Halloween Crunch is the only one I recognize, but I think the only one I had might have been Choco, and I don't remember it being the best thing ever. Crunch Berries always got soggy on me. Why did the Soggies always topple Cap'n Crunch in my house?! Why?! Over the years, I've learned of the existence of a Transformers cereal, but never actually saw it that I can recall. Loved TMNT cereal, though, and I seem to recall liking Smurf cereal, too. Also loved Ghostbusters, even if I could never get the ghost marshmallow to fit through the cereal circle... except that one time my mind might have simply made up to make me stop. Never had either DK cereal, but I do have a somewhat-fond memory of the Nintendo Cereal System. Sadly, though I always preferred Mario to Zelda, it was the Zelda berry that won me over. I also recall the cereal (or was it Cookie Crisp? Both, maybe?) giving out one of two lenticular cards, featuring either Link or Mario. I <em>always</em> got Link, for some absurd, frustrating reason. I managed to trade something for a Mario one in school, but wound up losing it somehow. :( Pac-Man cereal was great, but know what was better? SUPER Pac-Man cereal, with giant Super Pac-Man marshmallows the size of cookies. Well, it seemed like it when you were a kid... if you count those little mini-cookies as cookies. Speaking of cookies, can't say I remember the other two flavors of Cookie Crisp. Always preferred the original, but they need to bring back the Cookie Cop and Cookie Crook (Cookie Crisp is what he took). Do they still even sell Cookie Crisp? Can't find the stuff here. And now, on to part II... I vaguely remember the Choco Crunch, and of course Christmas Crunch still comes around, or at least it did until not too long ago.
