They Were Taken Too Soon

Tiny little pieces of French toast floating in your milk. The maple-cinnamon syrup flavor was completely unreal. A beloved member of the 'mini food shaped like itself' cereal genre.

Crunchy Oreo-flavored rings that turned your milk chocolatey black and tasted exactly like dunking Oreos — but in cereal form. An absolute triumph of flavor engineering.

Star-shaped pieces with rainbow sprinkles on top, fronted by a genie character. Lasted about a year before disappearing, but the memory lives on in the minds of those who experienced it.

Tiny waffles with a maple syrup flavor that made breakfast feel like a short-order diner. The milk-to-waffle flavor ratio was absolutely perfect.

Exactly what it sounds like — the flavor and texture of a Rice Krispies Treat, but made into actual cereal. One of the most logically coherent cereal concepts ever executed.

Corn-based cereal pieces that contained fruit-flavored filling hidden inside each kernel. The concept was unhinged genius: a mystery flavor surprise in every bite.

Orange-cream flavored cereal with the Halloween Monster Cereal lineup. It had vanilla and orange flavored marshmallows and a mummy on the box. Seasonal and short-lived.

Net-shaped cereal pieces with marshmallows shaped like pizza slices, stars, and turtle heads. Tasted like Lucky Charms if Lucky Charms had no ambition beyond coating everything in sweetness.

Tiny cinnamon roll-shaped pieces that delivered actual cinnamon roll flavor in cereal form. The concept was clean, the execution was excellent, and the abandonment was inexplicable.

Rice Krispies with fruity marshmallows mixed in — essentially a Kellogg's answer to Lucky Charms but with Snap, Crackle, and Pop-shaped charm pieces and fruit-flavored marshmallows.

Corn-based saucer-shaped pieces with a slight sweetness. The mascot — an alien — was designed by Jay Ward, the same man behind Rocky and Bullwinkle. Brought back due to internet nostalgia campaigns.
