#22: We All Scream for Ice Cream… Cereal
As you saw with the Gremlins cereal, the 80s made this breakfast staple more about pop culture than a healthy morning meal. General Mills was not going to pass this opportunity up, so they jumped right in with ice cream cone cereal. In other words, this was essentially a way of serving ice cream to kids before 8 am.

Some of the cereals were simply shaped like the real deal, while others were flavored to taste like vanilla ice cream or waffle cones. With prizes inside, like gumballs, kids couldn’t wait to open a box, and we will forever cherish those days.
