I thought of this when I bumped into this clip on youtube.



Growing up as a kid I always remembered seeing so many cereal commercials, nowadays I never see any, let me name off a few I would see on a regular basis.

Apple Jacks
Pops
Honey Combs
Golden Grahams
Trix
Cap'n Crunch
Count Chocula
Lucky Charms
Alpha-bits
Cinnamon Toast Crunch
Frosted Flakes
Fruit Pebbles
Life

I'm sure theres a ton more out there and there's probably more that I saw when I was a kid, but you get the idea. Today, they have Total commercials, Honey Nut Cheerios, and on rare occasion an advertisement for a Kashi brand cereal. What happened to the bombardment of cereal commercials that I remember from my youth? Has anyone else noticed this? This is especially noticeable for me because I work in grocery and I see all these cereals in person all the time and I remember seeing them on TV back in the day.

Im pretty good at whistling with my hands, especially when Im holding a whistle.

Dont know if you guys saw this but some of the big cereal companies decided (or were forced, I dont remember) to stop advertising towards children if they could not meet certain health standards in their products.

An example of that is why Trix isnt shaped like fruit anymore. It affected the commercials as well.

I don't really eat those kinds of cereals anymore, but I have to say I was very disappointed when I discovered that Trix had changed from fruit shapes into generic little balls like Cocoa Puffs or Kix. What's the point in eating Trix if it isn't shaped like fruit?

trix for smix! (im sorry, couldn't resist xD)

i was wondering why they changed shapes, that's a terrible law if that's true :O. im pretty sure most people can seperate trix from real fruit, gotta love the bureaucracy.

they do still taste the same to me btw

awesome clip, fresh prince was a great show, i still watch it when it's on (despite it's dated wardrobe lol)
