The Graveyard of Defunct Cereal Brands







Here we see more failed cereal ideas:
A Crack Bird...
A geriatric amputee pirate with bad teeth...
and
A senile geezer playing with his organ. The kid just seems to be enjoying this way too much. Well, what do you expect?
That last one IS from Canada. You can tell, because the Canadians feel obligated to put French writing on everything so that the Québécois don't get cranky and become even ruder. Come-on! Get over it! You guys lost the Seven Years War! It's over with...the Treaty of Paris 1763 says so. Sheeesh! All of you speak English, anyway. You only insist on the dual English/French labels because you know that the overly polite Anglo-Canadians will fall for your bullshit.
Anyway...what were these cereal-people thinking? Old man smell and a messy mite-infested bird are going to adequately express the importance of a nutritious breakfast?
Besides, what the hell is that thing on the bird's head?
A drooping wattle?...A renaissance painter's hat?
Your guess would be as good as mine.
As for the "sugar Corn-fetti" brand name, at least it accurately indicates the probable nutritional value.
It could be healthier for your kids to eat the "free surprise gift" since polystyrene contains more actual vitamins and fewer chemicals than confetti.
