From: Ralston
Introduced in 1966


Mr. Waffles cereal came in both a regular and a banana variety. According to ads, "They're BOTH unusual!".

Both cereals used the tag line, "Mr. Waffles... World's First Unsinkable Cereal!"

The box described this cereal as "Tiny Toasted Waffles Sugared-Up For You!"

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"...

I remember the commercial saying, "It's unsink-sinkable because it's unsog-sogable."

My sister and I begged our mother to buy a box of Banana Mr. Waffles cereal. Of course, she refused, her reasoning being that they probably wouldn't taste very good. Finally she relented and bought a box with the warning that we would have to eat them all, even if they tasted bad. Of course, they tasted like cardboard that someone had whispered "banana" over. To her credit, upon seeing the looks of distaste on our faces, she tried a bite and, for the first and only time, let us throw them away. We went back to our mainstay, Cheerios and were pretty much content with them.

I LOVED Mr. Waffles -- both the cereal & the characters. I still have the Mr. Waffles game that my mom cut off of the back of the cereal box & mounted on a piece of wood -- complete with a spinner) in which you try to outwit Evilchaps. "You're never sunk with Mr. Waffles!"
