Fruitful Bran
Introduced in 1983
This cereal was described in a 1984 commercial as "a feast of raisins, dates and apples... all from Sun-Maid... it's the taste you've been looking for... discover Kellogg's Fruitful Bran... discover just how good a fiber cereal can taste." In 1983, the cereal also included peaches.
In 1990, the Center for Science in the Public Interest measured the amount of fruit in Fruitful Bran and found that a 14-ounce box contained less than 1.4 ounces of fruit.

Woman: I'd say something's very different here.
A fantastic light beams down from above. Their surrounding turn into to a type of heaven. They join a group drawn to a giant box of Fruitful Bran.
Narrator: That something is Kellogg's Fruitful Bran.
The scene becomes a majestic feast.
Narrator: Fruitful Bran is a feast of raisins, dates and apples... all from Sun-Maid... it's the taste you've been looking for... discover Kellogg's Fruitful Bran... discover just how good a fiber cereal can taste."
The man and woman each sample spoonfuls of the cereal. They smile at one another.

Please bring it back! Nothing around has the same taste as Fruitful Bran in a muffin. I used to make them all the time. My children who are now in their 40's were just mentioning how they missed those muffins.
