The Swedish Chef's Cröonchy Stars
Since Kyle wrote about Quisp, I decided to search my favorite childhood cereal, Cröonchy Stars, and find out if they're re-releasing it. Here is a short history of The Swedish Chef's cereal, Cröonchy Stars from Wikipedia:
Cröonchy Stars was a breakfast cereal that hit the shelves in 1988 and was discontinued about a year later. The box featured the Swedish Chef from The Muppet Show, who described the cereal as "cinnamonominy". The product's name is likely a pseudo-phonetic rendition of how the Chef would pronounce "crunchy." The back of the box featured ridiculous games and puzzles and a memory-type card game was included in every box.
...and the commercial:
FUN FACT: Originally, Jim Henson created the name of the cereal as "Stoopid Flakes". However, this did not sit well with Post. They renamed the breakfast cereal into Cröonchy Stars.
Sometimes I still get the taste of this stuff in my mouth. I miss it a lot.
