Ten Brands That Will Disappear in 2012 [No more Kellogg's Corn Pops? NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!]

Kellogg's Corn Pops

The cereal business is not what is used to be, at least for products that are not considered "healthy." Among those is Kellogg's Corn Pops ready-to-eat cereal. Sales of the brand dropped 18% over the year that ended in April, down to $74 million. That puts it well behind brands like Cheerios and Frosted Flakes, each which have sales of over $200 million a year. Private label sales have also hurt sales of branded cereals. Revenues in this category were $637 million over the same April-end period. There is also profit margin pressure on Corn Pops because of the sharp increase in corn prices. Kellogg's describes the product as being "crispy, glazed, crunchy, sweet." Corn Pops also contain mono- and diglycerides, used to bind saturated fat, and BHT for freshness, which is also used in embalming fluid. None of these are likely to be what mothers want to serve their children in an age in which a healthy breakfast is more likely to be egg whites and a bowl of fresh fruit.

The Kashi is my husband’s favorite. We also buy the unadulterated Shredded Wheat and Cheerios. In the winter, it’s old fashioned oat meal and cracked wheat cereal.

We tend to be cereal “purists”. We don’t like the sugarfied stuff. Looking through the cereal aisle at the store is quite a challenge......way too many choices. The bread aisle is the same way. How many types of bread can one choose from? White, wheat, whole grain, multi-grain, twelve grain, cracked wheat, oatmeal, and on and on. It’s a bit mind-boggling.

How about the mouth lacerating ‘Captain Crunch’? Have you got the scars to prove your devotion to Captain Crunch?

Harpies!

Deep fried harp seal crackers!
(All we use are the ears, though. We throw the rest away.)

All the sugar and twice the caffeine!

With GHB, MSG, and BHT IN DA HOUSE!

Seals beaten fresh daily by the spawn of ex-Nazi prison guards and packaged by dancing boys in Afghanistan.

Free LeGBoT doll with each package. It’s a robot doll with a penis that you can shove back up into the body to make a vagina. Comes with a Prius accessory and AIDS test kit.

Squeeze its body and it says “It gets better with Harpies!”

Every nickel of profit goes to white men living in Purchase, NY.

I think this could work. Hits nearly every demographic.

And don’t forget Quarry —it’s not grown, it’s mined!

2. A&W A large part of my teen years was “cruzin the loop” and hanging out at the A&W. Practically every Saturday there was an impromptu car show featuring the nicest rides in the valley.

I grew up in Glendale, California - home of the original Bob's Big Boy...........ditto on the cruising. RIP Bob's (other than the few faux franchises around the southwest).

A&W may or may not disappear stateside but here in Canada they’ve been steadily expanding for the last five years.

The primo cruising drive-ins in Central FL in the 60s were Frish’s Big Boy and Steak n Shake.

I really, really miss Apple Jacks. Every couple of years Kellogg’s brings them back here in Canada as a “limited edition” thing.

Just as long as they don't mess with Cap'n Crunch.
