Was my favorite cereal as a kid. Seemed like it wasn't around very long.

I remember Triple Snack as a kid and it was GREAT! I was really disappointed when Kellogg's stopped making it. The commercials for it on YouTube feature a kid in a pith helmet singing to a giraffe, which I never saw. The commercial I DO remember seeing featured the giraffe singing. His song began, "I'm sticking my neck out for new Kellogg's Triple Snack..." That version of the commercial seems to be lost. Like Triple Snack itself, I sure do wish I could experience that commercial again!

I remember an elephant being pictured on box (makes sense, no?) and the cereal itself having only peanuts and Sugar-Crisp-like puffed rice.

Can it be found anywhere anymore? I have fading memories of it being wonderful.

I can verify from my razor-sharp childhood memory that Boo Boo Bear was indeed pictured for a time on Triple Snack boxes.

I ONLY remember Boo-Boo Bear being on the box and only ever seeing this in the single-serve box collections. Loved this cereal!

I have always remembered that as a small child my favorite cereal had a giraffe on the box and had peanuts in it, but then they stopped making it. I've thought about it over the years, wondering if I would ever be able to find out what it was. I just googled it and found it! This is so surreal! It was discontinued in 1965 when I was 6 years old, but I never forgot how much I loved that cereal with the peanuts in it!

Great right out of the box or amazing with milk. I'm going to get hold of some peanuts, Corn Pops and Honey Snacks and try mixing my own for breakfast this weekend.

Loved it as a kid and no one remembered what it was. I thought they were Spanish peanuts, not Virginia peanuts, was I right?

I so loved Triple Snack when I was a youngster. And yes, I too used to eat it dry, right out of the box. I can even recall filling Baggies with the stuff, as a sort of "trail mix", when my friends and I used to explore the nearby woods. Sadly, my little sister favored Cocoa Puffs and Cap'n Crunch, both of which I hated, while little sis hated Triple Snack because she didn't like the peanuts. Consequently, Triple Snack was a rare commodity in our house. (I 'always' knew she was your favorite, Mom!) Emotional scares aside... Now with every kid seemingly allergic to peanuts, and peanuts being declared deadly choking hazards, there's little likelihood of them ever bringing it back. It's gone to join Mister Salty Pretzel Sticks, and Hoffman Sodas, in the realm of fondly remembered foods from days gone by.

I fondly remember discovering this during breakfast one summer at Camp Don Bosco near St. Louis. It came in one of those small, single-serve perforated boxes (that could be opened and used as a bowl for milk - at least in theory). I've been looking for it ever since! Thank you!

I loved this cereal and remember it with such fond memories. How I wish it was still in production. In fact, I googled "Triple Snack". I thought that, perhaps, I had only imagined it!

Loved this cereal! I also remember it as Triple Treat - at least that's what was called it as kids.

I remember a commercial where the giraffe sang 'as far as I can see / and I can see to there and back / Triple Snack is right for me / and I am right for Triple Snack.'

Here's how to bring it back yourself. It's easy! Just take some UNSALTED peanuts, some CORN POPS cereal and some HONEY SMACKS cereal. Mix it all together. That's all there is to it!

This was my favorite cereal as a kid... was so sad when it was discontinued. Glad to find this page... Whenever I asked anyone if they remembered a cereal with peanuts in it, they looked at me like I was crazy! Was starting to think maybe I was! Just might whip up a homemade batch to see what the grandkids think of it!

I remember, as a toddler, sitting in my footy pajamas on the kitchen floor in front of the heat register, eating the peanuts out of the big box of Triple Treat. As I recall, I was not even old enough to speak! For years, I wondered if my memory was something that happened in reality, or if it was just a childhood dream. Years later, I discovered that it WAS a real cereal and that my memory was based in reality after all!

I was born in 1959, and I, too, remember this cereal being offered in the variety package. I remembered the giraffe and of course the peanuts, but I did not know the name. I've been searching for the name for years. THANKS!

My favorite cereal when I was growing up... "Triple Snack will get you - if you don't (I won't) watch out." Yum! Thanks for bringing back the memories.

My brother and I have been trying to remember this jingle for years and what it was for - finally found this website and then the jingle on YouYube. Never tried the cereal but love the ad!

I also remember this cereal from when I was young. It was in the snack pack. I think it was a treat to have it as my parents didn't allow sugar stuff. I will always think of my child years when I see this site. Missing those times so long ago.

The jingle, as I remember it, went like this: "If you (and I do) like peanuts / Then you'll (and I do) like Triple Snack / Triple Snack will get ya / If you don't (and I won't) watch out!"

I remember having this cereal in the infamous Kel-Bowl-Pac at camp in Vermont. I loved it! I never saw the large boxes in the supermarket in NYC, I vaguely remember it being available in a variety pack of single servings. Ironically, Kellogg's has a listing on its website for you to make your own, using 1 cup of each (Sugar Smacks has been replaced by "Honey Crunch")

I was born in 1959 and this was my favorite cereal. Just remembered that it had peanuts and a giraffe on the box. It would come in the single serve variety packs. I was trying to explain what it was to my family and glad I found this site. May buy some current day Corn Pops and Honey Smacks, add some roasted peanuts and see if its good as I thought, just for kicks.

My oldest sister and I both remember and loved this cereal, I too wish they would bring it back. I think the little jingle went something like this... If you don't like peanuts, watch out for Triple Snack, Triple Snack will get you, if you don't watch out. Does any one out there know for sure?

Have you found the ad with the jingle for Triple Snack? I ate it as a kid and still remember the song but my kids think I'm making it up. I'd love to show them the ad.

"If you don't like peanuts, watch out for Triple Snack... Triple Snack will get you, If you don't watch out!!" There was also a counterpoint melody and lyric "If you don't (I do)... like peanuts..."

First, I thought that Triple Snack was just only a part of Snack Pack, Variety Pack and Jumbo Assortment until it started hitting the shelves in full-size boxes. Weird, wasn't it.

It is still my favorite cereal. I make it by adding all of the former ingredients (i.e., sugar corn pops, sugar smacks + peanuts). The only difference is that I use honey roasted peanuts these days. It is still the best cereal (in my judgment of taste) ever made. Try it with honey roasted peanuts (adds some additional honey nut sweetness).

I LOVED this cereal when it came out! I guess it was short lived though. Of course I never at it with milk! It was meant to be eaten dry as a snack, I think. Hence the name!
