Well…Scotty went and did it. The quality of the last episode with Andrew on the phone was unsatisfactory. So with Scotty the only one in the studio, he gives you an all-dead cereal episode! No trying anything here! To Andrew’s delight, all old commercials for cereals that no longer exist. Cool, huh? If you were a child of the 80s…this one’s for you!

living in a Cereal boat reviewing Cereals is the Gocot
and Andrew living in a Cereal boat, critiking some new
(00:29):
ones and some oat. It's the Serial Serials, the seri
of Cereals, the Cereal series of.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
The Killer Show, Stu, the Cereal Killer Show. This is
the Cereal Killer Show, real show.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
This is Serial Killers. I'm Scotty be Welcome to episode
ninety nine. Hey, Andrew, Oh, Andrew's not here. Andrew doesn't
know that I'm doing this episode all by myself because
I didn't really like the way that it sounded on
Monday over the phone. And we're still kind of trying
to figure out the technology of how we can do it.
(01:18):
I think we're going to do a zoom session for
episode one hundred. That way we can all kind of
be together with the same audio, and we'll bring Daniell
in for it. So coming up on Monday, we'll have
the one hundredth episode of Serial Killers, and hopefully you'll
be able to hear it. I don't know, I don't
know what's going to happen, or what it's going to
sound like, or if I'm gonna be able to play
my silly little sound effects. But I guess we'll find
(01:39):
that all out. So what I'm gonna do here? And
I had mentioned it in a previous episode, and Andrew
wouldn't want to be a part of this anyway. So
welcome to Serial Killers. Episode ninety nine. Serial Killers visits
the Cereal Great. Yeah, so this is gonna be an
(02:00):
episode of All Cereal Graveyard, not trying any cereal, just
reminiscing about old cereals that they don't make anymore. And
there were so many cereals in the eighties that have
come and gone and they didn't last very long at all.
And nowadays there are a lot of cereals that are candies,
(02:20):
like Reese's Puffs and Hershey Kissed cereal, and even peeps
and Jolly Ranchers, which is disgusting. So if you go
back to nineteen eighty six, maybe you'll remember this. One
big question about new Nerd cereal is what time orange flavor?
This size worry serry flavor this size carryes.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
What's side?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
It's also malicious?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I can't decide.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
New Nerd cereal is the fruity good part of your complete.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Breakfast, which.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Also available in grape and strawberrys.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So you remember Nerds candy, They're still around. There was Oh,
shut up, pac man. It was a little box and
one side was one flavor and the other side was
the other flavor. It was the same thing with this
cereal from Rawlston in the mid eighties. One of them
had cherry on one side and orange on the other side,
and the other one was grape on one side and
strawberry on the other. They didn't last very long, was
(03:21):
only around for a couple of years, and they were
like little baby kind of cocoa puff type circles, and
they were just flavored with those nasty artificial flavors that
Ralston made it. And of course Ralston is not around anymore.
So here's another one. Not quite a candy. But you
probably never even knew that this cereal existed. Again, very
(03:42):
short lived, and you usually would only get this thing
at a ballpark because nobody really ever ate it anywhere else.
But it became a cereal in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Surprise, new cracker Jack brand cereal can be a delicious
part of a nutritious cracker Jack Bourne. You're up to
a cracker Jack, deck a cracker, the kurts to move,
a living JOm, the legs feeding a hit new cracker
Jack cereals loaded the golden puffs of crackling crunch and
(04:12):
probably surprise in everybody.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Jack Bolly begins with the band You up to a
crack of Jack.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Damn. Yeah, nobody remembers that. I don't even remember it.
I've never had it before in my life. But it
was another Rawston cereal. And it's so sad that Ralston's
not around anymore because they made all these crazy, weird
co branded cereals and movies, also movie cereals. You know
that the new Star Wars cereal just came out a
couple of months ago from General Mills. There have been
(04:40):
many Star Wars cereals over the years, and maybe you
remember this one that Kellogg's put out in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
We lost my fort but you and tu.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Food, Yes, crunchy food see three pos.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
You can all see three pos twin raings pays together
for crunchy new horse at breakfast. Yeah, Christ, see a
delicious pot of this new ficious.
Speaker 4 (05:06):
Breakfast or no, of course, how much mine see three
pos Breakfast?
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, so those were like little eight they look like eights.
I guess I don't know. I never freaking saw Star
Wars or any Star Wars movie because I just don't care.
So I guess maybe it looked like what's that spaceship thing?
I don't even know what it's called, but it looked
like little eights, these little crunchy cereal things, and eighties
movies always seemed to be made into cereals. I was
a big fan of The Gremlins. Actually just had my
(05:38):
daughter's watch it with me a couple of months ago.
They've never seen it before. But there was a gremlin cereal,
another Rawston creation back in nineteen eighty four. Perhaps you
remember this one. Are you hungry? Hungry as a gremlin?
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Your's gremlin cereal?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
A tasty way to satisfy it?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Gremlins?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Didn't this a sweet crunchy cereal.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Let's satisfy it use the hungry little gremlin that's.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
In autumn crem Lens.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Tasty way. Gremlin Cereal is part of his Complete Breakfast.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Again, part of a Complete Breakfast that had toast and
butter and orange juice and another glass of milk. That's
a complete breakfast. Don't know why, but that's gremlin cereal
from nineteen eighty four. It wasn't around very long. Again,
none of these theme cereals can last very long because
whatever they are based on don't last very long. And
plus Andrew wouldn't know what I mean. Yes, he saw gremlins.
(06:38):
I know I saw gremlins. He's saying it right now
as he's listening to this, But he did not know
that there was a gremlin cereal and it was a
creepy commercial where the kids had these little plastic gremlin
ears on their heads. And I don't know. So on Monday,
Andrew kind of phoned in Cerial Killers. I wasn't a
big fan of the way that sounded, but that also
reminded me of this cereal that also came out in
(07:00):
nineteen eighty four. So many cereals came out in nineteen
eighty four. I was nine years old, and Andrew was
negative eleven or something like that. ET had a cereal
and it was really good. I remember it was peanut,
butter and chocolate. Of course, because Et was a huge
fan of Reese's Pieces. There were no Reese's Puff cereal
back then, but it was a peanut butter chocolate flavored cereal.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Give a listen, ET brings you you Et cereal plaid
with ET's plate rip flavors, chocolate and wee peanut butter shaped.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Like P's and peas.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
You Et cereal a blowing part of this good breakfast good.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And that was a delicious cereal from General Mills. I
don't really remember eating it. I know I had it,
but I don't just remember the taste, but I think
it would have been pretty close to the peanut butter
chocolate Leapin' lemurs from Nature's Path that we had a
couple of weeks ago, but not quite as natural, I'm sure. Hey,
So anyway, again, I'm Scotty B. This is Serial Killers.
(08:14):
It's episode ninety nine, and this is the all serial graveyard,
all the time episode. I'm sure Andrew would be turning
in his grave if he was dead, but he's not.
He's home, so I don't even that doesn't make any sense.
Mister T nineteen eighty four. You know, mister T. Mohawk
gold chains was all over the place in the early
to mid even Actually, most of the eighties he was
(08:36):
had his own show, The eighteen. You know that. He
was guest stars everywhere, different strokes, every sitcom possible. He
was hanging out with Nancy Reagan at the White House.
Just say no that whole campaign. Mister T had an
incredible cereal. They were just teas and Quaker made it
back in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
I know who's and who's teaming up with a good
balance directfort.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Team up with mister T, Siia, you know the teams,
the team that knows the cool breakfast can be.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
He had a chrispy corn taste.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
With a touch of brown sugar.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Team run up with the thirty.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Team run up with the thirty.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Told the sweet christy tease one with the team mate.
You run up with the thirsty, It's cool the thirty.
So that's pretty much all he said was it's cool.
I guess it was cool. So mister T, there were
a little uh sweet teas. That's all they were, was
just a bowl full of teas. And if you're an
(09:32):
eighties movie buff, you'll remember that mister T cereal is
the cereal that Pee Wee Herman built. That crazy breakfast
machine in Pee Wee's Big Adventure so he could have
his Mister t cereal er. That again didn't last very long,
but it was very popular at the time. And could
we just go back one year earlier than that, to
nineteen eighty three if you were a child of the
(09:54):
eighties and after school you went to the bowling alley
or the roller rink or a local arcade and had
a pocket full of quarters. Pac Man was huge, and
pac Man had a cereal. It was General Mills nineteen
eighty three. Check it out. Star pac Man Cereal then
went all ghost Shoven, ghost Chumbers.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Show giant, Who's.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Me Super pac Man.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Now of this Krispy Corn Cereal has added new Super
pac Man marshmallows like me, the biggest ghost Chunker of
ball ghost Humbers, the ghost Shummer.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Too, what sum in good?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Part of her new dress? Blakmast quick super Man So yes,
pac Man Cereal came out right around nineteen eighty three.
That commercial was from nineteen eighty five when they added
Super pac Man marshmallows, So there were a big giant
Super Pacman marshmallows along with regular sized pac Man marshmallows
and all the monsters Inky and Blinky and Clyde and
(10:53):
the girl what was her name? God, I don't remember,
but for the four monsters, and you have to remember
this one. Another cartoon turned into a cereal. This was
right around nineteen eighty nine. Ralston came out with this
cereal based on the cartoon that was very popular at
the time.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
I'll bring you kids are apart pack no m shredder one.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
So we must take that pau me up.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Let's give it to all the pinju that shoutdown. Dude,
it's crunching Ninja net with Ninja rushmallow apart back, crunch hard,
up your balance, crack case graybow, We crunch.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You b Yeah. So again didn't last all that long.
It was around for a couple of years, and actually
General Mills released a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cereal
a couple of years ago, and that has since come
and gone. I never even got to try that one
because I didn't even know what existed, and I was
(11:52):
not quite in the age demo for Teenagemutant Ninja Turtles.
I was just a little bit too old for it.
But I do remember, probably right around that time nineteen
eighty nine, there was a song from a group called
Partners in Crime called Turtle Power.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Bit of radio.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It was from when the movie came out to Crime
had a song called Turtle Power. A cell there the
hero school in this day and age, who as for more? Okay, great?
But yeah, you know, I was a big radio geek,
so I won tickets to see the premiere of the
movie and got to see the concert with Partners in
Crime and good times. You know this sucks. I hate
(12:31):
not being able to bounce off Andrew here because he'd
be making fun of me, and I'd be making fun
of him, and it's just kind of lonely without him here. Actually,
I'm gonna call him at the end and let him
know that I did this and have him yell at
me a little bit on the phone. But one more
cereal from nineteen eighty eight. I know, obviously you probably
don't read a newspaper anymore. I do, just because the
(12:52):
whole you know, morning show radio thing, and I got
to know what's going on. So I still like to
flip through the paper every morning, and I do read
the comics, and I always read Andrew argyle Sweater comic
because he thinks it's hilarious. And back in nineteen eighty eight,
Ralston had another cereal called Morning Funnies. It was a
collection of all the different popular Sunday comics at the time,
all on one cereal box. That is what's so fun.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Pretty funny cereal, Mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
See you asked, Yes you're asking. Suddenly your favorite funnies
are all over you. Cereal called Morning Funnies Fruit Taste
is secret pen. It opens for Morgidge comics.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Morning Funnies is a delicious part of my complete breakfast.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yester morning You're asking, Great Wilson. And it also had
like a little flap that you could flip out that
there were more comics on. There were a little round
kind of smiley face fruit flavored cereals. You remember those
cookies called Giggles maybe in the late eighties early nineties.
They were like little smiley faces with cream inside of them.
They kind of like mini Giggles cookies. That was Morning
(13:59):
fun Cereal with Dennis the Menace there at the start.
You probably don't even know who Dennis the Menace is,
or maybe you do. I don't know. And on more
that I want to play for you, and then I'll
get out of here, because I think you're bored. I
don't know. These are TV commercials that you probably didn't
even know these cereals existed because most of the more
popular cereal jingles those cereals are still around. But here's
(14:20):
one that I definitely remember. This one is from the
mid eighties. General Mills put it out. See if you
remember this discussion, you didn't even saying, So.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
You can take your time and enjoy these honey touched flakes.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
The crispy part of this complete breakfast.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Now. I was definitely a big crispy wheats and raisins fan.
It was kind of like the Anti and branded. They
were wheat flakes and they were kind of coated with
honey or something like that, so they would stay crispy
and milk. General Mills put that out. That is long gone. Hey,
let's give Andrew a call. Let him know what we're
doing here. Watch him get all angry. He'll just go, oh,
cou cou couck cuckoo. I guarantee that's what he's gonna do.
(15:14):
Hold on, let's get him on the phone. Hello, Hi
is this Andrew? Oh?
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Hi, Scottie Bee, Hi Andrew.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
The other half of Serial Killers. How are you today?
Speaker 7 (15:32):
I'm wonderful.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
How are you good?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I just want to let you know we're at the
end of an episode right now that I just recorded
all by myself. What Yes, So, what I figured I
would do is, since I didn't really like the way
the phone one sounded last week and I'm waiting for
episode one hundred for you and Danielle and myself to
all do it in zoom audio, that I would do
a serial graveyard episode because I know you hate those.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
I feel absolutely blindsided.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
What happened?
Speaker 7 (16:00):
I feel blindsided?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Why I'm letting you know?
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Mmmmmm nice, real nice.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
So this has been episode ninety nine of Serial Killers.
This was an all serial graveyard episode all the time,
where I played a whole bunch of serial commercials from
cereals that you never heard of because you weren't born
in the eighties.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
So I'm sure that no one is actually going to
make it to this part of the episode. So now
it'd be a good time to see runch.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Why I think everybody is still here.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
They're hanging on, Uh huh, they're hanging on. They're trying
to listen to you talk about old cereals for twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yes, people like it, man, it reminds them of their childhood.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Yep, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Well, I just wanted you to say crunch with me,
so that's pretty much why I called. Okay, So thanks
for listening to episode ninety nine of Serial Killers. I'm
Scottie B.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
And I'm Andrew. I hope you had a wonderful time
listening to Scotty talk about old stupid cereals.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yes, this has been the serial Graveyard, and if you
want to request commercials for the Serial Graveyard, I'll happily
play them. Just email us or text us or dm
us or whatever. Yeah, for sure. I don't know how
do you text us?
Speaker 7 (17:03):
You can't you eighty eight?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Just find us? You know what it is, Andrew. In
the studio that I'm in, they shut the air conditioning off.
It's so hot that I'm just dripping sweat. The thermostat
says seventy nine on it, and I'm a disgusting period. Yeah,
they won't give me air conditioning. Why I don't know,
but I'm busting my ass to come in here. Everyone
is home quarantine, hiding in their house. I'm driving into
the city every day and they can't even give me
(17:26):
an air conditioned studio.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
That's so sad. Do you want me to send you
ice pack?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yes? Please? So I don't even know what I'm talking
about anyway, just dm us on Instagram or Twitter and
let me know what old Cereal commercials that you want
to hear that I'll bring you back to your childhood
because that makes me happy.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Well, I guess there's no ratings that need to go
into the sheet because you just did no Cereal.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, the sheet's just going to say episode ninety nine

Or do you have fresh milk? I do, actually, and
I know that being not very cereal smart, you don't

Speaker 1 (00:57):
This is Serial Killers. I'm Scotty be Welcome to episode
ninety nine. Hey, Andrew, Oh, Andrew's not here. Andrew doesn't
know that I'm doing this episode all by myself because
I didn't really like the way that it sounded on
Monday over the phone. And we're still kind of trying
to figure out the technology of how we can do it.
(01:18):
I think we're going to do a zoom session for

(01:39):
that all out. So what I'm gonna do here? And
I had mentioned it in a previous episode, and Andrew
wouldn't want to be a part of this anyway. So
welcome to Serial Killers. Episode ninety nine. Serial Killers visits
the Cereal Great. Yeah, so this is gonna be an
(02:00):
episode of All Cereal Graveyard, not trying any cereal, just
reminiscing about old cereals that they don't make anymore. And
there were so many cereals in the eighties that have
come and gone and they didn't last very long at all.
And nowadays there are a lot of cereals that are candies,
(02:20):
like Reese's Puffs and Hershey Kissed cereal, and even peeps
and Jolly Ranchers, which is disgusting. So if you go
back to nineteen eighty six, maybe you'll remember this. One
big question about new Nerd cereal is what time orange flavor?
This size worry serry flavor this size carryes.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
What's side?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
It's also malicious?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
I can't decide.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
New Nerd cereal is the fruity good part of your complete.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Breakfast, which.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Also available in grape and strawberrys.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So you remember Nerds candy, They're still around. There was Oh,
shut up, pac man. It was a little box and
one side was one flavor and the other side was
the other flavor. It was the same thing with this
cereal from Rawlston in the mid eighties. One of them
had cherry on one side and orange on the other side,
and the other one was grape on one side and
strawberry on the other. They didn't last very long, was
(03:21):
only around for a couple of years, and they were
like little baby kind of cocoa puff type circles, and
they were just flavored with those nasty artificial flavors that
Ralston made it. And of course Ralston is not around anymore.
So here's another one. Not quite a candy. But you
probably never even knew that this cereal existed. Again, very
(03:42):
short lived, and you usually would only get this thing
at a ballpark because nobody really ever ate it anywhere else.
But it became a cereal in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 5 (03:51):
Surprise, new cracker Jack brand cereal can be a delicious
part of a nutritious cracker Jack Bourne. You're up to
a cracker Jack, deck a cracker, the kurts to move,
a living JOm, the legs feeding a hit new cracker
Jack cereals loaded the golden puffs of crackling crunch and
(04:12):
probably surprise in everybody.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Jack Bolly begins with the band You up to a
crack of Jack.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Damn. Yeah, nobody remembers that. I don't even remember it.
I've never had it before in my life. But it
was another Rawston cereal. And it's so sad that Ralston's
not around anymore because they made all these crazy, weird
co branded cereals and movies, also movie cereals. You know
that the new Star Wars cereal just came out a
couple of months ago from General Mills. There have been
(04:40):
many Star Wars cereals over the years, and maybe you
remember this one that Kellogg's put out in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
We lost my fort but you and tu.

Food, Yes, crunchy food see three pos.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
Yeah, so those were like little eight they look like eights.
I guess I don't know. I never freaking saw Star
Wars or any Star Wars movie because I just don't care.
So I guess maybe it looked like what's that spaceship thing?
I don't even know what it's called, but it looked
like little eights, these little crunchy cereal things, and eighties
movies always seemed to be made into cereals. I was
a big fan of The Gremlins. Actually just had my
(05:38):
daughter's watch it with me a couple of months ago.
They've never seen it before. But there was a gremlin cereal,
another Rawston creation back in nineteen eighty four. Perhaps you
remember this one. Are you hungry? Hungry as a gremlin?
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Your's gremlin cereal?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
A tasty way to satisfy it?
Speaker 4 (05:58):
Gremlins?
Speaker 5 (05:59):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Didn't this a sweet crunchy cereal.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Let's satisfy it use the hungry little gremlin that's.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
In autumn crem Lens.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Tasty way. Gremlin Cereal is part of his Complete Breakfast.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Again, part of a Complete Breakfast that had toast and
butter and orange juice and another glass of milk. That's
a complete breakfast. Don't know why, but that's gremlin cereal
from nineteen eighty four. It wasn't around very long. Again,
none of these theme cereals can last very long because
whatever they are based on don't last very long. And
plus Andrew wouldn't know what I mean. Yes, he saw gremlins.
(06:38):
I know I saw gremlins. He's saying it right now
as he's listening to this, But he did not know
that there was a gremlin cereal and it was a
creepy commercial where the kids had these little plastic gremlin
ears on their heads. And I don't know. So on Monday,
Andrew kind of phoned in Cerial Killers. I wasn't a
big fan of the way that sounded, but that also
reminded me of this cereal that also came out in
(07:00):
nineteen eighty four. So many cereals came out in nineteen
eighty four. I was nine years old, and Andrew was
negative eleven or something like that. ET had a cereal
and it was really good. I remember it was peanut,
butter and chocolate. Of course, because Et was a huge
fan of Reese's Pieces. There were no Reese's Puff cereal
back then, but it was a peanut butter chocolate flavored cereal.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Give a listen, ET brings you you Et cereal plaid
with ET's plate rip flavors, chocolate and wee peanut butter shaped.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Like P's and peas.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
You Et cereal a blowing part of this good breakfast good.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
And that was a delicious cereal from General Mills. I
don't really remember eating it. I know I had it,
but I don't just remember the taste, but I think
it would have been pretty close to the peanut butter
chocolate Leapin' lemurs from Nature's Path that we had a
couple of weeks ago, but not quite as natural, I'm sure. Hey,
So anyway, again, I'm Scotty B. This is Serial Killers.
(08:14):
It's episode ninety nine, and this is the all serial graveyard,
all the time episode. I'm sure Andrew would be turning
in his grave if he was dead, but he's not.
He's home, so I don't even that doesn't make any sense.
Mister T nineteen eighty four. You know, mister T. Mohawk
gold chains was all over the place in the early
to mid even Actually, most of the eighties he was
(08:36):
had his own show, The eighteen. You know that. He
was guest stars everywhere, different strokes, every sitcom possible. He
was hanging out with Nancy Reagan at the White House.
Just say no that whole campaign. Mister T had an
incredible cereal. They were just teas and Quaker made it
back in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
I know who's and who's teaming up with a good
balance directfort.
Speaker 5 (08:56):
Team up with mister T, Siia, you know the teams,
the team that knows the cool breakfast can be.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
He had a chrispy corn taste.
Speaker 4 (09:05):
With a touch of brown sugar.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Team run up with the thirty.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
It's cool.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Team run up with the thirty.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Told the sweet christy tease one with the team mate.
You run up with the thirsty, It's cool the thirty.
So that's pretty much all he said was it's cool.
I guess it was cool. So mister T, there were
a little uh sweet teas. That's all they were, was
just a bowl full of teas. And if you're an
(09:32):
eighties movie buff, you'll remember that mister T cereal is
the cereal that Pee Wee Herman built. That crazy breakfast
machine in Pee Wee's Big Adventure so he could have
his Mister t cereal er. That again didn't last very long,
but it was very popular at the time. And could
we just go back one year earlier than that, to
nineteen eighty three if you were a child of the
(09:54):
eighties and after school you went to the bowling alley
or the roller rink or a local arcade and had
a pocket full of quarters. Pac Man was huge, and
pac Man had a cereal. It was General Mills nineteen
eighty three. Check it out. Star pac Man Cereal then
went all ghost Shoven, ghost Chumbers.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
Show giant, Who's.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
Me Super pac Man.
Speaker 6 (10:20):
Now of this Krispy Corn Cereal has added new Super
pac Man marshmallows like me, the biggest ghost Chunker of
ball ghost Humbers, the ghost Shummer.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Too, what sum in good?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
Part of her new dress? Blakmast quick super Man So yes,
pac Man Cereal came out right around nineteen eighty three.
That commercial was from nineteen eighty five when they added
Super pac Man marshmallows, So there were a big giant
Super Pacman marshmallows along with regular sized pac Man marshmallows
and all the monsters Inky and Blinky and Clyde and
(10:53):
the girl what was her name? God, I don't remember,
but for the four monsters, and you have to remember
this one. Another cartoon turned into a cereal. This was
right around nineteen eighty nine. Ralston came out with this
cereal based on the cartoon that was very popular at
the time.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
I'll bring you kids are apart pack no m shredder one.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
So we must take that pau me up.
Speaker 5 (11:19):
Let's give it to all the pinju that shoutdown. Dude,
it's crunching Ninja net with Ninja rushmallow apart back, crunch hard,
up your balance, crack case graybow, We crunch.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You b Yeah. So again didn't last all that long.
It was around for a couple of years, and actually
General Mills released a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle cereal
a couple of years ago, and that has since come
and gone. I never even got to try that one
because I didn't even know what existed, and I was
(11:52):
not quite in the age demo for Teenagemutant Ninja Turtles.
I was just a little bit too old for it.
But I do remember, probably right around that time nineteen
eighty nine, there was a song from a group called
Partners in Crime called Turtle Power.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Bit of radio.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
It was from when the movie came out to Crime
had a song called Turtle Power. A cell there the
hero school in this day and age, who as for more? Okay, great?
But yeah, you know, I was a big radio geek,
so I won tickets to see the premiere of the
movie and got to see the concert with Partners in
Crime and good times. You know this sucks. I hate
(12:31):
not being able to bounce off Andrew here because he'd
be making fun of me, and I'd be making fun
of him, and it's just kind of lonely without him here. Actually,
I'm gonna call him at the end and let him
know that I did this and have him yell at
me a little bit on the phone. But one more
cereal from nineteen eighty eight. I know, obviously you probably
don't read a newspaper anymore. I do, just because the
(12:52):
whole you know, morning show radio thing, and I got
to know what's going on. So I still like to
flip through the paper every morning, and I do read
the comics, and I always read Andrew argyle Sweater comic
because he thinks it's hilarious. And back in nineteen eighty eight,
Ralston had another cereal called Morning Funnies. It was a
collection of all the different popular Sunday comics at the time,
all on one cereal box. That is what's so fun.
Speaker 5 (13:16):
Pretty funny cereal, Mister Wilson.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
See you asked, Yes you're asking. Suddenly your favorite funnies
are all over you. Cereal called Morning Funnies Fruit Taste
is secret pen. It opens for Morgidge comics.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
Morning Funnies is a delicious part of my complete breakfast.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yester morning You're asking, Great Wilson. And it also had
like a little flap that you could flip out that
there were more comics on. There were a little round
kind of smiley face fruit flavored cereals. You remember those
cookies called Giggles maybe in the late eighties early nineties.
They were like little smiley faces with cream inside of them.
They kind of like mini Giggles cookies. That was Morning
(13:59):
fun Cereal with Dennis the Menace there at the start.
You probably don't even know who Dennis the Menace is,
or maybe you do. I don't know. And on more
that I want to play for you, and then I'll
get out of here, because I think you're bored. I
don't know. These are TV commercials that you probably didn't
even know these cereals existed because most of the more
popular cereal jingles those cereals are still around. But here's
(14:20):
one that I definitely remember. This one is from the
mid eighties. General Mills put it out. See if you
remember this discussion, you didn't even saying, So.
Speaker 5 (14:42):
You can take your time and enjoy these honey touched flakes.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
The crispy part of this complete breakfast.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Now. I was definitely a big crispy wheats and raisins fan.
It was kind of like the Anti and branded. They
were wheat flakes and they were kind of coated with
honey or something like that, so they would stay crispy
and milk. General Mills put that out. That is long gone. Hey,
let's give Andrew a call. Let him know what we're
doing here. Watch him get all angry. He'll just go, oh,
cou cou couck cuckoo. I guarantee that's what he's gonna do.
(15:14):
Hold on, let's get him on the phone. Hello, Hi
is this Andrew? Oh?
Speaker 7 (15:27):
Hi, Scottie Bee, Hi Andrew.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
The other half of Serial Killers. How are you today?
Speaker 7 (15:32):
I'm wonderful.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
How are you good?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I just want to let you know we're at the
end of an episode right now that I just recorded
all by myself. What Yes, So, what I figured I
would do is, since I didn't really like the way
the phone one sounded last week and I'm waiting for
episode one hundred for you and Danielle and myself to
all do it in zoom audio, that I would do
a serial graveyard episode because I know you hate those.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
I feel absolutely blindsided.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
What happened?
Speaker 7 (16:00):
I feel blindsided?
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Why I'm letting you know?
Speaker 7 (16:03):
Mmmmmm nice, real nice.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
So this has been episode ninety nine of Serial Killers.
This was an all serial graveyard episode all the time,
where I played a whole bunch of serial commercials from
cereals that you never heard of because you weren't born
in the eighties.
Speaker 7 (16:18):
So I'm sure that no one is actually going to
make it to this part of the episode. So now
it'd be a good time to see runch.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
Why I think everybody is still here.
Speaker 7 (16:25):
They're hanging on, Uh huh, they're hanging on. They're trying
to listen to you talk about old cereals for twenty minutes.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yes, people like it, man, it reminds them of their childhood.
Speaker 7 (16:33):
Yep, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Well, I just wanted you to say crunch with me,
so that's pretty much why I called. Okay, So thanks
for listening to episode ninety nine of Serial Killers. I'm
Scottie B.
Speaker 7 (16:44):
And I'm Andrew. I hope you had a wonderful time
listening to Scotty talk about old stupid cereals.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yes, this has been the serial Graveyard, and if you
want to request commercials for the Serial Graveyard, I'll happily
play them. Just email us or text us or dm
us or whatever. Yeah, for sure. I don't know how
do you text us?
Speaker 7 (17:03):
You can't you eighty eight?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Just find us? You know what it is, Andrew. In
the studio that I'm in, they shut the air conditioning off.
It's so hot that I'm just dripping sweat. The thermostat
says seventy nine on it, and I'm a disgusting period. Yeah,
they won't give me air conditioning. Why I don't know,
but I'm busting my ass to come in here. Everyone
is home quarantine, hiding in their house. I'm driving into
the city every day and they can't even give me
(17:26):
an air conditioned studio.
Speaker 7 (17:28):
That's so sad. Do you want me to send you
ice pack?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Yes? Please? So I don't even know what I'm talking
about anyway, just dm us on Instagram or Twitter and
let me know what old Cereal commercials that you want
to hear that I'll bring you back to your childhood
because that makes me happy.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Well, I guess there's no ratings that need to go
into the sheet because you just did no Cereal.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Yeah, the sheet's just going to say episode ninety nine
nothing perfect love that for us. Well, please follow us
on all social platforms. It's Serial Killers PC. That's Cereal

one hundred, where we'll have all the technological stuff all

I'm always shocked on it.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Or do you have fresh milk? I do, actually, and
I know that being not very cereal smart, you don't
know what any of those cereals are just by looking
at them.
Speaker 5 (18:54):

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
