From: Malt-O-Meal
Introduced in 1965


Packages of this cereal declare, "Try me... if you like Quaker Puffed Rice." Packaging often includes a large blue kangaroo named "Cool Blue" and a smaller kangaroo in his pouch named "Li'l Oaty" along with claims like "naturally cholesterol & fat free food."

Company Description: The Malt-O-Meal Company dates back to 1919 when John S. Campbell developed a hot wheat breakfast cereal he called Malt-O-Meal. The company officially adopted the name The Malt-O-Meal Company in 1953. By 1965, the company had entered the ready-to-eat non-hot breakfast sector with the introduction of Puffed Rice and Puffed Wheat cereals.... Read on and see all cereals from Malt-O-Meal

I can not find this cereal anywhere. Please tell me where I can buy it... and also Puffed Wheat. They were so delicious as a snack instead of chips.

I am no longer able to find this cereal locally, in my small town. I would sure like to get it again!

Best ingredient cereal. Lots of people with an intolerance to certain foods can eat things with this in it. Also a great savory snack food. Miss it sooooo much! Saying this cereal is gross is like saying flour is gross. Use your imagination, and make your own food! If you want it made for you, why did you buy a plain cereal.
