Screaming Yellow Zonkers and Quisp -- but no Quake ????

My favorite childhood foods...

And Kaboom... an appropriately named cereal.

Why did they stop making those?

D-Oooooh...

Eenie Meenie Chili Beanie dwacon is about to speak:

Quaker still makes Quisp. You can buy it online.

But not Quake.

Boo hoo...

=v= Poor Quake. Back in the 1970s, big burly miners must've fallen out of favor, because he lost a popularity contest. They put him in a remerchandising-O-matic machine and turned him into an Australian, complete with a Quangaroo, but it didn't help his sales.

=v= Quisp lives on, though his lover Qunchy has gone missing. <_Jym_>

Quisp was light and fluffy... Quake was hard and crunchy.

I loved the way Quake cracked the enamel on your teeth so that the sugar seeped in even faster to give you dental caries.

Too bad my family was poor and we had to get a discount dentist. Anasthetic was extra... but he had a loud stereo booming Parliament Funkadelic to drown out the screaming.

The Australian Quake should have been renamed "Queer" -- which would have helped sales IMO.

=v= In the 1990s, when Queer Nation hit the scene, the
letter "Q" was suddenly pretty popular amongst a certain
demographic.  Quisp and Qunchy were detourneed
quite a bit then. :^)                                    .--.

=v= Speaking of Quake and Quips, they appear in picture frames in yesterday's _Soup_to_Nutz_ comic strip:

=v= In general this strip reminds me of Bongo's childhood
travails in _Life_in_Hell_.  (Bongo himself appeared
in a picture frame in the strip, not so long ago.)       .-.

If only they'd held out till the 1980s. But what was with that cape? There's something kind of *ennnhhh* about a guy with a cape. Speaking of which, I saw Quentin Crisp at Fellini's Pizza (L5P, Atlanta, GA) some 20 years ago (didn't dare talk to him for fear of a withering witticism) Now *there's* a name for a cereal. Hmmm - Quentin Quisp...

I absolutely loved the Screaming Yellow Zonkers' inclusion during the Peter Max 'this KISS' scene.

My cousin had his cealing in his room almost covered with Zonkers boxes. Loved 'em.

=v= Yes, especially the way they screamed 'n' all.       .--.

------- Did he have the Zonkers Brand Home Pregnancy Kit, or Zonkers Brand cotton swabs? ;)

Jay

I don't believe there was any such things.
