Ice Cream Cones - Vanilla
 Ice Cream Cones - Vanilla 
From: General Mills
Introduced in 1987 Ice Cream Cones cereal was available in two flavors: vanilla and chocolate chip. The cereals consisted of ice cream cone-shaped conical pieces and round Kix-esque pieces intended to resemble scoops of ice cream. If a cereal eater was so inclined, the scoop pieces actually fit comfortably on the cone pieces to create a tiny ice cream cone replica. Both varieties of the cereal were said to taste similar to Cookie Crisp cereal. If the pieces were eaten separately, the scoop pieces were known to be intensely sweet and less flavorful than the cone pieces which actually tasted similar to to real ice cream cones. Commercials for the cereal featured an animated soda jerk called Ice Cream Jones. Jones was customarily shown riding a bicycle with an ice cream freezer attached to the front. In the commercials, he would deliver Ice Cream Cones cereal to kids who were anxiously awaiting his arrival.

This really was the best cereal ever made. This cereal was so good that I've thought about it from time to time as I've gotten older (I'm 34 now). Those waffle cones and balls of ice cream... believe the hype. Comment submitted: 8/24/2012 (#8886) By TamberG
