Get Your Kix

Fun game: guess the cereal based on one letter from its logo (via J-Walk). I got about two-thirds correct - including the elusive "Z", which is probably known only to people who were of prime cereal-eating age around 1978.

Brad... just think "insane bovine."

I got ten. Though I question the validity of any cereal game that doesn't include Cap 'n Crunch.

Heh.
Thanks, Dan!

I watched too much TV as a kid, I guess. I got 21 of them correct. I don't know how I remembered Z but I did. That cereal must've been on the shelves for about a month in the late 70s. It took a few tries to get V, since they have the name spelled incorrectly in the 'correct' answer.

They also misspelled Froot Loops.

I'm stumped on B, M, R, and W. Oh please help me.

Also, the whole "buy this answer" thing is a strange business model that I can't imagine working out.

Oh, and Q?!?!

Posted by: kmel at July 14, 2004 06:45 AM

Those were the same ones I was stumped on, in addition to the L. The R is Franken Berry.

Posted by: Matt at July 14, 2004 01:52 PM

The L is good ol' Corn Flakes.

Posted by: kmel at July 14, 2004 05:30 PM

B is from the Fred Flinstone family of cereals. Please, anyone, what's the M?

Posted by: donnagirl at July 15, 2004 02:24 PM

Got 'em all but Q. Darned Q-cereal.
