From: Nabisco
Introduced in 1976



This is how a magazine ad described Shreddies when they were first introduced:

No sugar coating! No artificial flavor! No artificial coloring! Essential vitamins plus iron! The are some of the reasons you'll like new Shreddies Whole Wheat Cereal, Mom. Another: Shreddies cost about one-third less than most of the super-sugary kids' cereals. Most of all, you'll like new Shreddies because your kids will like new Shreddies.

Your kids will like our new Shreddies cereal because the combination of 100% whole wheat with a touch of malt has a natural, sweet taste. It's also bite-size, crisp and crunchy.

The cereal looked exactly like Ralton's (later General Mills') Wheat Chex Cereal.

The slogan for Shreddies was "a breakfast cereal for kids even a mother can love."

Known premiums: a puff-mobile action racer; 3-D Dukes Of Hazzard Comic With 3-D glasses

Company Description: Nabisco's history dates back to 1898 when three bakery conglomerates merged to form The National Biscuit Company - comprised of 114 bakeries.

My husband is an iceroad trucker and has been eating this cereal everyday for the past 50 years. It would would make an awesome commercial showing the cereal in his semi truck in the arctic.
