Nothing says childhood like a favorite cereal

Quisp might be the very most bizzarre event in human history. A cereal based on a marketing agenda that capitalized on the space program of the 60's to make kids want to eat mini brown-sugar frisbees. It vanished suddenly enough and long enough to become iconic. Now it's back and they sell it by the boatload. Iconic and ironic. All in a little blue box.

Those surgical-looking implements next to Quisp are nothing but  a coffee-measurer-outer and a bottle opener. Sorry. Bad photo shoot. It was impulsive.

I think I remember these, but I'm not sure (only because I don't know if my parents would have bought them).  But the name sounds really familiar...

Eh?  Where have I been?  Never heard of this one, but I'll look for it next time out.  Hmm, from the 60s you say.. Did they even bother to change the box?  ¤Holly
