Lets all start an email campaign and petition them to bring Smurf Berry Crunch cereal back. It was the #1 cereal of all time I am sure if enough people inquire vial email they would have to, right. Kraft is the parent company of Post cereal and they have a suggestion website to submit requests and ideas. http://www.kraftfoods.com/innovatewithkraft/default.aspx SMURF BERRY CRUNCH IS THE BEST EVER MADE!!!!!

You couldn't possibly have a list of great cereal commercials without the classic Mikey Life commercial OR the Dancing Raisins Kelloggs Raisin Bran cereal commercial!!

Many, in fact, were indicative of an 80's trend to create Saturday morning cartoon shows whose characters existed for no other purpose than to sell sugar-filled cereal to impressionable young viewers. As one who has seen a half century of cereal advertising, I can think of only three that made any sort of long-lasting impression on me. The first is the Life cereal commercial that we all know -- the one featuring Mikey. The second was a brilliant 60-second spot featuring Snap, Crackle and Pop singing individually and then singing staggered lyrics all at the same time. The words, "Geese cackle, feathers tickle, belts buckle, beets pickle, but Crackle makes the world go round" still echo in my mind some forty years later. The third, while not quite as brilliant, was no less memorable. It featured a gorgeous woman in a classy white one-piece bathing suit eating cereal on her patio, while a voice-over chimed, "and if you think Quaker cereal is just for babes ... it is!"

For starters, every single commercial except one is a non-cereal tie-in. Crispy Critters, yes, that's a classic. I can't see how you can have a great cereal commercial from a lame cereal and 9/10 are lame. What's amazing to me is that the "mikey" commercials were left out.

After all, "Smurf Berry Crunch is fun to eat, a tasty fruity breakfast treat". Thanks for the GI Joe ad, I had completely forgotten about it. Where’s the love for the Smurf Berry Crunch commercial?

The C3POs cereal, "Two O's fused as one!", was such utter stupidity when you look back at it. WTF did a 8 shape have to do with anything? Remember most of those commercials.
