New Article: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cereal!

Here's a new article that expands on something touched on in a previous one -- the full tribute to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cereal! I love the fact that it existed, and bought it several times, but I don't care what anyone says -- this stuff just wasn't tasty. Especially when you open up a box that's been sitting around for fourteen years, which I do in this article. Commercial download is included, along with a short story about Michaelangelo's trip to the grocery store. New design is alllmost finished, so I'll link this one off the main page once it's done.

Anything Ninja Turtles is AWESOME. I’d love to see a review of the video game– the arcade version, the oldschool NES version, anything. If he does the NES version, we better get a taste of that crazy secret level in the sewers. You know, where there’s the guy made of fire, and big frog guys, and little things hopping around that look like legs? Aw hell, I’ve got to find that game again.
Anyhow, I hope we get a break from cereals for a while. When you find out about every holiday cereal ever and then it’s followed up by TMNT cereal, you start to go a little nuts.

Christian-Are you referring to the place where you can fight Napoleon Bonafrog? Anyway, if you want that game, I’m sure there are plenty of places where you can download the ROM.

Ok, first off, Happy New Year to Matt and all bloggers! I hope all of you had a great night and actually remember having a great night. ; 0 ) I spent New Year’s Eve eating home-made pizza and cake and watching "Perfect Strangers" with a friend I don’t often get to see.

I recall all of the TMNT stuff everyone’s mentioned. I don’t remember ever having the toys, but we may have tried the cereal (or my sisters may have, since I’ve never liked cereal with marshmallows) and certainly had the fruit snacks and pasta many times. I don’t think I ever had the pie. And I do remember the cereal commercial! I thought the thing with the nets was funny as a kid.

i was a lion-Craft stores like Micheal’s and Hobby Lobby carry stuff like that miniature shopping cart,which is where I assume Matt got his. They carry all kinds of miniature stuff small enough for action figures to use,i.e fast food cups,books,food,you name it they got it.

The part about using donatello’s lazer gone to turn raph into a cereal bowl made me unable to form coherent thought or sentences for quite sometime. matt how did u look at the bowl and think that? that was bloody hilarious.

I went nearly a whole day without posting. That’s kinda scary. I hope everyone had an interesting New Years eve and day. Mine was very interesting and strange at the same time. Anyhoo, here’s to another 365 or so days filled with merriment and cheer and joyous nostalgia.

Is it alright to admit I actually liked this cereal when I was little?

Chestnuts roasted by Josh @ 01/02/2004 4:16 AM

i wasnt really interested in TMNT, partly cause it was aimed at boys and cause i was too young. or old. i dont know. its all a blur.

but we did see the TMNT movie @ the drive-in (the one where they were in real-life, not the cartoon) and the one thing i do remember, is how scary those turtles costumes looked. i mean look at the eyes and teeth, man! *shudders*

i hated any cereal with anything remotely resembling chex, but i still ate boxes of this crap… in my opinion, count chocula will forever be king of cereal.

This stuff was great. I remembered looking for this stuff like it was crack. I thought that this was just a fad, but I found that when Ralston resurrected the cereal in the form of Spider-Man, I went on the hunt once again. Also, I remember the rice nets being pretty tasty.

I have a pie card with Splinter on it.

GODDAMN! I LOVED ME THEM NINJA TURTLE PUDDIN’ PIES! I have to admit the neon green color they were coated with will ultimately be my demise, but I swear for like a week straight my neighbor and I ate nothing but those turtle tumors. I secretly pray for the day they return albeit in another form ala ecto cooler!

think turtles pies were bad? in the UK Asda (now owened by Wal Mart) supermarkets sold Turtle Pizza covered with ice cream and marshmellows!

anyone know more about this as i did try and erase this thought from my mind!

Chestnuts roasted by soapdish @ 01/02/2004 4:08 PM

I thought TMNT Cereal was the shit! It was the only gimmick cereal that i bought on a regular basis. Come on! Chex with Marshmallo, fucking great!

Someone just reminded me of that damn Nintendo cereal they had way back when… Who does Matt kill to get all this stuff from….in damn near mint condition. First the 15 year old box of Christmas Crunch, and now this…I guess a better question is who the fuck actually holds on to this stuff?

P.S.- Yeah, them pies were dope~

I used to have this cool holographic TMNT Cereal t-shirt that I got by sending in a proof of purchuse and (probably) money. It was really ugly.

This cereal was my second favorite. Right behind Dino Pebbles

Dood
You americans had it easy. when I got ninja turtle cereal i only wish it was chex and marshmallows..
Up here in canada we had this nasty cereal that was green turtls heads that made your milk green. I was sure to get my mom to buy me three boxes a week. no one in my house ate it but me.
lucky americans and their white milk.

Chestnuts roasted by Terrence @ 01/05/2004 4:14 PM

Heheh. I remember forcing myself to like the stuff because the turtles were on the box. Really… It was just chex with marshmallows.

Chestnuts roasted by Adrastia @ 01/06/2004 4:42 AM

I have the box cover for this cereal, along with every other cereal box that was promotional from the late 80′s to the mid 90′s. I think my brothers and I ate five or six boxes of this stuff…it was good.

my mom has about a half hour or longer video from when i was little of a ninja turtle dancing to the theme song in a local grocery store to promote the ninja turtle cookies.

i found this treasure recently while going through family videos. maybe i’ll send it in and you can do something with it.

Chestnuts roasted by Tony @ 01/07/2004 11:47 AM

That would be excellent, Tony — e-mail me!

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 01/07/2004 1:16 PM

There was another TMNT cerial , at least in canada and it was all green and I actually did buy it for the taste. It was out around 1994.
