That was a Kellogg's cereal quiz. Anyway, this was surprisingly educational. Who knew that Cocoa Krispies came first!

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

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.

There are at least five cereals missing that I can think of: Oatmeal Squares by Quaker Oats, Golden Grahams and Cinnamon Toast Crunch by General Mills, and Blueberry Morning by Post. Not to mention everyone's favorite 80s cereal: Mr. T

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 didn't get grape nuts because I didn't know I had to put the "flakes" after it. From the small % of people who have gotten it, I'm betting I'm not the only one.

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!

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?

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?

Kaboom is the cereal that Vernita Green uses to shoot through in Kill Bill, other than that I've never seen it either.

@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.

I believe there is an error on the Notes. The title question says "Can you name the American breakfast cereals* available since the 1960's**?" but the second note explains cereals before 1970. In other words, they contradict, one with 1960 and other with 1970.

@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.

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.

@Studentdriver and Lindsay: Gotcha. But the phrasing is still a little bit confusing.

@PoisonSumac: Kaboom was a breakfast cereal, but along with the emergence of Billy Mays, it transformed into a cleaning product. ;)

Utena, you didn't have to put "flakes" after it - grape nuts and grape nuts flakes are two separate answers.

"Product 19" sounds like a mysterious and scary government experiment conducted on our nation's youth.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.)
