"Goodness in Sugar-Toasted Oats 'N Wheat"

This cereal was described on one box as "The Sugar-Toasted Oat And Wheat Cereal."

A 1959 (or 1960) TV ad starring Rocky and Bullwinkle described the cereal like this: “Never fear... Jets are here... the cereal that gives you Jet energy (and) helps you win.”

Company Description: Officially created in 1928, General Mills traces it's history back to the 1860's and the ownership of two flour mills. Since then, the company has become the world's 6th largest food company - marketing to over 100 countries... Read on and see all cereals from General Mills

I used to love them, but my little brother refused to eat them. He was scared they would make him start flying through the air.

I use to sit in front of the TV and eat them right out of the box.

I remember Jets cereal, but don't remember any balls. I just remember little jets. Anyway, it was a delicious cereal, my favorite.

My favorite cereal of all time - wish they would bring it back. I can still remember the taste of the original round version. Miss that cereal very much.

Although it was the best cereal ever, I am sure that it was loaded with sugar and everyone decided sugar was a bad thing. So I am sure that is why it disappeared. Loved it though and my mom used to make Peanut Butter Marshmallow Jets for treats!

Loved this and would love to see it return. Is there a anything today that tastes like it? Also, am I correct in remembering this advertised as 'Jets are for boys'?
