Cocoa Frosted Flakes
From: Kellogg's
Introduced in 1997


A Kellogg's press release from March 11, 1997 described Cocoa Frosted Flakes as "the only fat-free chocolate cereal available in the U.S." As with Kellogg's non-cocoa Frosted Flakes, the cereal's spokesman was the ever-popular Tony The Tiger.

The front of the box announced, "They're Chocolatey Grrreat!"

A 1997 commercial for Cocoa Frosted Flakes included the following lines: "The news spread to every house in America... something big was coming to breakfast. New chocolatey frosted Kellogg's Cocoa Frosted Flakes Cereal... now Frosted Flakes have gone cocoa."

Company Description: Kellogg's was originally founded as the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company in 1906. The company's founder Will Keith Kellogg is credited with inventing corn flakes along with his brother John Harvey Kellogg. The company was renamed the Kellogg Company in 1922...

    I saw the Choco Zucaritas at WalMart this morning. Did not realize they were starting to carry this.

    So much sugar, but a guilty treat for sure! I can't stand Wal-Mart, but I will go there for these... thankfully a Dollar General in my area has 'em, too!

    You all gotta come to Mexico to get your Choco Zucaritas. They're easy to find at any supermarket.

    This cereal was the best ever! If the chocolaty flavor wasn't enough, they were saturated with sugar. This was like Kellogg's version of Crack Cocaine. You could never get enough and the sugar rush was amazing!

    There's a new Chocolate Frosted Flakes in stores now. I tried it and LOVED it.

    For anyone out there looking, Malt-o-Meal makes a very comparable substitute for this cereal. Can't remember the name but they are easy to find due to the clear bags of cereal!

    My husband had Choco Zucaritas at our all-inclusive resort at Riviera Maya - and even brought some home! This was 5 years ago and he is still begging me to "work my internet magic" and find MORE!

    Me and my husband loved this cereal. Please bring it back. It was the only cereal we bought when it was available. Matter of fact it sold out of stores so fast they couldn't keep it on the shelves. Please, please bring it back soon.
