Anyone remember the cereal Quisp? I didn't realize you could still get
it... I'm still bummed that Post Toasties is no longer around. I liked
that better than Corn Flakes.


"In the late 1970s, Quisp was discontinued due to low sales.[3] It was
brought back in the mid 1980s, then again in the 1990s and in 2001, where it
was relaunched as the "first Internet cereal".[4] Consumers were encouraged
to visit the Quisp Web site to view animated endings to cartoons on the back
of the cereal box. From then on, Quisp remained in limited distribution,
with Quaker Oats distributing the product in "guerrilla displays" that would
appear in a store and last until the product sold out.[1] Even in the late
2000s, it could occasionally be found in grocery and discount chains such as
Dollar General, Marc's and Food Lion.

Through at least summer of 2009, Quaker Oats sold Quisp directly to the
public through an online store.
In August 2010, Super Target stores started selling Quisp. The Quisp website
featured a graphic stating, "Quisp Has Come Back to Earth! Find him at Super
Target." As of July 2011, Quisp was back in Target with an offer of three
free toys with purchase of 3 Quisp boxes each and as of Sept. 2012 it could
be found in at least some Stop & Shop stores. As of October 4, 2012, Quisp
is for sale in Pathmark grocery stores in New York City and is also being
sold in Northern New Jersey at select A&P stores. The New Providence, New
Jersey location features a large Quisp display and is seeing new popularity
with a younger generation

There was Quisp and there as Quake. My brother liked them both but he had
some kind of issues with one of them. Can't remember which one. Dr. said
he might be allergic to it so he had to stop eating it for two weeks. He
was really mad. Whatever the issue was, that wasn't the problem. I think
one was made of corn and one was made of wheat. Not sure that I tried
either one. I never was much of a cereal eater.

When I was a little kid, I think I ate Cocoa Puffs, Cocoa Krispies, once in
a while Rice Krispies and then whenever they came out with it, Special K.
For a time I bought Honeycomb but only because I wanted The Archies records
that came on the back of the box. I wouldn't eat the cereal so my mom
wouldn't let me buy it any more.

And for a time I had Cheerios in the morning. I don't think that was my
choice. My mom still feeds Cheerios to my dad. I think for some reason she
thinks they are healthy. I never liked the things. Also never liked milk
on my cereal. But my mom insisted that I have it. So I would put a tiny
amount of milk in the bowl. Then doctor the Cheerios with sugar until my
mom noticed how much I had taken and then pull the bowl away from me. It
wasn't actually a bowl but more of a dispenser. Aqua colored plastic from
Tupperware. A flap on either end. One for pouring and one for spooning it
out. Then I would fiddle with the cereal for a while until my mom told me I
was going to be late for school. By then, the milk and the sugar would have
formed sort of a frosting and I would eat a bite or two of that and then
listen to my stomach growl all the way to school. Luckily we didn't have
cold cereal often. Mostly oatmeal.

These days I don't eat much cereal but I have realized that the bread that I
buy does not last a week. I buy a loaf once a week at Costco. The loaf I
bought today expires on the 8th. So it will be good till Thu. And then
most likely the 2-4 slices that will be left will be moldy. For a time I
could squeeze an extra day out of it but it has been horridly rainy and
damp. So on Fri. mornings I can not have my toast. I have cereal. I
mostly eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch. If for some reason I can't get that, I
will get Frosted Flakes, Corn Flakes or Cap'N Crunch. I do think there was
a brief period as a teen when I ate peanut butter Cap'N Crunch. Not sure
why I stopped. And when I worked at the golf course I ate Froot Loops or
Trix from a bag. But they kept changing them and I no longer like them.

I miss peanut butter flavored Cap'n Crunch. There were also a vanilla
and cinnamon flavor CC that I liked. I loved that stuff when I was a
kid, back when cereal companies weren't afraid to put the word "sugar"
on the front of the box in big primary colors.

They still sell PB Cap'n Crunch. It snot the same thing though. The old
stuff had an intense PB coating that gave the cereal more mouth feel and
weight. The new stuff is lighter in weight and taste. OTOH, the old
stuff was so good that you could cut the taste by 20% and it's still
pretty good. :-)
