So my question is where can I buy the crazy super saturated cereals of my childhood? Anyone know?

I'm thinking Boo Berry, Yummy Mummy, Fruit Brute, Cookie Crisp, Franken Berry, Rocky Road, etc.
Are you sure these are products that are even sold in Canada? Is this puzzle from the US?

I have never heard of these despite growing up in the 80s and in Western Canada and was a cereal fiend leading to junior high obesity.

I watched a lot of TV as a kid and I know I've never seen these in a commercial in Canada.

Is this a Eastern/American thing? Canada has always had very different cereals. Compare our Corn Pops (dry round balls) to American Corn Pops (glazed footballs) I remember wanting Cookie Crisp (only one I recognize) from ABC Saturday Morning cartoon commercials and noticed they finally started selling it up here in Canada 30 years later. When I finally got to try it on a Spokane trip in the 90s, I found it was gross.
