It was a golden age of carefree bliss—and lots and lots of Lucky Charms. Whether your preferred cereal was Froot Loops, Trix (the fruit-shaped kind) or Frosted Flakes, we were pretty much spoilt for choice. But beyond the enduring breakfast table mainstays, there were even more 90s cereal options available than you probably remember.
Pop-Tarts Crunch ring a bell? How about Major League Grand Slams? Mr. T Cereal? If those jogged your memory and have you feeling nostalgic for the days when life was as simple as pouring a bowl and hoping to find the mystery toy buried inside the box, then here are eight more discontinued breakfast cereals you completely forgot about until now.

1. Sprinkle Spangles
The sugary-sweet cereal was first launched in 1993, but it was pulled from shelves after less than a year due to lackluster sales. Primarily, the intense sugar cookie-inspired flavor wasn’t a hit with everyone (mostly parents), and the added rainbow sprinkles were almost guaranteed to tear up the roof of your mouth. Not the most ideal way to start the morning, but unsurprisingly, Sprinkle Spangles still has a dedicated fan base that continues to hope for its dazzling return.
2. Oreo O’s
Luckily, they’ve never been formally discontinued, just constantly rebranded, with the most recent revamp being Oreo Puffs. Instead of crunchy Oreo-flavored rings, the new iteration features puffed rounds.
3. Urkel-Os
Although the buzzy cereal was a hot item when it debuted in 1991, as the show's popularity waned, sales declined, leading to its unfortunate discontinuation sometime in 1993. In the endlessly endearing words of Steve himself, “Did I do that?”
4. French Toast Crunch
Unfortunately, it was discontinued in the U.S. in 2006, but due to immense fan demand, General Mills decided to bring it back to shelves in 2014.

5. Cinnamon Mini Buns
After launching in 1991 and receiving rave reviews from fans, Kellogg’s discontinued the cereal in 2000 but then rebranded it as Mini Swirlz in 2005. The cereal was discontinued again in 2009, only to make yet another comeback as Cinnabon cereal.
6. Hidden Treasures
It was unfortunately discontinued in 1995 after only being on shelves for less than two years.
7. Dino Pebbles
Unfortunately, after just a few years, Dino Pebbles were pulled from shelves and haven’t been seen since. On the bright side, Malt-O-Meal carries its own version of Dino Pebbles called Dyno-Bites that you can find at most major grocery stores.
8. Cracker Jack Cereal
Much like the snack it was named after, Cracker Jack Cereal was a caramel-coated corn puff, complete with a prize in every box. With so much going for it, you’d think we’d still see it on shelves today, but perhaps it was just ahead of its time. Here’s hoping this one's on the list of cereals to bring back from the dead.
