The box above says \u201cnatural banana-flavored sugar frosted flakes of corn,\u201d but other boxes have said \u201cfrosted flakes of corn with banana.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know which one I ate while determining the villain was the creepy old man wearing a mask, but I remember the cereal being gr-r-reater than regular Frosted Flakes. I think I loved this cereal more than actual bananas. It had a strong fruity flavor and the banana bits were crunchy. I think they were bits of banana chips and not freeze-dried, because partially hydrogenated coconut oil is listed as one of the ingredients. <\/p>\n<p>The cereal was introduced in 1981 and discontinued in 1984. But while it was on shelves, it was a regular addition to the shopping cart because it was my favorite cereal. And I think I might&#8217;ve cried when I couldn&#8217;t find them anymore. I also remember being the only person in the house who ate it. So lucky 8-year-old me!<\/p>\n<p>Banana Frosted Flakes is the number one breakfast cereal I\u2019d like to bring back from Cereal Heaven. Sorry, Post Oreo O\u2019s. I\u2019ll get to you when Banana Frosted Flakes is part of my complete breakfast once again. But, to be honest, I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;ll happen. What made the cereal so great was the banana, but fried banana chips aren&#8217;t wholesome enough for today&#8217;s Frosted Flakes.<\/p>\n<p>Do you remember Banana Frosted Flakes Cereal?<\/p>\n<p><div style=\"text-align:center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iDLSxZEHJvU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><i>Image used with permission from Jason Liebig at <a href=http:\/\/www.collectingcandy.com>Collecting Candy<\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Waysnack Machine is a series that looks back at discontinued products.
