Rice Cream Flakes
 Rice Cream Flakes 
From: Nabisco
Introduced in 1968 Rice Cream Flakes were rice flakes coated in freeze-dried ice cream. The cereal was test marketed in New York where it was well received. Unfortunately, Nabisco wasn't able to secure enough freeze-dried ice cream to bring this product to the national market. There were very few producers of freeze-dried ice cream at the time, and Nabisco's primary supplier, Oregon Freeze-Dried Foods, was going out of business. The test-market box for Rice Cream Flakes described the product as "a new cereal crunchy as a cone!". There was a vanilla variety and a chocolate variety. We suspect that cereal also came in either a strawberry or orange variety, but we've been unable to uncover visual proof. If you have any additional information, please post it below.

I had this as a kid. Best cereal I ever had! Comment submitted: 10/21/2009 (#786) By CerealInsider I was chatting with one of the fathers of Rice Cream flakes awhile back. It was apparently one of the most successful cereals ever test marketed by Nabisco, but the freeze-dried ice cream was simply too expensive for a cereal type product.
