From: General Mills
Introduced in 1989


In 2008, Total's official website described Total Raisin Bran like this:

"These lightly sweetened raisins and whole grain flakes come with 100% of the Daily Value of 11 important vitamins and minerals. This means you're getting a healthy dose of nutrition with a healthy dose of flavor. Wake up your taste buds every morning with the delicious taste that gets you going in no time."

When the cereal was introduced in 1989, a television commercial described it like this:

"Introducing Post Raisin Bran. Other raisin brans have only one-fourth as much vitamin nutrition and eating a raisin bran with only one-fourth the vitamin nutrition you could get is like having Mount Rushmore with only one president. New Total Raisin Bran is the only raisin bran with 100% of 11 vitamins and minerals. Total nutrition has finally come to raisin bran."

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

Was better than Kellogg's or Post's Raisin Bran. Better texture to the flakes. Wish it would come back again.

I can't find Total Raisin Bran in any store nor anywhere on the internet. We've tried all the other brands but none are as good as Total.

Best Raisin Bran. The flakes stay crisp and the raisins are moist. All other Raisin Brans I've tried, the flakes quickly become mush and their raisins are hard.
