But now at least we know it’s easy enough to recreate at home.

Mini Trix
Mini Trix came and went in a flash.
This cereal was released in the mid-2010s and was exactly what it sounds like: mini Trix pieces.

Whereas the classic Trix cereal is small fruit-shaped pieces, Mini Trix were tiny fruit-flavored pellets.
Kellogg’s creation was quite simply toasted rice cereal with marshmallow pieces.
It was basically the ingredients for Rice Krispie Treats, so why did it go away?

We’re still very unhappy about this and would like this cereal to come back.

Sprinkle Spangles
What’s not to love about Sprinkle Spangles?
This cereal was like mini sugar cookie pieces in a bowl.
The popular ’90s cereal was sweetened corn puffs covered in rainbow sprinkles.

Like we said: What is not to love?
Also, the box was colorful and had sprinkles all over it, and the name was fun.
Despite how popular it might have been in the ’90s, though, this cereal did not last.

Pac-Man
Pac-Man had his own cereal in the 1980s.
Like many kinds of cereal, it was sweetened corn puffs with marshmallow bits.

Naturally, the marshmallows were shaped like Pac-Man characters.
For those of us who love to put sliced bananas in cereal anyways, this breakfast option was ideal.
Choco Donuts
Cap’n Crunch has had a lot of cereals in its family.
Quaker/YouTube
Like, a lot.
Quaker billed Choco Donuts as one of its “Oops!”
cereals, claiming they were made by accident.
General Mills/YouTube
And you know what?
Maybe originally they were.
Maybe Quaker didn’t set out to create tiny rings of chocolatey goodness that look like teeny tiny donuts.
But maybe once it happened, they threw some sprinkles on for extra convincing and called it a day.

Rainbow Brite
This cereal box just screams “’80s.”
The sweet cereal was multicolored, just like our favorite doll, Rainbow Brite.

They also came in a chocolate flavor, which was the perfect way to start the school day.
This one took Golden Grahams and made them chocolate before adding marshmallows to the mix.
It was sweet, delicious, and felt like summer.

The cereal, though, was all about the bestRugratscharacter, Reptar, so it was dinosaur-shaped.

This cereal was sweet and delicious but only lasted for a little bit.

Each was fruit flavored with a ridiculously fun mascot on the front, hence their names.
The cereal was blue and red pieces of sweet goodness.
But as The Smurfs got less popular, so did the cereal.

The marshmallow shapes also included the turtles' weapons, but the pizza was the real star.
The cereal itself was supposed to look like little nets, but it was pretty much just Chex.
It didn’t matter; we loved it, along with the plastic bowls the cereal was packaged with.
General Mills/YouTube
We miss the old shapes from the early 2000s, even if the puffs taste the same.
