I’m sure I asked for this

That box design is pretty great

Batman Returns is pure nostalgia for me in every way.

discontinuedfoods.bsky.social•11 days ago

Peak, full saturation of the "Tim Burton aesthetic" ...I don't think we'll ever get another superhero/comic book movie that looks and feels like that ever again

discontinuedfoods.bsky.social•11 days ago

Spoiler alert: "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin" did not get their own cereals (the characters were featured on other cereals' boxes, but alas, that was the extent)

this is devastating to me

danmacrae.bsky.social•11 days ago

In retrospect, I was bummed I just got a mini-box of Kellogg's Corn Pops* at my Batman Forever screening instead of a potential Kiss From a Bowl cereal.

*Not sure why mini boxes of cereal were being given out at the movie theatre at Portage Place but it's something that has always stuck with me

That's why they failed!

Harleyquinn was a missed breakfast opportunity tho

Batman & Robin did give us these great Pop-Tarts boxes

discontinuedfoods.bsky.social•11 days ago

the GREATEST Pop-Tart boxes (and Pop Tarts themselves)

korrok.bsky.social•11 days ago

Pop-Tarts possibly the only good thing to come from Batman & Robin. 😬😅

And killed the careers of everyone involved

Batman Forever did get a most excellent set of McDonald's glassware, though.

The embossed nipples would have led to too many questions.

"Lucius, I am not saying we have to cancel the cereal here in Gotham City. I am just saying that these are shapes modeled after an urban vigilante, a notorious thief, and the headwear of a man that tried to conquer us with penguin-based missiles. Calling these 'fun-shaped' seems like a misnomer."

And you could play monopoly with the pieces

jmgoodridge.bsky.social•11 days ago

'Funtastic' means we don't have to give you all of them...

There always had to be a glass of milk and a glass of orange juice in the background as though anyone wanted to chug a glass of milk and a glass of oj after eating a bowl of cereal.

eliot390.bsky.social•9 days ago

Yes Yes! This was absolutely my favorite cereal growing up. Maybe it's nostalgia talking but I can't remember a better tasting chocolate cereal ever 💯

Catwoman erasure

This needs to make a comeback

screenwhisperer.bsky.social•11 days ago

I had this and it was the bomb!

quagthias.bsky.social•11 days ago

I second that this is a core memory. I swear I can still taste it 33 years later. Thank you so much, I feel like I dreamt this.

discontinuedfoods.bsky.social•11 days ago

You're welcome!

In 1992 I got a pink cat woman backpack for school. Wanted to be cat woman - tried making her suit by cutting up black garbage bags but alas it didn’t work.

driving-miss-crazy.bsky.social•11 days ago

I misread the title and thought Batman had returned a box of cereal.

hookersandwhiskey.bsky.social•11 days ago

holy zero nutritional value batman

jeremypeeples.bsky.social•11 days ago

I definitely chowed down on this

jrsanders99.bsky.social•11 days ago

I think his Mom is the one that returned it

marzipanandtreacle.bsky.social•10 days ago

Pretty sure I ate these. Remember the Doritos x Batman and Robin? They came with little plastic pics of the cast.

tofutupacki.bsky.social•10 days ago

My favorite was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, frosted rice chex and marshmallows.

brandon-rey.bsky.social•11 days ago

Did he have a receipt?

The Batman (1989) cereal is the one I remember best. Cap'n Crunch-like taste/texture, but in the shape of a batarang/batman logo without the oval.

sarcasmoultrablam.bsky.social•10 days ago

Remember "Astronaut Sticks"?
From the sixties?
Right around the advent of Tang.
"Eat what the astronauts eat!"

As a kid, I felt sorry they had to eat that stuff.

darkfalz.bsky.social•11 days ago

I remember actually really liking this and the original Batman cereals as a kid

brendandeneen.bsky.social•11 days ago

Just watched the Icons Unearthed -- Batman episodes, and the backstory/behind the scenes on Batman Returns (a movie I have seen MANY times) is pretty fascinating. Didn't know a ton of that stuff.

roflyssmtt.bsky.social•11 days ago

No wonder he returned it - it'll be stale by now surely?
