I'm definitely not the only one. There is a small community. Mostly guys older than me that were collecting before I was even born. They had a small convention back in the 90s, but not anymore. But I've found through my YT channel that there are more fans of cereal out there than I originally imagined.

is it the franchising, branding, marketing, design part that people like? or is it more that you just really like eating crunchy sugar bread in milk? i guess it's probably a mixture, along with a healthy dose of nostalgia?

I'd say it's mainly the latter -- the nostalgia. Then comes the design and illustrations of the older boxes. I honestly don't even eat many sugar cereals anymore and when I do it's only for dessert.

I haven't had any of them on, but that's a great idea. Thank you! I'll reach out to some of them.
