From: Ralston
Introduced in 1990


This cereal was described on the box as "Hot Wheels Frosted Oat Mag Wheels With Marshmallow Cars". It was introduced in 1990 about the same time Ralston came out with The Jetsons cereal.

Each box of Hot Wheels cereal featured an illustration of sports car driving toward a bowl of cereal, and a FREE Hot Wheels car right in the box.

Company Description: Ralston was originally part of The Ralston-Purina Company which was formed in 1902. The name Ralston stems from a minor social movement in the late 19th Century called Ralstonism - created by Webster Edgerly. Followers of the movement (about 800,000) followed the motto "Regime, Activity, Light, Strength, Temperation, Oxygen and Nature" - the first letters of which spelled out "Ralston"...

A real HOT WHEELS car was in every single box. That saved the families a little money too!

I loved this cereal as a kid - I had (and still have) a huge Hot Wheels / Matchbox car collection. The cereal was good, much like Lucky Charms, and of course it came with a toy car in every box.

As I remember, the toy cars that came in the box of this cereal were not actual Hot Wheels, but cheaper "unbranded" toys. Still, one of my favorite scale cars - an unbranded greenish-blue Lamborghini Miura came from this cereal. I still have it to this day.
