From: Ralston
Introduced in 1976


"The crunchy cereal that smiles back at you."

According to a description from the March 22, 1976 issue of Time Magazine, "Later this year Ralston will introduce... Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs, which (or so kids will be told) stream from the mouth of a 'computer-type monster' named Cecil when his 'funny bone' is tickled."





1976 Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs Cereal Television Commercial

Cecil, the talking machine who makes Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs cereal, is in a cantankerous mood as usual. Four characters named Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs attempt a balancing act to make the machine laugh.

Cecil:
"If something makes me laugh, I make my cereal, Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs - part of a nutritious breakfast. These bozos are gonna try to get me to laugh up some Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs - the deliciously sweet crunchy corny cereal that smiles back at you."

The balancing act falls down and crashes through the floor. Cecil laughs and laughs and begins to spit boxes of cereal out his mouth.

Cecil:
"Give that disappearing act some Grins & Smiles & Giggles & Laughs - the crunchy cereal that smiles back at you."

Man, this cereal and watching Scooby Doo... what a combo. If it came back, I'd eat it until it came out my ears again.

I can't say that I loved it or even liked it... I can't even remember... I do remember having it... needing it... and loving the boxes and prizes...

I loved this cereal and hope they bring it back out. I think about it and wondered why they got rid of it.

I too loved this cereal, however I would've sworn the actual name was "Laugh Smiles Giggles and Grins"

I thought the cereal and those characters were great, and I'd buy it today if it were still on the shelves!
