Man I remember this. To this day no other cereal has come close to being this good & I've had plenty. Reese's puffs are good but not like this. Man it was great being a kid in the 80s...
HELP! somebody tell Me where can I find some ET cereal still availible some where.I know it was a special/limeted edition for the promotion of The Film.But it wud feel nice to know if it cud still be produced.Because that was some great tasting cereal.1 of my personal favorites.
Well...I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who has obsessed about this cereal. It was indeed the best of all time. Reese's Puffs have a similar flavor but not quite the same. They are however as close as you're going to get now. There was an unopened box on eBay once, which i seriously considering buying to eat. Probably would still taste good after 28 years. :)
One of my childhood fave cereals, back in 1984 i ate this cereal and did saw the movie when my mom bought it for me on video when it was finally released.
@ozzeozborn Thank you so much for posting this! E.T. cereal was one of my absolute favorites! As soon as they invent time travel, I'm going back to the 80's and buying some. Along with a bunch of other 80's cereals that didn't survive to today.
@tawny123g I'm not getting on your case here, but...stupid why? It's just a marketing gimmick. Sure, maybe they could have come up with better shapes for the cereal pieces, like the actual E.T. character or perhaps bicycle tires in reference to the flying-past-the-moon chase scene, but branded cereals like this were never about what shapes the pieces were. They were about how popular the brand was and how delicious the cereal was. And this cereal was popular as hell and equally delicious.
It was so damn delicious. I only had it a few times and I was a tiny child, but I'll never forget the taste. It wasn't like Reece's Cereal-- it tasted more like Reece's Pieces or something. Miss it forever :(....
This was it - my most favoritest cereal of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My sister ate Vanilla Cookie Crisp all the time, and this 1 was ALL MIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went through 3 boxes a week - for real. And (to me) Reeses' Puffs do NOT taste the same to me. ET cereal OWNS all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a "holy shit" moment when I took my first bite of Reese's peanut butter cereal. All my memories of ET cereal came flooding back! Seriously, it tastes exactly like ET cereal. I fucking love that stuff! Anyone who says the two taste different is full of shit.
Yep, you are absolutely correct! That's what I thought the first time I had it as well. It even has the exact same slight powder residue on each ball, just like ET had with the letters. Since they are both General Mills cereals, they are probably the same recipe, just made with balls instead of letters.
OH MAN i ate this cereal once when i was a kid at a friends house and i begged my mother to get me some and when we went to buy it it was gone. i still remember the taste. Fuck id give 100$ for a box to relive that taste.
Oh geez, this was my crack epidemic for sure. And to those who are hoodwinked into thinking Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cereal is a good alternative, think again. Everyone who's wondering what made ET cereal so good and Reese's cereal fall short is this: ET cereal was a oat-based cereal (think Cheerios if they ever made a chocolate-peanut butter flavor. Reese's cereal is chocolate-peanut butter CORN PUFFS -- think Cocoa Puffs if it added peanut butter to their recipe.
@vfreytas EXACTLY!! And you are correct!!!...Everyone must be on crack if they seriously think the Reeses cereal compares to the E.T. cereal...I used to eat ET cereal religiously!! That taste...that peanut butter and chocolate taste was ridiculously delicious and addicting!! I have had the captain crunch peanut butter and reeses and some others, but they taste nothing like the original E.T. cereal!! I wish general mills would make this again or at least make it as a new cereal.
Oh the memories of the peanut buttery goodness!!! This, C-3PO's, O.J's, Fruit Islands, Smufberry Crunch, so many short lived cereals I must have consumed through out the 80's. Any one 25-35 can relate I am sure.
Best Video on youtube!! Best cereal ever made and Reese's is only comparison but not even close. Thanks for posting, I forgot what the box and cereal actually looked like. Where did you find this?
omg your so right. I had this cereal as a kid. My mom would almost never let us eat sweets so getting my own box of cereal was a big thing. And this box of cereal was sooooo damn good. Choclate and peanut butter, how can you go wrong! It ruled!
My brother and i ate enough of that crap to get the stupid Michael Jackson record. Also it was made by the same company that made our dogs food. That creeped me out.
Wow talk about a blast from the past. To this day this is by faaaar the best cereal I ever had. I wish they could make it again for some 20th anniversary thing.
@ozzeozborn yeah i agree with timothybandi.i saw half of the gremlins thing but then the vcr went phsyco and changed the channel to a game show with the creepiest host ever!
Wow. Whoever posted this commercial thank you and wow i am scared. when this cereal came out i was like 5 and i was scared of him and i wouldnt eat the e's and t's together i was freaking scared. its what reese's cereal is today. whoever did this it brought back good memories and bad memories wow.....oh yeah and i had the e.t. and michael jackson poster on my wall....talk about creeped out. i couldnt watch the movie until i was like 20.
no,no,no...reese's is nothing like it...there was something about et cereal...it was,without a doubt,the best cereal in history...it was such a great flavored cereal...honestly,the closest comparitive in taste is frosted cheerios...i know that sounds dumb,but it is the only modern cereal with a similar flavor...
there is not that distinct peanut butter chocolatey taste. and BTW, i DID hear that the reason how reese's cereal came about was that people wanted them to bring BACK ET Cereal and that cereal was the closest thing to it.
Mmm, this stuff was soooo good! :)
