Space dude with a propeller on his head. How about Kaboom, kind of like fruit loops with marshmallows (and when Fruit Loops really did put in marshmallows, it became one of the top 10 cereals of all time). Kaboom had I think a clown on the box. Quisp truly rocked the casbah. Space dude with a propeller on his head.

I won Donkey Kong shoe laces which sounds weak but I still had to wait a month to get them via USPS. I do not agree with the review of DK cereal. I thought it was horrible and tasted like animal food. There was no flavor of milk that could mask the after taste that shipped with DK. I am not sure if it is still around but I was a big fan of Kaboom in college. Donkey Kong cereal is the only cereal I ever won a sweepstakes prize from.

I think the original Holy Grail of failed cereal campaigns has to be Quisp and Quake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E70QI7m5uqI They were heavily promoted via Jay-Ward Studios (Hoppity Hooper, Bullwinkle, Super-Chicken, George Of The Jungle, et al), and were seemingly primed for multi-level licensing saturation. Wonder why they never took off? The cereal itself was okay - just your typical sweetened corn puffs, similar to Trix. Freakies were not bad.
