I only had the natural fruit flavor version. I'd eat a whole box at a time wet or dry. It was a lemony fruity sweeter version of Kix. Loved it. Think about it often.

I do not ever remember trying this cereal during my childhood. However, I finally got the chance to try it while I was in college. After trying it, I have to say that the taste was really great! Therefore, I would also like for Body Buddies to come back on the market!

This was my favorite. And it was out in the very late 70s because my grandfather bought it for me when I spent the summer on his farm in NC and he died in 1980.

Best cereal EVER! Bring back Body Buddies!

I think your introduction date might be wrong. It says "Introduced in 1983." It was out in 1979.

I feel that they should put Body Buddies back on the market. They should have never ever taken it off the market. Bring it back! Bring it back!- Renea Ross-Roberts of Winston Salem, N.C.

These cereal was my personal favorite when I was a kid. I would love for my child to try them. They were healthy and tasted great. Please put them back on market.

I have a vague memory of trying the brown sugar flavor in an orange-brown box. Kinda like Kix, but much better since Kix is pretty flavorless.

OMG, I soooo loved this cereal. I remember the day my mom told me it was discontinued, I was so crushed, that yes, I shed tears. What can I say, it was great cereal! They don't make 'em like they used :(

I was just on another site reading about Donkey Kong Crunch (after watching vintage youtube videos of ColecoVision's Zaxxon) which suddenly brought me back to my youth in the early 80's befor I became a musician and forgot about the fun stuff we had. lol! I always ask people if they had this cereal thinking I wasn't the only one who LOVED it. The people I'd ask would look at me like I was on fire with that 'you're kidding look'. They NEVER experienced this awesome breakfast cereal! You haven't lived unless this was in your bowl at least once in your life. Like Carrie said, like Kix, but better. The box was loaded with games and kewl mail away premiums. I need to write a book. Those were the best times EVER! Long live the memories!

This is the only cereal I vividly remember from my childhood. I recall they were like Kix but sweeter and my mom would get them for me because she didn't like me adding sugar to my Kix. I wouldn't add sugar to Body Buddies because they were sweet enough as they were. I remember doing the puzzles on the back of the box while eating and I seem to recall having a jigsaw puzzle with an image of the box front. I remember being sad when Body Buddies were no longer available.

Loved Body Buddies. Another premium they offered (with a few box tops): a personalized spoon with your name engraved on the handle. I still have mine.

I remember this cereal as a kid, my mom would never buy me pre-sweetened cereal, but I would sometimes go to my older sister's house and once in a while she would let me and my twin have some... I was in heaven. I wish they would bring this cereal back.

YES BODY BUDDIES! Bring them back they were great! Couldn't believe it when I no longer could find them on the shelves. I thought it to be quite sad. Not only did we eat Body Buddies for breakfast but I also crushed a bunch and breaded my chicken and other meats with them. Man that really tuned out good. Poultry was the best.

This was one of the only kids' cereals that my mother would willingly buy for us. The stuff wasn't around long enough for her to do so more than a few times, but it must've had some sort of impact on me because I remember it nearly 30 years later!

I can't believe I found this cereal, nobody I've asked has ever heard of it, and the box looks just as I remember! My sister and I hated the cereal so much, that my mom gave it to the neighbor kids!

I was about 12 years old and remember thinking this cereal would make me more popular and fit. It didn't, but that's okay.

I remember seeing this at Krogers in the early 80s. I never tried it, but the box was cool.
