Or the anticipation of mailing away cereal box tops and patiently waiting for it to show up in the mail, which felt like forever. When is it that we lose that innocence and why. Sure we have to grow up eventually, but why do we have to get rid of that childhood excitement?

I remember in the late 60’s I believe, it used to be called super sugar crisp and then in the 80’s I think, it became golden crisp, when a lot of manufacturers took the word sugar out of the description. Thanks Dave, great job as always!
Oh, gosh, I choked up a little when I saw John Denver.
Interesting fact in Canada we still call it sugar crisp. They changed it in the states as using the word sugar in a cereal name turned away parents
Crispy Wheats and raisins and Ohs were among my favorite cereals back in the day. I didn't realize how much I missed them until seeing their commercials

I don't care what anybody says here, the '80s were the greatest time to be a kid and to grow up in that era. We had all back then, like seriously we did. Cereals with prizes in them, the cracker Jack boxes with prizes. Also you can't forget about the awesome music, the cartoons, the movies, the tv shows, the games and action figures and so much more. One of my favorite all times prizes to get out of the cereal boxes was the wacky crawl walkers, they were sticky they felt weird and they were cool how they came down on the walls too, after you threw them up there. it's so weird how time passed us all, very fast and very quick From 1980s to 1990s to 2022. Back then we were all young teenagers or young kids, and now look at us all adults now. Too bad we can't go back in time
I was born in 1981 and it's amazing how many of these commercials I do remember from the late '80s.

I remember watching so many cereal commercials in the 80s. Fruity Pebbles, Trix (I always wanted the rabbit to win, even though I knew he wouldn't), Fruit Loops, Cap'n Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Lucky Charms, Cookie Crisp, all had classic cartoon characters and story arcs attached to them. Nowadays I think they were a little too rough about saying only kids should be eating the cereal (Trix and Golden Crisp namely), but I like looking back on them with nostalgia.
