(and yes, it was the same exact flavor)

The commenter was wrong. If Quake was meant to be discontinued they wouldn't have retooled him from a husky miner to a milder Australian Cowboy. There also would have been no need for the execrable Quangaroos. Finally, Quisp didn't last that long after Quake's disappearance.

I ate both cereals. Quisp was shaped like little bowls and had a different texture than Quake's cogs. I also remember more vanilla flavor in Quisp and more riciness in Quake, which was actually closer to Quaker's own Cap'n Crunch than Quisp.

The only place where Quisp excelled over Quake was upper-mouth damage. Quake (and Cap'n Crunch) would tear up the top of my mouth. I'd have to take a two-day vacation from those cereals. Quisp simply got soggy real fast and didn't cause as much damage.

Among other places where Quisp failed - and this was a biggie in my childhood - was that saucer design; combined with poured milk, it caused calamitous spraying in random directions.

And there it is...a rigged election elevated an illegal alien-backed milquetoast cereal with massive design flaws and killed off a cereal embodying American exceptionalism.

And here I am on FR vs DU. It explains a lot.
