These are thirteen of the strangest cereals (with commercials) that I found on YouTube.
#13 Nintendo Cereal System
I can just imagine the pitch meeting, "Kids love video games. Kids love cereal. How about we find a way to combine both?!" I am sure I had this cereal when I was a kid but have no recollection of how it actually tasted or if I had to blow in to the box to get it to work (NES joke).
#12 Sir Grapefellow
A World War I style fighter pilot that, somewhere along the line, become knighted, traveled in time and delivered us the horrible taste of grape cereal.
#11 Freakies Cereal
The cereal seems like it was fine, it's just an odd idea to have disfigured, horrible freaks pitch your cereal.
#10 Croonchy Stars
"Jaaa!! FlaggPunsch ees on me! Surströmming und meety bolls forr eveeryvan!" One has to wonder why this wasn't the first meatball flavored cereal.
#9 C3PO's
Even effeminate, sass-talking robots want to pitch you cereal. Please try these Os, well they aren't so much Os as the outline to an animal's food and water dish.
#8 OKs
Not great. Not terrible. Just Ok.
#7 Nerds
One of the first cereals to mirror, packing and all, their candy counterpart. This cereal was divided in half with one half tasting like orange and the other cherry.
#6 Quangaroos
From the Quisp and Quake family, it's an orange Australian spotted kangaroo cereal spokesthing. You'd think that market had been tapped in the 1930s but the fine people at Quaker revived it.
#5 Corn Crackos
It's corn lightly-sprinkled with crack. it will keep kids "energized" for hours. But beware - the cracko dts are hell.
#4 Bill and Ted's Excellent Cereal
Time-traveling doofus/stoners + dried dog food = a winning combination.
#3 Mr. T Cereal
I pity the fool that doesn't love a large, mohawk-sporting bad ass hocking T-shaped cereal!
#2 - Circus Fun
Too bad Circus Fun didn't contain that authentic circus smell of animal feces and cotton candy.
#1 Urkel O's
This seems like a pretty obvious choice for the strangest cereal. This strawberry-banana (?!?!) breakfast treat attempted to ride the nerd success wave that was Urkel. The cereal, I can only assume, tasted like cheese, catchphrases, and was gone in 15 minutes.
