  • - They're so yummy!

  • - Don't you want a flavor on your cereal?

  • Come on.

  • ♪ (French accordion music) ♪

  • - (FBE) We're gonna try some retro cereals today.

  • - Cereal. Yay, I like cereal!

  • - Oh my goodness. Thank you.

  • Cereal? I have cereal three times a day.

  • - Cereals. I didn't have that much

  • breakfast today.

  • - I feel excited and nervous at the same time.

  • I feel like it would be expired.

  • - (FBE) So, a lot of these cereals were discontinued

  • and then brought back due to their popularity.

  • - Okay. I don't think I know

  • any cereals from back then, so we'll see about these.

  • - They're not gonna be as sweet as the ones we have now.

  • - My mom used to talk about old cereals and stuff.

  • I think it'll be cool to see old cereals and what

  • they taste like and stuff and their names, too.

  • - Trix might be a retro cereal. I can envision it being

  • in the '80s, 'cause it's all colorful and the '80s

  • was colorful.

  • - I'm so happy. I love Kids Vs Food episodes.

  • I love trying things. I mean, I'm a foodie.

  • - (FBE) Here's your first cereal. - Frosted--

  • wait, what? Wait, are these Corn Flakes?

  • - They look like Frosted Flakes.

  • - It looks like Frosted Flakes, but a little more orange

  • and without the sugar on it.

  • - These are good. They are corn,

  • but they're puffier than Corn Flakes.

  • I feel like they were the predecessor to Corn Flakes.

  • - I think it's pretty good. I actually kinda like it.

  • - I like it. Teeny bit sweet,

  • but mostly plain.

  • - It's kinda sweet, yeah. It's nice and crunchy.

  • Taste stays in your mouth for a while.

  • - I feel like I've had this before.

  • I don't know why, 'cause it looks so familiar

  • and it tastes familiar.

  • - (FBE) This is Quisp. Quisp was originally made

  • in the '60s and then it stopped being made some time

  • in the late '70s. However, in 2012,

  • it was brought back. - Oh my God,

  • that is so long ago!

  • - I don't know why they discontinued it.

  • It's so good. Maybe another good cereal

  • came out that's better than this.

  • - I'm not expecting this to become a major corporation,

  • but it's pretty cool, like a blast from the past.

  • - (FBE) Here's your next one. - This looks like Rice Krispies.

  • - These look like the Rice Krispies cereal.

  • It smells like it, too. I can smell it.

  • - Let's see how they taste.

  • It's pretty good. Tastes like a marshmallow.

  • - Whoa. The first bite is like, whoa.

  • - Mm, it's good. I like how sweet it is.

  • It kinda tastes like Rice Krispies,

  • 'cause it's like marshmallow.

  • - Rice Krispies, as much as I like it,

  • it doesn't taste super ricey and it's a little bit dull.

  • This is so much better, by a million times.

  • It's more hard and just more interesting.

  • - I would like the Rice Krispie Treats better than this,

  • but it's yummy. I like it.

  • - (FBE) So, this is Rice Krispie Treats cereal.

  • It was made in 1993 and then disappeared in the 2000's.

  • However, you can still find it on Amazon and some Walmarts.

  • - Hm, okay. Taste is good.

  • I'd suggest it to all the viewers out there.

  • - I just had a Rice Krispie Treat before I came here.

  • It tastes exactly like this.

  • - (FBE) Here's another. - This looks like pieces of bread.

  • - The cereal kind of looks like tiny little pieces of toast.

  • - It's cute. Mini toast.

  • - It smells like French toast.

  • - I don't really like how big they are.

  • - They taste like French toast. They're delicious.

  • - Cinnamon, yum. I love how they're like

  • mini toast. They're so adorable.

  • - Tastes like gingerbread. It's very delicious.

  • - It does feel like French toast, because it's softer in the middle

  • and it feels crusty on the side. So far, these are all

  • really good cereals.

  • - (FBE) So, this is French Toast Crunch.

  • It was made in 1995 and it's flavored to taste

  • like French toast. - So, this came before

  • Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Copiers.

  • - They did an amazing job making it taste like French toast.

  • - This one is my favorite so far because right when you get cereal,

  • you normally smell it. This is a good smell

  • and I like the cereal a lot.

  • - (FBE) So, here is another. - Okay.

  • Looks kinda like tiny, little tractor wheels.

  • - It looks like the first one, but in a different shape.

  • A star with a hole in it?

  • - Ugh, nah. First thing,

  • there's no flavor. Don't you want a flavor

  • in your cereal? Come on.

  • - Mm-mm, I don't like it. It tastes like the first one,

  • but with nothing-- no flavor.

  • - I think this might just be the best one.

  • It's the least sweet. All the other ones,

  • I can tell there was sugar. They felt like sweet corn

  • or sweet rice, but this one,

  • it really is kinda more bitterish.

  • - I like them, but I kinda don't like them.

  • They're plain. They don't have that much

  • flavor to them.

  • - I don't really like it. It's too plain.

  • There's no sugar in it.

  • - (FBE) So, this is King Vitaman.

  • It first hit the market way back in 1968.

  • - Wow, that's-- this cereal's pretty old.

  • - I don't think I would have it for breakfast with milk.

  • I feel like it would be better without milk.

  • - I think the name kind of doesn't sound--

  • you said "Vitaman?" It sounds like vitamins,

  • so most kids probably didn't wanna get it

  • 'cause of the name.

  • - (FBE) Here you go. - It smells like syrup.

  • - It smells like pancakes with syrup.

  • - They look like waffles.

  • - Let's try it.

  • It's really crunchy.

  • - I don't really get the taste. It's kinda sweet and plain.

  • - It's good, but it kinda takes a while

  • for the flavor to kick in.

  • - I can taste syrup and waffle in this.

  • These are good.

  • - It has that awesome cinnamon flavor.

  • It's like flavor blasted, flavor popping in my mouth.

  • I love it.

  • - (FBE) So, this was Waffle Crisp.

  • Waffle Crisp was made in 1996.

  • It is maple flavored corn cereal bits

  • in a waffle shape. - Yeah.

  • I can definitely taste the syrup.

  • - Now I taste the maple syrup. It's weird because

  • I had pancakes this morning. I'm like, this tastes

  • like I just had it.

  • - And now this is making me hungry for my dad's waffles.

  • They're so yummy!

  • - (FBE) So overall, how did you feel about

  • all this cereal? - Gave me lots of energy

  • and I loved it.

  • - It was really fun. There was a lot of cereals.

  • Now I'm gonna feel like I ate breakfast just now.

  • - I would probably buy a lot of them

  • and I would probably tell my friends or something

  • to get them.

  • - I love them. I wanna eat them all again.

  • They were so yummy.
