Cereal Flashback - 1973 Freakies!(I had a hamhose fridge-magnet)

[scottobear]

Oh we are the Freakies
We are the Freakies
And this is our Freakies Tree

And we never miss a meal
Cause we love our cereal

This is the Big Boss
We call him BossMoss
Make sure you spell it right

Snorkeldorf they call me
So handsome and pretty

Here’s little Hamhose
He’s got a weird nose
Do I really have to sing?

My name is Grumble
I am Cowmumble
You’re standing on my foot

Gargle is his name
Smartness is my game
I know more than you do

And don’t forget me
I’m Goody-Goody
I always do what’s right
For instance, I eat Freakies
cause it’s got a lot of vitamins
and it’s good for me

Oh we are the Freakies
We are the Freakies
And this is our Freakies Tree
Yessir...

I loved that cereal...If I can remember correctly, it tasted a bit like capt'n crunch...
I used to get little plastic figurines in "Freakies"...Ü

Yeah! they hard little 'freakie' army men quality toys in there for a while. :)

There was cocoa freakies and fruity freakies, too!

They were sort of like corn loops... very yummy, and quite a bit like cap'n crunch in flavor, if not the mouth shredding texture. :)

here's the freakie figurines!!

I loved Freakies! I collected the freakie magnets when I was a kid. I've thought about finding some to buy and put on my fridge. :0)

They were yummy! I wasn't sure if you were old enough to remember them. :)

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Yup, I'm old enough..I even older than you are. ;)

Really? Wow, you look so young in your piccies! :)

I'd have put you at 20ish

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

Yup, really. I was born June 19, 1968!

Went to 7-11 to buy cigarettes this morning and almost didn't get any because I didn't have my I.D. on me. Had to get a little snarly with the cashier & he finally let me have the cigarettes. heh :0)
