Toonfomercial: Remember Shreddies? (1993)

 Like, Shreddies were Canada's answer to Wheat Chex, eh? Oh, you didn't know? Well, we'll forgive you, since they were created in Canada, after all.

At first glance, you'd think Shreddies were shorthand for Shredded Wheat, and probably is. Nabisco made this cereal until sold to Post or Nestle, depending on what part of the globe you live in. I don't think it's ever made it here to America, where comparisons to Wheat Chex, Frosted Mini-Wheats, et al, would be inevitable.

In this 1993 ad, more suited for Halloween, two talking pieces of cereal encounter some goblins, and are lucky not to end up as a snack, eh?


I'm more of a Corn Chex guy myself.
