Seven much-loved British breakfast cereals from the 80s and 90s that are no longer on the shelves

Breakfast is often hailed as the most crucial meal of the day.

A bowl of tasty cereal doused in ice-cold milk is a common choice for those rushing off to school or work, and it's frequently a hit with the kids. However, some iconic cereals from the 80s and 90s are no longer available to today's youngsters - many have been removed from the shelves as brands strive to be more health-conscious.

Let's take a look at some of the cereals that people remember most fondly, according to the Express.

Ricicles

This sweet Kellogg's cereal was a big hit with children, along with its chocolate version, Choco Ricicles.

The cereal was similar to Rice Krispies but had a frosted sugar coating. However, there was widespread disappointment when it was discontinued in 2017 due to its high sugar content.

Sugar Puffs

The original Sugar Puffs were launched in 1957 and were a honey-flavoured, sugar-coated cereal.

But there was a significant change in 2014 when it changed its name to Honey Monster Puffs, and the original recipe was also altered to include less sugar, more honey - and sadly, according to many fans, less flavour.

Start

Kellogg's Start was introduced in the 80s and marketed as enhancing performance in sports, making it a real favourite among adults.

But in 2018, it was pulled from the shelves despite petitions to bring it back.

Banana Bubbles

This Kellogg's cereal consisted of rice grains with a rich banana flavour - and it made the milk taste like a banana milkshake.

In 1996, it was revealed that Kellogg's would be discontinuing the cereal along with Golden Crisp as part of a strategy to introduce new products.

Corn Pops

Launched by Kellogg's in 1993, Corn Pops came with the catchy slogan "you can't stop a corn popper popping more corn". While these flakes are no longer available on UK shelves, they remain a staple in American supermarkets.

Golden Grahams

The delectably tempting Nestle Golden Grahams were pulled from production in 2021. The reason?

They contained high levels of salt, sugar, and fat.

Force Flakes

Established in the US in 1901 and produced in the UK from 1954, Force Flakes were a pioneer in the breakfast cereal market as the first commercially successful wheat flake cereal. However, their run came to an end when they were discontinued in 2013.
