Had some REAL GOOD homemade Eggs Benny.
Egg Yolks, melted butter and Sherry, all cooked together, then poured over poached eggs on English muffins, with bacon and hasbrowns...with extra sauce to dip the bacon and Hashbrowns in...and also an extra English Muffin to saok up the leftover sauce in the pot.
Probebly healthier to take a bullet in the chest...but MMMMmmmmMMMM.

Oh yeah! Quisp and Quake! I liked Quisp better -- the gods alone know why, it was the same bloody cereal in a different shape....

Heresy!!! Recant now while you can. Quisp rules all! Quake has been driven from the planet in utter shame!aliantha wrote:Quisp and Quake! ... it was the same bloody cereal in a different shape....
From Wikipedia (source of all truly questionable knowledge):
still in ... limited internet distribution?Quisp and Quake were two sugar-sweetened breakfast cereals originally released in 1965 in the U.S. by The Quaker Oats Company and generally advertised together (during the same commercial) as products competing against each other. The very successful ads were cartoons created by Jay Ward of Rocky and Bullwinkle fame, and used some of the same voices, including Daws Butler as the voice of Quisp (an alien) and William Conrad as the voice of Quake (a miner).
In 1970, a contest was held by Quaker Oats to see whose cereal was the more popular of the two. In 1972, Quisp won, and Quake retreated underground. Quake, the cartoon character, reappeared in a new cereal called Quangaroos where he obtained an orange kangaroo as well as putting his mining helmet down in favor of an Aussie motif.
In the late-1970s, Quisp was removed from grocery stores due to low sales. It re-emerged in the mid-1980s, and finally was re-introduced in the 1990s as the "first Internet cereal" and is still in limited distribution.

Go to www.quisp.com/ and click on the blue box that reads "Buy Quisp". Note the shirt and the watch! My children would disown me. I wonder if they take WGDs...aliantha wrote: If you find it, post a link!

That is too funny. I bet the shipping would be more than the cost of one box of cereal!
The t-shirt is awesome. I might have to get one....
(Apparently if I lived in Denver, I could buy Quisp at Albertson's.... )

We have Dollar Generals here in NY. I will try to remember to check it out. As one of my favorite 70's tennis professionals John Newcomb used to say "I'm on it like a rash!" *Starting in early March 2008, many Dollar General Stores (especially in, but not limited to, OH, PA, WV, and much of the Northeast US) will begin selling Quisp (as well as other classics such as King Vitamin, Crunchy Corn Bran, and Honey Graham Oh's).

No no, feel free to speak for me on this! Remember when Sugar Crisp was Sugar Crisp, and not We're-Trying-to-Hide-the-Sugar-Content-by-Renaming-It Crisp? Corn Pops were Sugar Pops, too, weren't they? Are Sugar Smacks still Sugar Smacks, or did they get renamed too?AjK wrote:Perhaps you were merely not a card carrying member of the sugar cereal club like I was. (I can't speak for Aliantha.)

I'm not that much younger than ali, yet I do not recall Quisp and Quake at all...

When I was a kid, Frosted Flakes and Lucky Charms were among my favorites. (OK, I'll admit they're still consumed as a treat here once in awhile.) But yeah, I never cared for Capt'n Crunch, Sugar Crisp/Pops/Smacks, or other highly sweetened cereals besides those two.
Even so, I watched a lot of Saturday morning cartoons. I should have at least seen the ads?
We moved to south Florida in '69. Maybe it wasn't marketed down there. But if it was sold in NY, I should have seen the ads when we lived on Long Island before moving to Florida...

I cannot speak authoritatively but I highly doubt that any cereal has kept the word sugar in its name. I believe that it was one of my favorite cereals from the 70's "Sugar Coated Sugar Cubes" that toppled the applecart (candied apples of course) and caused the change in trend. These days I confine myself to Special K or as I like to call them "Zero-Trans-Fat Low-Carb Sugar-Free Wood Chips".
