This caramel-coated rice cereal was similar in appearance to Kellogg's Rice Krispies. It was nicknamed "the candy-kissed rice cereal."

Company Description: Founded by C.W. Post, the company began in 1895 in Battle Creek, Michigan under the name Postum Cereals. Their first product was a coffee substitute called Postum. The first breakfast cereal to come from the company was Grape-Nuts in 1897... Read on and see all cereals from Post

I also heard about this cereal from the Gunsmoke OTR. So I did the Google thing and found this page. I would like to see a close up Pic of the Actual Cereal so I could perhaps compare it to something made in the 60s / 70s era when I ate cereal. I am simply curious about it.

I recall a Kellogg's Krinkles cereal, but it wasn't rice. It was wheat or bran or something and it was shredded. I loved that stuff. Wish it was still around.

This cereal is AMAZING. And the clown is a great mascot. A great way to get people to remember your brand. I absolutely love everything about this cereal. If only they would bring it back.

Best cereal clown ever. Kids won't forget Mr. SugarKrinkles, as he will forever haunt their dreams, both waking and sleeping. May as well have drawn the Pennywise teeth.

Hi - just heard about these off of Gunsmoke, as mrsohio notes. Never heard of them before. Hope I can forget the clown.

This was the cereal that sponsored ''Gunsmoke'' the radio series.

Wow. That clown is some scary (swear removed). Scariest cereal mascot I've ever seen.
