From: Independent / Undefined



Ruskets Toasted Whole Wheat Flakes were a product of Loma Linda Foods of Arlington, California and Mt. Vernon, Ohio.

According to the back of the box:

The Secret of Ruskets Flakes - Ovensweet Flavor

First of all - Ruskets Flakes are made from wheat harvested at the peak of it's sun-ripened goodness. Malt, sugar and salt are simmered in during the steam cooking and the slow toasting process protects the natural goodness... ensures the delicious and distinctive ovensweet flavor of Rusket Flakes.

Unlike most cereal that offered a single premium or send-away offer, Ruskets Flakes gave kids the chance to "take your pick of these super prizes". Depending on the number of Ruskets coupons you sent in, you could get anything from a beach ball to a jump rope to a 3-color signal flashlight.

I read some where that Kellogg's bought them out but I could not find anything much except Ruskets were made by Loma Linda Foods. My 9 kids all loved Ruskets and so did my husband. Me Too! So why did they quit making them when everyone loved them and has such fond memories of them. My 59 year old son started this conversation with me this afternoon so I started searching on the internet for an answer. I really did not find one. Lets petition Kellogg's to make them with the exact recipe as original. No MSG & no high fructose corn syrup!

Sharon - Yes, I do remember the commercial! It seems like you and I are the only ones that do! None of my friends recall the commercial.

Ruskets was one of my favorite cereals growing up in the 60s. I vaguely remember a TV commercial for Ruskets, with a cartoon circus parade. Looked for it online but couldn't find any reference to it. It was a lot of fun to watch. Does anyone else remember it?

I grew up near Sacramento in the 50s and 60s and had Ruskets biscuits almost every morning. Too bad it's off the shelves now, probably all the shelf space in markets was bought by ADM or some other agribusiness conglomerate.

I grew up the seventies. I loved the texture of Ruskets cereal. The prizes were nice too.

I too have very fond memories of this cereal, & can recall no other dry cereals from my childhood. Vaguely recall that there was a prize in the box. Would love to taste it again!

My father was the face on the box of Ruskets. He was born in 1938, and I think he was about 3 years old when they used him. I can't find a picture of that box on the internet.
