Alpha-Bits cereal, a brand of sweetened cereal that was first introduced in the 1960s, has been enjoyed by many as a breakfast option over the years. It was known for its unique alphabet-shaped pieces, sweet taste and its fun advertising campaigns. However, as the market for cereal is constantly changing, you might wonder if Alpha-Bits cereal is still being produced and sold. Has it been phased out, replaced by newer options, or is it still available for purchase? Keep reading to discover the current status of Alpha-Bits cereal.

That one must have only had regional distribution...
I had the Michael Jackson record I got off the back of the box of alpha bits at one time…

I’m pretty sure it’s considered white supremacist in blue states.
Young whippersnapper...thats golden age stuff...
We had corn flakes, grapenuts, shredded wheat...[the hay bales, not the minis and certainly not the sugary poo-poo pilloes], rice krispies, sugar smacks and corn pops, cheerios, trix, frosted flakes and some minor other grown up ones like Pep.
Then there was oatmeal, cream of wheat and cream of rice and Maypo.
Eat it, like it and shut up.
We roughed it, back in those days and came out stronger for it...
:]
And I missed a couple like chex, puffed wheat and rice...etc.
I had a box a few years ago. They changed the recipie, and not in a good way. The letters were more puffed up and didn’t have the definition that the old ones did.
I remember originally the letters were more distinct and softened similarly to Post’s other cereal Honeycomb but the new version was way too puffy, had no clear way to discern letters and became more mealy and tasteless when softened.
A similar thing I think happened to Honeycomb which you can still get. Not quite the same as I remember it.
Anyone still miss the metal license plate you used to get in Honeycomb cereal?
What no quarry, lol
My earlier post was a joke.
New topic...
We should defund PBS
And shift some of the federal money we take away from PBS to subsidize Alpha-Bits.
