The Great Ricicle Hunt

DH has a significant birthday next month and mentioned in passing that as a child used to have Ricicles as part of his birthday breakfast.

Apparently Kellogg’s discontinued them in 2017 because of the sugar content but I’d love to find a pack or a similar replacement - eBay have boxes going for £100, I’m after a Lidl/Tesco/Sainsbury’s/Waitrose/Ocado/Amazon alternative that I don’t know about!

Does anyone know of a reasonable substitute so he can ditch the Weetabix for once with glorious sugar laden abandon on his birthday?

No, but I remember an ancient ad - ‘Ricicles are twicicles as nicicles’.

How about Sugar Puffs, or have they died the death, too?

I've just googled frosted rice cereal and a company called cereal killer cafe has come up, selling boxes of American kelloggs frosted rice cereal for £6.95.

Aha, I’ll store that up to sing to him if I find a pack (or sub). Sugar puffs are a good call, I might keep it as a reserve, no idea if they sell them, I’m not keen on cereal myself Blush

They've buggered about with them too.

Oh my goodness @NannyR, I could kiss you (Covid notwithstanding). DH will be delighted to have a pack of these and I’ll be delighted to watch his face light up ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved ricicles too!
Can't believe they were made until 2017; I haven't seen them for about 35 years!

Glad you found some (or equivalent) OP.

That bugger about with everything like this now :-(

Oh, thank you for this! My partner also misses these, I shall buy him a box and be the best girlfriend ever!

They arrived today! I’m more excited about giving him them than his real present Grin Love MN for things like this Flowers

Ricicles were bloody amazing.

White chocolate coco pops kind of reminded me of ricicles.
