Breakfast cereals these days just aren’t quite like the ones of yesteryear, are they? Back in the days before health regulations and nutrition facts, cereals manufactured by companies like Quaker and General Mills were delicious and full of sugar and unhealthy ingredients.

Take a look at these four breakfast cereals from the 1960s that will take you on a delicious trip back in time.

Quisp

If you were a child in the 1960s, there’s no doubt that you would have tried this sickeningly sweet treat. Made with cornmeal and sugary syrup, this gave kids all kinds of energy back in the day. It’s still available in specialty shops and online to this day!

They do still make this, just online. #quisp #cereal

Buttercups

Have you ever seen a breakfast cereal with intricate shapes made to look like flowers? Buttercups were attention-grabbing for this reason, and the lightly sweet flavor that was like a better version of corn flakes was nothing to sneeze at either.

Kream Krunch

With the space race craze hitting the world in the 1960s, it’s no surprise that this Frankenstein-esque creation hit the market for two years in the middle of the decade. This cereal contained o-shaped oats as well as bits of freeze-dried ice cream, which was all the rage due to its use in the space shuttle.

You Won’t Believe How Air Travelers in the 60s Ate https://falafelandcaviar.com/you-wont-believe-how-air-travelers-in-the-60s-ate/ Sat, 07 Dec 2019 10:43:22 +0000 https://falafelandcaviar.com/?p=12791 Ah, vintage air travel. This bygone era of luxurious plane rides that featured spacious seats, friendly flight attendants, and well-dressed passengers are long gone, unfortunately. Now, people are generally packed like sardines into uncomfortable planes and offered minimal services unless they’ve paid an arm and a leg for the first-class service.  However, air travel wasn’t […]

Ah, vintage air travel. This bygone era of luxurious plane rides that featured spacious seats, friendly flight attendants, and well-dressed passengers are long gone, unfortunately. Now, people are generally packed like sardines into uncomfortable planes and offered minimal services unless they’ve paid an arm and a leg for the first-class service. 

However, air travel wasn’t always like this. While we might be served a meal that looks like a microwave TV dinner on long-haul flights these days, in the 1960s, the reality was much different.

Back in these days, all passengers traveled in the same class and were essentially treated like kings. Free alcoholic drinks without a limit flowed like water from a fountain, and the food that was served doesn’t resemble today’s airplane eats in any way.

Passengers on airlines such as Sweden’s SAS were treated to gourmet seafood such as lobsters and prawns. On all airlines, hors d’oeuvres like chicken legs and delicious bruschetta were handed out like candy on Halloween night.

Looking at how people used to eat on airplanes, I think I would have booked a plane ticket only for the eating experience! What do you think?
