Mr. T
From: Quaker
Introduced in 1984 Mr. T Cereal hit grocery stores in 1984, capitalizing on the success of actor/wrestler Laurence Tureaud's Mr. T Character. Mr. T had become recognizable to most Americans through his roles in Rocky III (1982) and The A-Team (1983-1987). His kid-friendly persona was strengthened though guest appearances on Silver Spoons (1982), Diff'rent Stokes (1983) and Alvin and the Chipmunks (1983). Mr. T Cereal was a "Crispy Sweet Corn And Oats Cereal" that tasted somewhat similar to Cap'N Crunch. The cereal pieces were shaped like the letter "T". Commercials for the cereal used the catch-phrases, "Teaming up with Mr T. (Cereal)... It's cool" and "I pity the fool who don't eat my cereal". The cereal made a a memorable appearance in the 1985 film, Pee Wee's Big Adventure in a scene where the character Pee Wee Herman poured cereal over pancakes and eggs while impersonating Mr. T's signature "pity the fool" line.

This was nothing but a different version of Captain Crunch. But, since it's Mr. T... I loved it! Comment submitted: 4/22/2013 (#11805) By fudgy3
I wish they would bring this cereal back. I would totally eat it. I used to love it as a kid. Comment submitted: 4/14/2013 (#11639) By Kopalman
Put this cereal on the table right now... marvelous and incredible! Comment submitted: 10/28/2012 (#9772) By F.U.N. Memory
Why don't they make these kinds of cereal anymore? I'd get so excited as a kid to see Mr T cereal or Urkle cereal. Kids today are missing out. Comment submitted: 10/8/2012 (#9396) By Thing Vitamin
I agree - it tasted a lot like Quake cereal to me. I was so sad when it was discontinued. Comment submitted: 9/25/2012 (#9227) By Mr. F
Just truly terrible. Anyone who says they tasted similar to the Cap'n is insane. Comment submitted: 9/14/2012 (#9114) By McFlyJr1979 (Team Breakfast Member)
"Eggs? For breakfast? What 'choo talkin' 'bout foo'? You have cereal. You have it NOW!" (I love Mr T!) Comment submitted: 5/2/2012 (#7522) By SuperDavo
Bring back this cereal! I also pity the fool who never got to try it. Check out iTunes for a new rap song about Mr. T. Comment submitted: 4/3/2012 (#7039) By sweetness2
All hail Mr. T! I have to pity myself that I never got to try his cereal. I was only 5 or 6 when it came out. I'm gonna call my mom now and ask her why she never bought me some. Why mom? Why! Comment submitted: 1/11/2012 (#6168) By pepardo
