10 Worst Pop Culture Cereal Tie-Ins

Desi Jedeikin

I love me some cereal. In fact I'm eating Cocoa Crispies as I write this. Mmmm chocolatey milk. I'm always on the look out for delicious new cereals and I have to say I love me a good cereal pop culture tie-in. I miss you Donkey Kong Crunch! But there are some cereal pop culture tie-ins that I just do not find appealing. Here's a look at 10 of the worst.

 

Chocolate Mud And Bugs

Crunchy Chocolate balls? I'm down! Marshmallows shaped like bugs...Hakuna Matata my a**!  I want grub in the morning. Crunchy, delicious grub.  Not grubs. 

 

Mr. T

Mr. T is a force to be reckoned with, full of personality and badass-ness. This cereal is the definition of 'meh'.  Plain, boring Ts. I pity the fool who buys this cereal. That being said, I would like to have those Mr.T stickers.

 

Urkel-Os

Am I the only person who can't stand Urkel!?! And it is a scientific fact that artificial banana flavor is the most disgusting artificial flavor in the world. Fake watermelon is the best FYI. This cereal annoys me and disgusts me, two feelings I don't need to experience first thing in the morning.

 

Indiana Jones

It kind of just gives me the heebie jeebies to think of crunching down on crystal skull marshmallows. The marshmallows in this cereal are pretty unappealing. Almost as unappealing as the last Indiana Jones movie.

 

Nerds

I love nerds. I love sugar cereal. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!!!  I am NOT going to ever get a hankering for grape-flavored cereal. The kids who eat this cereal should probably switch over to Ritalin Crunchballs. Because they are probably super hyper.

 

Star Trek Cereal

This cereal is basically Lucky Charms with planet marshmallows and cereal chunks that are supposed to be 'galaxies'. To me they look like dog doo piles.

 

Prince Of Thieves

Mmmmm who doesn't want to start their day with a crunchy bowl of...ARROWS?!?! Ummm yeah.  I thought taking an arrow to the knee was bad!  Probably not as bad as taking these arrows to my mouth.

 

Cabbage Patch Kids Cereal

They pretty much lost me at  'Low Sugar'.  They completely lost me by making the cereal happy Cabbage Patch Kid faces.  You think I'm gonna eat a bowl of cheerful orphans for breakfast? What kind of monster do you think I am?

 

Monopoly

As someone who once swallowed and passed a Monopoly iron, I can never approve of a cereal that encourages eating game pieces. Especially one that looks this sh*tty. 

 

Nickelodeon Green Slime

(source) 

I'd rather eat a bowl of slime than something that looks like dehydrated peas and carrots. Well if I'm being completely honest, I didn't always feel that way. I ate so much of this one time that a vomited what looked like green slime.  I miss you Green Slime Cereal! Alas! We can never be!

Have you tried any of these cereals? What's are some other horrible pop culture cereal tie-ins? Let me know @desijedeikin or in the comments below!
