Cereal Graveyard Wiki

This collection pays tribute to many loved and lost (and some not-so-well-loved) cereal varieties.

In order to complete my database of discontinued cereal varieties I have resolved to undertake individualized research regarding each particular variety in my collection. I’ve compiled a list using various websites, and though it’s not, and may never be, fully inclusive, most of the cereals that we’ve seen disappear from the shelves over the years can be found in this assemblage. Because comprehensive records were not always digitized or well-kept in previous decades, some gaps in information are to be expected, and much of the research for such a collection must be done with some leeway and flexibility.

You can access my complete list here.

All I can reasonably provide at this time are digital image files of each cereal box and as much textual information as I can scrape up to represent each cereal. 

When contributing images include, when possible, a front and back view of each cereal box and, if available, side panels and nutritional information. Please drag images to the top of each page and drag the width out to 420px. Commercial videos are at default size from YouTube (330px). Please align these videos to the right or deselect text wrapping.

My digital images have been collected from Flickr and MrBreakfast.com.

The copyright for these images is most likely held by either the company responsible for marketing the product or the manufacturer which produced the cover or product itself. In most cases the original source of online publication is unknown; however I do provide links to the immediate sources from which I derive my content. Images of these cereal boxes can already easily be found online.  I am making such material available here for educational purposes only in an effort to study and uncover our society’s past, trends, values, and standards (when it comes to breakfast cereal).
