	it didn't. cocoa was 58, rice was 27.

	dashoff:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 16:00 GMT	9 points
	Why are they in alphabetical order up until the last 3? Totally threw me off trying to figure what came after Wh--.

	@Diane - sorry we had oatmeal this morning instead of cereal...I think that is to blame, this has been fixed.

	The two that start with "corn" are out of order as well

	PhilSandifer:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 16:13 GMT	8 points
	@shanaura All introduced after 1960, and thus not covered by this quiz.

	marpocky:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 16:14 GMT	11 points
	It should accept just "Crunch Berries"

	bobc:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 16:16 GMT	38 points
	And to head off the inevitable question, Colon Blow wasn't introduced until the 80s.

	No waking up early enough to eat breakfast hindered me on this quiz for sure. Also, I had no idea this many types of cereal were ever in production: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_breakfast_cereals

	amorris525:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 16:28 GMT	4 points
	dibskis: learn to read, its only cereals that were available since the 1960s

	SizzorB:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 16:28 GMT	9 points
	Good quiz, I think the title on the quiz page should say "introduced before 1970" or some variation. That was the only confusing part for me.

	@cwrocs220, wow I'm dumb.

	I liked this one, it fun and different from the other cereal quiz. How I ever missed Rice Krispies I'll never know, though...

	grape nuts: contains neither grapes nor nuts.

	After reading the other comments I see why they aren't there. However, "available SINCE the 1960s" can mean all cereals available from 1960 onwards regardless of the date they were introduced. It's an ambiguous phrase in this context. If the quizwriter meant only those cereals created no later than 1969, then he should say all cereals first introduced before 1970.

	I actually got 21 out of 38 of them, which is way more than I thought I would get. Not bad for someone who hates eating breakfast!

	ewalke:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 17:42 GMT	3 points
	The only reason I knew Quisp cereal was because it was in some movie or TV show - but for the life of me I can't remember what. Anyone know?

	PoisonSumac:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 17:42 GMT	5 points
	How is it possible that I have been eating cereal since the early 70s and have never even seen a box of KABOOM cereal?? Is it not available in New England?

	ewalke:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 17:46 GMT	8 points
	Kaboom is the cereal that Vernita Green uses to shoot through in Kill Bill, other than that I've never seen it either.

	StudentDriver:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 17:48 GMT	7 points
	@PoisonSumac: Might be because you live in an area with few people on WIC? Kaboom is mostly seen as a "poor people" children's cereal in my area (and therefore shunned by status-concsious kids) since it's a WIC-accepted cereal. Regarding the rest of the quiz, once I understood the rules, the quiz was pretty fun and I did fairly well, ~32/38. And I now know Post Toasties is finally gone... shame.

	cocky:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 17:48 GMT	10 points
	Kaboom has a scary clown on the box.

	Colon Blow?

	StudentDriver:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:06 GMT	9 points
	@Geo, the note says "First introduced before 1970," which excludes any date after and including Jan. 1, 1970. It doesn't contradict the earlier statement; any cereal introduced before 1970 by definition would be available from the 1960's on.

	Lindsay:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:07 GMT	6 points
	Geo Expert - I think that means since 1969 (which is part of the 1960s). But it's confusing the way it's worded. Also, major grammar pet peeve of mine present in the title of the quiz - should be 1960s, not 1960's. It's plural, not possessive.

	GeoExpert:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:13 GMT	-1 points
	@Studentdriver and Lindsay: Gotcha. But the phrasing is still a little bit confusing.

	jaspa:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:14 GMT	7 points
	@PoisonSumac: Kaboom was a breakfast cereal, but along with the emergence of Billy Mays, it transformed into a cleaning product. ;)

	joshow:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:17 GMT	7 points
	I don't know about you, but I could go for some Count Chocula right about now.

	gracie:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:19 GMT	9 points
	Utena, you didn't have to put "flakes" after it - grape nuts and grape nuts flakes are two separate answers.

	Morbo:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:22 GMT	11 points
	"Product 19" sounds like a mysterious and scary government experiment conducted on our nation's youth.

	PoisonSumac:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:23 GMT	4 points
	Thanks ewalke, StudentDriver & cocky - after doing some research I am kind of glad I've never had Kaboom, it looks quite nasty and apparently makes your poop rainbow colored! Plus I don't think my sister would have ever let that box with the evil clown into our house. I found a fascinating website though http://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_home.asp check it out for a walk down cereal memory lane. @GeoExpert - LOL - I actually have one of the automatic dispenser contraptions by Kaboom in my toilet right now (works awesome) Seems like if you buy the cereal you should maybe get the toilet cleaner too from what I've heard...

	madhatter22:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:42 GMT	3 points
	Very fun quiz. Surprised to learn how long some of those have been around!! I would have liked "Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch" or "Cap'n Crunch Peanut Butter" to be accepted for "Peanut Butter Crunch". @Ernest - I was thinking the same thing about Product 19. :) @ Ewalke - loved the Kill Bill trivia. That's so perfect that Quentin Tarantino would've heard of Kaboom and used it in a film.

	Doctor_Tom:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 18:51 GMT	1 point
	I was so excited to put Fruity Pebbles and Cocoa pebbles down because they're my favorite cereals but unfortunately they were first made after 1970. Oh well it was still a good quiz.

	rockgolf:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 19:01 GMT	8 points
	So how about describing the quiz as "*breakfast cereals continuously* available in the US since before 1970**"? That eliminates 1) cereals introduced since 1970 and 2) cereals available in the '60s but no longer produced. RIP: Crispy Critters, OK's and Team Flakes.

	sdh:	Aug 30th, 2009 at 19:04 GMT	-2 points
	There is at least one legitimate missing entry: Quake, which was introduced at the same time as Quisp. (It can't be the case that "available since the 1960s means STILL available, otherwise Quisp wouldn't be on the list either.)
