this does not show up on any other retro food site......Halfsies were sweetened with Equal, when equal first came out. Anyone who's mom would not let them have sweetened cereal., had Halfsies!!!.....wait...other cereals are starting to come back...Crispix came out at that time....and does any1 remember Body Buddies cereal?????

I remember Body Buddies, but never ate it. I did have a box of Halfsies once. Weird chemical flavor. Unsettling.

Came out in the early 80's and had half the sugar (plus Nutrasweet) of regular cereals, and was half corn and half rice. One of the commercials from 1983 offered a contest to win a full-sized video game machine and had Dudley from Different Strokes in it.

I win the halfsies video game sweepstakes when I was a kid full sized Super Zaxxon it was a stellar moment the ultimate prize in the box

Yup I remember this, first cereal on the market with the new Nutrasweet. Remember enjoying the cereal.. They also put it in some soda/pop.. Remember getting a stern discussion from my father about drinking pop with the stuff in it.. Somehow they squeaked by the FDA and it was an untested sweetener. Later found to be harmful to small children still developing.. Something about memory , or causing issues with some children. Hafsies was not bad.. I liked it.
