It was expensive for the time — I seem to remember it selling for the very high price of 1 dollar.  Obviously, at that price this was a beverage only for special occasions.  :)

Although I was not quite an adult, I still bought quite a few over the years and they were worth the extra money.  Yum!

If anyone has any other information or memories please share.

Maybe I’m watching too much Food TV or something?

For the first installation, we honor the late great cereal: Crispy Wheats ‘N Raisins.  For those of you who don’t remember, Crispy Wheats ‘N Raisins launched in the late 70’s and, in 1996, was re-branded Crispy Wheaties ‘N Raisins.  Unfortunately, even that name change couldn’t change the cereal’s fortune and it was eventually discontinued.

Man, that was a good cereal.

I couldn’t track down the classic “Wizard of Oz” commercials so here is another one:

Anyone have any other selections?
