Golden Girls Cereal?

I thought this was more appropriate here than in the Kitchen Forum!

So would you get it? I guess there is the figurine. You could either eat the cereal now or dump it out and keep the box.

I wouldn't - I'm still looking at a FULL limited edition university Coke bottle that DH had to have sitting in my living room cabinet alongside some beautiful Japanese items! I wouldn't drink the Coke now - I don't drink Coke any longer, and if I did I wouldn't go near the contents of that bottle, but one of these days I might just dump it out and wash the bottle. OF COURSE this is something my children will fight over - S-U-R-E!

"Golden Girls has been off the air for 26 years, but ****** if Dorothy, Blanche, Sophia, and Rose don’t still have some pull.

Pop-culture company Funko, best known for its cutesy figurines of geek-culture icons like Darth Vader, Stranger Things’Demogorgon, and Wonder Woman, recently released a FunkO’s Golden Girls cereal at select Targets — and people can’t get enough of it.

According to USA Today, the cereal itself is a multigrain blue loop, but the real attraction is that every $8 box comes with a different Golden Girls Funko figurine. People have taken to tweeting at Target to track down boxes of the cereal while on eBay boxes of the breakfast food are being auctioned for as much as $24, a triple markup. But also, a small price to pay for being a pal and a confidante."

I think I'd need to check out the cereal ingredients first, to see if it works with my diet.

I was never a fan of the show so don't care about that part. My daughter came across it when she was in high school, and thought those ladies were hilarious!

Cute on the outside...junk on the inside. If you just want the box for old times remembrance and into collecting.....go for it. I'd prefer to enjoy from afar.

Tastes like Cream of Wheat and boiled prunes.

I'll try it if Betty White endorses it and says that she eats it @beach-mom

I can eat it when I watch reruns of the Golden Girls.

I am not getting it at all....not funny, not cute, not relevant. Since everyone who was in the sitcom is dead (RIP)except for a Betty White... why make a cereal about dead people? For Halloween maybe? Ok...maybe that is the reason.....

I wouldn't buy blue cereal. Doesn't matter who's name is on it.

I might go for a Golden Girls cheesecake...but never cereal!

A few minutes on eBay and looking at the number of bids might change some minds about an $8 investment. Of course there are the usual ridiculous offerings but the active ones are in the $20-$30+ range. Just don't open the box.

I still enjoy watching the show, but I wouldn’t buy the cereal even if their actual pictures were on the box, and their figurine was a mirror image. I am not into cutesy.

@beach-mom, I also had one of those limited edition Coke bottles in my curio until my recent purge of that area. Popped the top and poured the very flat contents down the drain, tossed the bottle in the trash and it’s history now. I’ve let things like this clutter my life and my house, way too long.

Well, some men have a different taste when it comes to decorating! It doesn't matter whether you like the cereal or the Coke, or not - it's another strange thing that some hubbies like to collect and display, and mine does the same thing sometimes. I'd find a different place to move the Coke bottles (don't empty them) and he might not even notice - I moved those things to the extra bedroom. When he does notice, just tell tell him you're moving things around and those bottles have been there long enough! Tell him gently - they don't like to think they don't have good taste. He has a right to collect things, but some things just don't belong in our living rooms! I deal with it too!

Weird. Golden Girls Cereal.

Don't know of the Coke bottles people were collecting, but DH inherited *ahem* two cans of unopened beer from the 70's. One is of the Bengals and one is of the Steelers. Not sure why they would be on beer cans. Don't care.

I managed to talk him into putting them in the garage, told him I was afraid they would explode. They have the old flip top that you actually pull off completely.
