Help me remember this cereal!

[WashingMatilda]

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!

Toppas? Which later changed to Frosted Wheats as Ageing suggested?

I loved those, could eat them for every meal of the day!!

Im sure it was oat crunchies - does this look more familiar?

daily they really do look like them there tbf.... Were they slightly hollow and 'airy'?

Sorry, just seen that someone has already posted that. Oat crunchies had a really distinct texture, they sort of deflated and melt in your mouth except for the corners which stayed a bit harder.

That's exactly what they were like - airy!

Was it these yellow ones in this pic?

Was it Golden Nuggets, I loved them!

As an aside how cool was it getting a toy in your cereal... be it a colour changing spoon/bike reflector.... sigh. Nostalgia ey

Hidden treasures?

Did you have Cap'n Crunch in the UK?

flickerty
I'm sure that's them!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are they Oat Krunchies??

dailyshite that does sound like there texture!

They sell them in Scandinavia as Havre Fras, so if you can't find them any more in the UK, those online Scandi grocery stores will probably have them (for an over inflated price of course :P)

I think that is what is in Flickerty's picture too - they were bloody lovely. Didn't know they still made them under a different name.

It was golden something...

I'd forgotten about toys, flickerty. Wasn't that great!

I can't understand why they don;t put toys in frozen veg. or bags of apples to persuade kids to eat them. A toy is way more appealing than a health benefit !

washing the cereal in Flickerty's picture is Krave

It's so weird because the ones flickerty posted and the photo of them in the bowl look exactly like what I'm thinking of, but gierg thats definitely not them, perhaps they changed the recipe?

Gaaahhh it's definitely not Krave, they are relatively new and only released in the last 8 years or so, these were mid to late 90's.

I don't know what they are, they came up on a google search and it's sold at the cereal killer cafe as a cereal cocktail called choco-pottamus (or something!).
I know the exact ones you mean though and they look JUST like this but I have a feeling the ones in the picture might be the Krave cereal which has a choc filling.... argh

X-post as I was googling further lol

Thank you so much flickerty

Fist bump

Did they come with free gift of pirate themed pairs game? You had to collect the vouchers?

@Flickerty & @Matilda - that bowl looks like a disgusting mix of Scampi Fries, crappy Cocoa Pops & a Kinder hippo... WTF?! Bet it's yours for £7 a bowl.

It's Oat Krunchies that you are talking about OP - I'm sure and also a little over invested as I'm avoiding starting to write an article

Yes I remember! Can't remember what they were called but they were by Quaker.
