From: Ralston
Introduced in 1985


In the mid 80's, Nerds Cereal asked us, "Which side are you gonna eat first?" The cereal box was divided into two separate compartments - each containing its own flavor of Nerds Cereal. Two dual varieties were offered: orange/cherry and strawberry/grape. It was described by Ralston as being a "tiny tangy crunchy sweetened cereal".

The cereal's premiums included small boxes of Nerds candy in the box and a send-away offer for a "Two-Sided Nerds Bowl" with a "Nerd Gate" - as seen in a commercial the "Nerd Gate" lifted to allow milk on one side of the bowl to flow into cereal on the other side.

There were reports that eating Nerds Cereal would produce a bright red-orange stool - an alarming, if hardly life-threatening, health condition.

There was nothing like this cereal before it came out - the texture, the flavor, the whole thing - and there's been nothing like it since. Like most other awesome cereals, it didn't get the long life it deserved.

I loved Nerds! I would faint with happiness if I saw them in the grocery store again. I even have a plush Nerds Cereal pillow that I found at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Loved this cereal growing up! Every time I went to my grandmas house she would have this cereal waiting for me! I always ate the strawberry side first! Memories I tell you and would love for y'all to bring this back if not permanently but for a limited time it would be great!

The best cereal in the world! I know it will never happen, but I also vote for Nerds to come back.
