The
breakfast cereal based on the Swedish
Chef was called
Croonchy Stars and existed for about six months in 1988. The
best part about it was the
packaging which was covered with
puzzles that were way too
difficult for
children - the one I remember is the
challenge to
solve Zeno's Paradox. The
cereal itself was a
Cap'n Crunch knock off with a slightly
cardboardish taste and the same
mouth serrating texture (How am I supposed to tell what the
cereal tastes like without the
blood in my
mouth.)
As far as I know (and I did check every time that I was at the supermarket), there were only three different box designs. A truly ironic and brilliant moment in breakfast history probably caused by a COO being on vacation or something.
