30 Retro Cereal Boxes Plus Nerds Cereal

30 Retro Cereal Boxes. Some fun stuff! The biggest omission would be NERDS. I was a big fan of nerds cereal even to the point of collecting enough UPCs to get a special nerds cereal bowl. The bowl was divided in half with a “flood gate” between the two sides. I only wish I knew where this bowl was now. Eating cereal could be fun again.

Want your own box of Ghostbusters Cereal? You can actually buy one…I wouldn’t recommend eating it though.

I had forgotten about the holograms on cereal boxes craze!
