"Hello! I'm selling a complete set of SEALED 2013 General Mills Monster Cereals w/ Retro Boxes! Never opened, cereal still inside and all. Also a box of 2017 Halloween Crunch! Link to FB Marketplace Listing, and I will work-out shipping with anyone interested. Thanks!"

"Hi Mr Breakfast - A new cereal coming soon From KELLOGG'S and LITTLE DEBBIE and it's called Oatmeal Creme Pie Cereal."

"I have a Smurf-Berry Crunch Cereal Box. Wondering what it might be worth."

"Hi! One of these times, I'll get this RIGHT!! My favorite cold cereals were Alpha-Bits, Cocoa Puffs, Frosted Flakes (Kellogg's), Sugar Pops, and Wheaties Bran with Raisin Flakes. If I could, I'd go back to 1962 and stay there FOREVER. Be free. Mark"

"I have two Jeff Gordon unopened boxes of Frosted Mini-Wheats from 1994 and 1995. I also have a 1989 NBA World Champions Cereal Box for Whole Grain Wheaties. What are they worth?"

"Hello - anyone know where I may find a Jessie Diggins Wheaties Box? They are relatively recent, so this might not be the right place to ask. Thought I'd try."

"JayEBrez – I am very interested in buying the 100+ Wheatie collection but cannot seem to find your contact info. You can reach me at lolajselby2020(at)gmail(dot)com. Let me know!"

"I have an unopened Fedorov Crunch box, a unopened Stevie's Stars box, and a unopened Wheaties 1998 Women's Olympic Gold Ice Hockey team."

"[Continued…] I'm not so sure that THE GREAT AMERICAN CEREAL BOOK is right — I saw something (in Internet Archive) about this cereal having been introduced in the 1950s (which I find very plausible). I can say that this cereal's name didn't ring a bell with me — I've been hoping that I'd remember some long, lost wonderful cereal name — that I'd go, "Oh, yeah!!!That's what it was!!! I haven't thought of THAT name for FOREVER!!!!!" Tentatively, I believe that the cereal that Teri and Deb-6 and I so very fondly remember is or was POST BRAN & PRUNE FLAKES. I suspect that it was introduced before 1964 — my guess would be that it was introduced in the 1950s (just a guess, for now!). If it's the right cereal, then the raisin-colored discs that I definitely and distinctly remember weren't dried raisins — they were dried prunes (plums) — prune flakes (which, unless I'm dreadfully wrong, were flat like discs). And yes!! MrBreakfast.com's Cereal Project has a web page for this cereal!!! I'm not sure that I've come up with the right answer. I'd say that the odds are about 50/50. I'll keep (those of) you (who care) POSTed…. I hope that I've made at least one individual happy. Take care, Mark"

"Hi, everybody! I've been trying hard to identify the delicious cereal that Mom served us when we were little, in the early (and possibly middle) 1960s (Comment #953, below). Well…the book — THE GREAT AMERICAN CEREAL BOOK — that I've been waiting on finally arrived today!!!! I'm not sure, but I think that — at long, long last — I've identified the cereal that I (and Teri and Deb-6) loved so much. I think that it was POST BRAN & PRUNE FLAKES. However, according to MrBreakfast.com's Cereal Project, this cereal was introduced in 1970. If that's really true, then it can't be the cereal that I so fondly remember from my childhood. But, according to THE GREAT AMERICAN CEREAL BOOK, POST BRAN & PRUNE FLAKES was launched in 1964. If so, it could be the cereal that Teri and Deb-6 and I have been trying to identify!! (I think that it is.) There are a number of video-recordings of POST BRAN & PRUNE FLAKES TV ads in YouTube and in Internet Archive. I grew up in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s (having been born in 1955). The TV ads that I've seen (and heard) so far are certainly of/from the early or middle 1960s — they're not from 1970. (I'd bet real money on it.) Still…I've always remembered eating this wonderful-tasting cereal when I was very young — no later than in the very early 1960s (1960, 1961, and 1962). [To be continued…]"
