Freakies Cereal!
So apparently there was a cereal called Freakies back in the 1980’s that had little monsters as its mascot (aka Freakies). The whole thing looks nuts to me and I am wondering if anyone remembers the cereal and if so, how did it taste. I would also like to point out the similarities between the checkered flag and that of the Purina dog food symbol.

I used to eat Freakies. I just remembered this last night telling my nine year old stories from my childhood. It was my favorite cereal. The year was 1973. I collected the Freakies prizes. The cereal tasted like a cross between Alphabits and Capt. Crunch.
