Description
Boy one guy works his heart out on a new product and 20 years later he gets a "food" note on a food website.... I worked on Circus Fun Cereal and I think there is information you may want to include. The product started as concept idea that was first screened on paper a year before it was brought to market, at the time one of the fastest concept to market cereal products General Mills had ever had. The product was the first individual multicolored cereal piece to reach market. The idea of the product was that the round "beach" Ball shaped multicolored ball and the firery red hoops would be used by the marshmellow animals as props for there center ring adventures. I got the idea for the multicolor balls from the paint used in car trunks. It is known as spatter paint and we used this technique to apply color to the outside of a cereal piece for the first time. Now there are better ways to do this and most folks will forget the product but you at least will know the story. Best Wishes NT

I have a very large Circus Fun Cereal poster that I just found in a closet. I used to work for Big G as a sales rep. I think it was part of some promo kit I got.
Wow! It's so fun to see that at least two other people have heard of this cereal! My brother and I used to LOVE it and were so disappointed when it disappeared from the shelves. We were children of the 80's and have a hippie-ish mother who wouldn't let us eat sugar, but for our birthdays, we could pick out any box of "sugar cereal" that we wanted. For several years, there was no question, I wanted the Circus cereal in the black box! The main challenge was keeping my brother from eating it all in one sitting :-)
"it's Circus Fun, it's in your bowl and you're gonna wanna go flyin'/for horses and hoops, balls and bears, elephants and lions! (AND TIGERS!)"
that jingle's been taking up brain space for years, i loved the cereal!
Ha! Me too! I remember it as "It's Circus Fun right in your bowl and everyone wants to come try 'em, with horses, hoops, balls, bears, elephants and lions. This commercial haunts me.
Well, there you go...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbeWrnDwVuA
As a child of the eighties I am sad that I've never even heard of such a cereal. Sounds like it was a blast! Wish I could be a part of your nostalgia.I miss the eighties ... well, maybe not.
Wow!! I thought I was the only one who use to eat this. I loved it!
