Andrew sent me a picture of this box some two years ago, but it was pretty blurry so I resolved to try and find one in a store, but never did. In the meantime I found some good scans online via Mr Breakfast and Flickr user Jason B. This is a limited edition box of “Rockin’ Xtreme Colors!” Fruity Pebbles with “amped up fruity take!” On the back you get a full color illustration of the Bedrock Extreme Skate Park. – Thanks to Andrew Wahl for the tip

This Canadian box of Cheerios has been for sale by Masteraddams for a very long time now, unless he’s got a stock of them somewhere. In your box of Canadian Cheerios you could get one of six possible trading cards/sticker with illustrations of the Skateboard Gang characters from the mid 80’s toy series. The Skateboard Gang figures were attached to pull-back and go skateboards. They’re surprisingly expensive to acquire these days, routinely going for $15-$20, so collecting the whole set would be a hefty purchase.

Cereal toys used to be kind of interesting, or at least they held the promise of being something cool, which leads us to this balloon powered skateboard. Unless it was heavy and the balloon was really small, this collection of future landfill probably didn’t roll at all. More likely it just sort of turned over sideways and skipped across the the floor. They really went all out for these, 6 designs available in 4 colors. The seller is asking an insane $50 for this (cut up) 70’s era Cookie Crisp cereal box. Cookie Crisp was first introduced by Ralston Purina, so it must have been a salvo in the war to name cereals unlike anything remotely healthy. (See Super Sugar Crisp)

It’s Sugar Bear from Super Golden Crisp, originally called Super Sugar Crisp. Some time in the 80’s Post decided that a cereal with the word “sugar” in the name wasn’t a good idea. Sugar Crisp commercials would often include an brief environmental message on the storyline in the 70’s during the first wave of popular ecology awareness. All that before invariably giving someone a “super vitamin punch.” Maybe that’s why I was anemic as a child, not enough Super Sugar Crisp. This cereal box with a skateboard themed picture hunt game dates to 1992. For “extra fun” you can try timing the game. Whee! – Thanks to BPA for the tip.
