To ask wtf was this cereal called?!

I need some early 2000’s knowledge here!

There was a cereal, between 2002-2006, it was squares, kind of like a multigrain style with a honey-ish taste. They came in a yellow box, they weren’t filled squares either just the outline, they had a hole in the middle and definitely weren’t golden grahams.

Its driving me round the bend, I cannot for the life of me remember what they were called

Honey nut loops?

IreallyLikeCrisps · 14/03/2023 23:19

I don't remember any of these past cereals. I really miss Ricicles, though, they were lovely.

Cheerios. Loved them.

Thank you @pawsbaws and @TheSilveryPussycat . I'm going to hunt for Oat Crisp on my next shopping trip!

Useless fact. As a kid I did cereal testing for brands and Golden Nuggets was one of the brands I was given. I remember it ever so clearly, I’d have to sit in a hall with a dozen other kids and consume my body weight in cereal.
I have no idea how my mother got me that gig, but it was amazing 😂

Well jel Nails 🤣

I don't know but I do miss multi grain start. Similar honey coated multi grain ..

Oh I loved Start when I was little! In fact when I read the title of the thread I was hoping that’s what it was going to be about!

thehourwaslate · 15/03/2023 00:27

And then when I actually read through the thread I discovered Start has been a main topic of discussion! Maybe we need to start a campaign to get Kellogg’s to bring it back! (I had no idea it was still available until 2018…I thought it was discontinued in the early 90s!)

SchoolTripDrama · 15/03/2023 00:57

@petridishmystery I miss Start too! :(

ReluctantAdult1 · 15/03/2023 01:07

are Wheetos still a thing?

JackHackettsMac · 15/03/2023 07:44

I’ve never really eaten cereals for breakfast so obviously I’m no expert but I’ve never heard of about 90% of these! 😱

The Cheerios box is the only one I recognise and I’m ancient. 😳

Yes but no toys

Glad you started this thread OP as I had been trying to remember a cereal I used to love and realised from this thread it was crispix honey!

I had a hankering for sugar puffs last week and have only just found out they’ve changed, after looking for them in the supermarket! All the reviews said they’re awful so that’s another disappointment!

stopbeeping · 15/03/2023 10:52

Stressedafff · 14/03/2023 22:32

The ones I meant were all bran crunchy oat bakes. Now I’m sad they’ve disappeared!
A PP also mentioned Elevenses bars, fucking hell I miss them too they were stunning

wtf have we done to deserve all these nice products being discontinued

I know, nutrigrain and elevenses bars taste nothing like they used to
Nor dairylea lunchable

Remember the pink yoghurt in a round container with a toy in the middle and chocolate ?

TheSilveryPussycat · 15/03/2023 12:38

@Fuwari I thought Sugar Puffs had vanished in the Great Sugar Purge, but now they are Honey Monster, I think? Not quite the same taste, I found, but certainly hit my Sugar Puff spot.

Sugar Puffs used to fix my morning sickness 30 odd years ago Smile

Spanielsarepainless · 15/03/2023 18:11

I loved Start. Sustaining.

Minniem2020 · 15/03/2023 18:42

Ooh I loved Kellogg's start

newmummy16 · 15/03/2023 18:43

Kellogg’s Honey nut loops ‘Let’s loop together’ 😉

MissMaple82 · 15/03/2023 18:45

otherusername · 14/03/2023 17:53

Kellogs start?

Oh my goodness..I'd totally forgotten about these beauties!! Why did they stop making these.. I can taste them now 😋

TwoMonthsOff · 15/03/2023 18:47

I miss Force Flakes they were absolutely the best

Icantfindmykeys · 15/03/2023 19:08

kraves?

otherusername · 15/03/2023 19:49

Lidl do a honey hoops cereal which is pretty good, it's not quite honey nut loops though

Cantdodaytimetv · 15/03/2023 20:29

Honey waffles

Cantdodaytimetv · 15/03/2023 20:31

Yes. They also do them in a chocolate orange flavour now
