Breakfast is often hailed as the most crucial meal of the day.
A bowl of tasty cereal doused in ice-cold milk is a common choice for those rushing off to school or work, and it’s frequently a hit with kids. Those 90s bowls of sugary sweetness was the real rocket fuel you needed to get you through a day in the classroom.
However, some iconic cereals from the 80s and 90s are no longer available to today’s youngsters – many have been removed from the shelves as brands strive to be more health-conscious.
Let’s take a look at some of the cereals that people remember most fondly.

Ricicles
This sweet Kellogg’s cereal was a big hit with children, along with its chocolate version, Choco Ricicles, reports the Express.
The cereal was similar to Rice Krispies but had a frosted sugar coating. However, in 2017, due to its high sugar content, it was discontinued, much to the disappointment of many.
Sugar Puffs
The original Sugar Puffs were launched in 1957 and were a honey-flavoured, sugar-coated cereal.
But there was a significant change in 2014 when it changed its name to Honey Monster Puffs, and the original recipe was also altered to contain less sugar, more honey – and sadly, according to many fans, less flavour.
Start
Kellogg’s Start was introduced in the 80s and marketed as enhancing performance in sports, making it a favourite among adults.
However, despite petitions to bring it back, it was pulled from the shelves in 2018.

Banana Bubbles
This Kellogg’s cereal consisted of rice grains with a rich banana flavour – and it made the milk taste like a banana milkshake.
In 1996, the axe fell on Kellogg’s beloved cereal alongside Golden Crisp as they made room for fresh offerings.
Corn Pops
The arrival of Kellogg’s Corn Pops in 1993 was met with the catchy alure “you can’t stop a corn popper popping more corn”.
While these flakes may have vanished from British shelves, they continue to be an American breakfast staple.

With their irresistible taste, Nestle Golden Grahams were truly moreish – even if it was for all the wrong reasons.
By 2021, this sugary and salty favourite had disappeared from our bowls, succumbing to its less-than-healthy ingredients.
Force Flakes
The cereal force was strong with Force, established across the pond in 1901 and produced domestically since 1954.
Their claim to fame as the very first successful commercial wheat flake couldn’t save them; production shuttered in 2013.
