Cereal Obsession - Spiderman

What do you eat for breakfast when you have been bitten by a radioactive spider? That's right, Spiderman cereal.

This cereal came out in 1995 before the Spiderman movies hit the big screen. It was a tie-in to the Spiderman cartoon on Fox Kids. I have said it before and I will say it again. This was the best crap cereal I have ever had. Maybe it was because I was a crazy sugar junkie back then. Maybe it is just nostalgia, but I will stand by my conviction. This cereal was crazy awesome. Why? Simple. It was frosted Crsipix (spiderwebs, get it?) with Lucky Charms marshmallows. If you already know of my affinity for marshmallows for breakfast you will understand why I could not get enough of Spiderman. As superhero cereals went, I preferred the spider to the bat.

Unfortunately, it was in limited edition, and is now gone. Kellogg's puts out a Spiderman cereal every time a new movie comes out, but it is not the same. They vary from sad Cap'n Crunch rip-offs to sad Trix rip-offs

Ralston, meanwhile, has turned to making crap cereals, but I think they should bring back my man Spidey, or forget the tie-in. I just want my frosted Crispix with marshmallows.

I will leave you with the marshmallow descriptions listed on the side of the box of the original. They had to print them there because even the non-deformed ones (of which there were few) were intelligible.
