Help me remember this cereal!

You have been warned!
I was in the cereal aisle recently and suddenly had a flash back to an awesome cereal, probably around late 90's, I used to love and now I have a massive craving for it.
All I remember is that it was squares, they weren't flat, they were puffed up a bit, they didn't have anything inside them like blueberry wheats do, in fact I don't think they were made of wheat, they were more sugary than that. Kind of yellowey in colour.

Oh god they were so good. Probably discontinued now which is fine but it's driving me mad!

A sideline, but I believe that the golden nuggets bloke was a prospector - not a pirate. Hence his discovery of "golden" nuggets?

As you were.

"Bring me honey, bring me aaaaaaappples, bring me hazelnuts, bring me wheat. Bring me good things to eeeeeeat, in Kellogg's Country Store'

Utterly delicious and much missed

Nope, none of those.
Chex have a pattern on them and these didn't.
Hidden treasures have a filling and golden nuggets are round.

It's not going to happen, is it?
I may end myself today.

Perhaps The Ceral Killer Cafe might be able to help ?

Aspieparent · 01/08/2017 09:16

Could it be these?

Also thought it maybe a supermarket own brand cereal.

I remember something like you're describing from my childhood...Golden Nuggets? Packaging and adverts had a pirate theme.

dumpton yeah I've seen that photo a few times now with my incessant googling, but I'm sure it's not them. These were more smooth and brighter yellow. No pattern or ridges on them.

They weren't made of oat or what, more synthetic than that.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 01/08/2017 09:13

You can still get Country Store in Spain !
I know which ones you mean OP , not oat krunchies they were really yellow.
