California Raisins
From: Post
Introduced in 1988


Contrary to many cereal lists found on the internet, it appears that an actual cereal called "California Raisins Cereal" has never appeared in grocery stores. Confusion stems from the the fact the the claymation raisin characters were used to promote Post Raisin Bran in in the mid-1980's. Small plastic figurines of the characters were offered as premiums in select boxes of the cereal.

In 1988, Post produced a very limited edition package for it's Raisin Bran cereal. Standing over 12 inches tall, the container was a purple plastic replica of a California Raisin character. While these containers were filled with Post Raisin Bran cereal, this particular rendition of the cereal will be known on this website as "California Raisins Cereal".

    I remember watching the California raisin commercials as a kid on TV in the mornings before going to school. I loved Raisin Bran. Can't beat those raisins.
