I think the name is too synonymous with the '70s to be brought back under
that name. We called ourselves Freaks, and thought things were Freaky, and
Frank Zappas Album was Freak Out. Now The term Freak had fallen into a state
of, if not disrepair, then disparagement. The only way you will here the
wors Freak used today is in the context that my Black friends used it then.
To be a Superfreak, be Freakish, or to Get You Freak On. All sexual terms
meaning to be or become uninhibited, no holds barred sexually, bordering on
the perverse.

Ralston PURINA makes cereal?! I buy Purina Cat Chow for my CAT! Scary. I've never
seen Purina anywhere other than the cat food aisle of my grocery store.

Tiny, have you seen it here? Or have I just been unobservant (which wouldn't be
surprising!)

Jamie, Purina *used* to make cereals. Here's the info from this GREAT site:

http://www.geocities.com/EnchantedForest/3278/cereal-ralston.html

"On January 31, 1997 Ralcorp Holdings sold their branded ready-to-eat
cereal business to General Mills. This included its core Chex and Cookie
Crisp brands, along with trademark and technology rights for these branded
products. Ralcorp still makes private-label cereals."

The site has tons of cereal box images (most of them the actual box or just
the character in question), looks like Purina concentrated on TV/cartoon links.
The list starts with good old Freakies from the early '70s.

Cheers,

TD

I've spent a lot of time the last couple of days at this great site. I remember the
Kelloggs, Post, General Mills, and of course the Quaker Oats brands that I was
subjected to as a kid. If it had a cartoon on the box, we weren't allowed to eat it
for breakfast, save and except Count Chocula for an after school treat. But I don't
ever remember seeing any Ralston/Purina here.

They did at one time. The "folks at Checkboard Square" were almost always
mentioned in many commercials over the years for Chex...

Hmm ... you could be right about that, Jamie, maybe they never crossed
the border. I honestly couldn't tell you where I would have eaten Freakies
cereal, for example, it may have been on a visit to the States.
