Title: Which one would you bring back?

Saw this on Twitter. Thought it might be fun.
What long gone cereal would you bring back from the grave?

I'd probably say the Nintendo cereal.  I don't think I ever got it as a kid, I might've been too young at the time it was around to be eating it, but I like the idea that they pushed it as the NCS..."Nintendo Cereal System" lol

I have never tried any of these, so from purely a asthetic standpoint.  I'm gonna go with banana frosted flakes.  I love frosted flakes and banana flavored cereals.  So I think it'll be awesome :)

According to "Pat The NES Punk" on YouTube and others the Nintendo cereal taste was awful, or was that the Mario bros cereal? I would like to try the Dunkin Donuts cereal

Most of those cereal were just the same as a regular brand but with maybe different shapes but definiately a different box.

I recall this one disappeared around the early to mid 90s:

I don't eat cereal but I remember that one being my favorite.

They sell something similar to this at my local Kroger or dollar store can't remember the brand though :-\, it has the same ingredients and, I assume same flavor.

I didn't care for it too much, it was vary sweet but I know for a fact they have this cereal (only not the same box cover or possibly  the same brand) at at least one of my local stores that sell groceries

Holy shit, I used to eat OJ’s. Totally forgot about them until I saw this pic.
I also remember eating C3POs, Pac-Man, Mr T (because I’m not a fool :D), ET, and Donkey Kong. Might have eaten Smurf Berry Crunch once.

BRING BACK OJS!  ;)
Also Donkey Kong.

The ONLY cereal from my childhood that left a lasting impression is Rainbow Brite cereal- and I only ever had it once.

Maybe Total Corn Flakes, although I don't know if that's actually out of production or just hard to find.

Yummy Mummy.  Hell, bring back Fruit Brute too.

A few years back they re-issued both Yummy Mummy and Fruit Brute along with the other three Monster cereals they put out every Halloween.

As for that list, the only one I remember eating and liking is Smurf Berry Crunch. I'd bring that one back along with Pac-Man cereal because Pac-Man.

Neither, quite frankly. I enjoyed some of these as a kid, but these kind of cereals, aside from the loads of sugar they're packed with, are no longer appealing to me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like most of them are just pop culture tie-ins, and not really unique varieties of cereal. So most of them probably still exist, only by a different name.

Precisely.  And for that reason the only real answer is Nut N Honey Crunch.

The only one that "know" from that list is the TMNT, never tasted but wouldn't mind to do it years later, when I was a kiddo loved to collect all the stuff from them, some day a friend gave me an empty box of that cereal, those where some amazing moments, each item was so precious to me  :'(
