Remember when breakfast used to be exciting?

You know, back when it was all about collecting every Power Rangers secret ID book and when sugary marshmallow pieces and artificial colours knew no bounds.

Sure our teeth wouldn’t thank us for it now, but we’re talking about much simpler times and when people like Mr T were actively telling you that it was ‘cool’ to eat them.

Plus, check out these gem cereal TV commercials from the YouTube vaults…

 

1) Gremlins may be terrifying but they made breakfast cool

Just don’t eat them after midnight…

 

2) ET gave us a reason to call home

Why should Elliot have all the fun?

 

3) Mr T … but why no As?

They were letter T-shaped. Le dead.

 

4) Rainbow Brite made cereal beautiful again

We already coveted RB’s Colour Belt, now we totes want her cereal too.

 

5) Pac-Man NOM NOM NOM NOM forever

Whoa, we had a nightmare like this once….

 

But we’ll be glad if this one stayed in the past:

Terrifying
