Cröonchy Stars




There are plenty of reasons why I'd like to revisit my childhood, and Cröonchy Stars are by far one of those reasons.  Jim Henson was a genius for many reasons, this cereal being one of them.  I have a memory of being 8 years old, sitting in front of the television eating a bowl of this cinnamonnamony goodness while watching The Muppets, and I was pretending to be the Swedish Chef!  In between spoonfuls, I would speak fake Swedish while throwing things over my shoulder, just like the Chef himself.  Okay, so I wasn't exactly the coolest kid on the block, but whatever.  I was having fun.  Now here I am, twenty-one years later, wishing I could have just one more bowl full of those cinnamon stars.  Now all I have are my memories and the internet to remind me of this great cereal from the 1980's, the Golden Age of cereal if you ask me.


Here are two Cröonchy Stars commercials I'm sure you'll remember!
