved...
Remember those Freakie magnets? Try buying one off eBay now!
....we are the Freakies and this is our Freakies tree!!!!!!! My favorite
was Snorkledorf....the one with the long snout. So what personality does
that represent, Dixon? :-)

I also liked Team Flakes- they were just plain flakes but very tasty. Long
since gone.
I can remember there were three little island kids in a canoe on the front of
the box.
Our Safeway carries Quisp and it tastes as good as I remember!

I don't recall the pink elephants company. Hey, it's great to know I'm
not hallucinating, thanks, Marlene!!
I still see Cap'n Crunch but I haven't seen Peanut Butter Crunch in a while.
I never saw the vanilla-flavored.

Yeah, and they also came out with one that had some weird artificial red berries
in it too. I can't remember what they called the berries, though. I think they
were called Crunch Berries.

Dawna, the only Pink Elephant thing I can recall is that awful pink popcorn,
wasn't there an elephant on the box? Cheap and nasty sweet popcorn ...
that I ate by the fistful, of course! The cereal sounds like before my time
in Canada (got here in '72), did it last long?

What a GREAT quote, Tiny!!
Pink E's were gone pretty quickly, as I recall. By 72, they were
gonga. Hey, we moved to the US in 73. Veddy Intuh-destink!!
And who could forget pink, sweet, tastes-like-the-cardboard-box
popcorn!!!

Great. Now I'm never going to be able to not think of them.

I can't remember if anyone mentioned this, but do you remember a
pre-sweetened version of Chex cereal called Sugar Chex? It had a picture of
Casper on the box.

It was called Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs. I remember in the
commercials they tried to get the machine to laugh. His laughing would
produce the boxes of cereal.

Jean La Fitte's Cinnamon Crunch (He was the Pirate)
Nilla Crunch (White frosted puffs, shaped like Peanut Butter Crunch)
Punch Crunch (Fruit Punch flavored, had a parrot on the box, I think, or a
pink elephant)
Choco Crunch (From the 80's)
That's all I can remember, except the following seasonal versions:
Home Run Crunch (With Baseballs)
Christmas Crunch (Red and Green Crunch Berries)
Ooops! All Berries!
And all new Space Cosmic Crunch, with some green powder to put in the milk.
Anybody remember any others?
