I also crave my childhood cereals at times, but when I get them they don't taste nearly the same...

Product 19 is similar to Special K, I think. I remember seeing King Vitamin but I never ate it. Quisp was alien cereal in the shape of saucers. The alien reminded me of Q*bert.

It's a combination of your taste buds changing, which happens in your 30s and again somewhere between 50-60ish and the companies changing their formulas to meet current standards.

I can't even tell you how disappointed I was when I tried the Monster cereals as an adult (Boo Berry and Franken Berry for those that don't know what I'm talking about). Lucky Charms still taste okay. Not as good as then but not as bad as most of the others.
