Unboxing Rocky Road Cereal, from 1986.
I hadn’t intended for this to become an ’80s week on Dino Drac. It just worked out that way. And now I shall make it official by opening a box of cereal from 1986.
I don’t know exactly when Rocky Road Cereal went out of production, but it did, and people miss it. Not all people, but some people. I can’t honestly count myself among them, but that’s only because I grew up with too many other favorites to make room for this. From all accounts, it was a good little cereal. It deserves one more day in the sun.
So, here’s a video of me opening a vintage box, and trying to figure out how to make that interesting without actually eating it:
I don’t know if I succeeded, and I misspoke more than once, but I can guarantee that this will be your only shot at seeing a 1986 Rocky Road Cereal unboxing video. So there’s that.
Amazingly enough, I think I do vaguely remember that commercial, too. I don’t remember the cereal itself, though.
Oh, Matthew. Great video as always, and enjoy the large doe-eyed deer in the head lights look. Thanks for not trying the cereal!
You are too hard on yourself, as I don’t see “. . . fuckin’ asshole”, but rather a nostalgic, adorkable guy who is an excellent entertainer. (The red cap contrasts with your dark fashion) Keep up the good work. Long-time fan.
How ya’ll doing tonight? I’ve been having a great night! Been gettin down and having myself a party. I just got back from picking my brother up, because he got a DUI. lol That was an adventure. P.S I wish I had a radio hat.
The ad for Rocky Road is one of my earliest memories….and I know I hadn’t imagined it because I name-dropped it in a home movie that Christmas.
Thanks for smelling 30 year old cereal for our amusement, great video! I have the same cereal bowl as you btw. I feel famous.
I feel kind of like everyone has a few of those cereal bowls sitting around their house. They seem to be timeless.
ahahahaha, my sides.
I would wear that hat everywhere.
I use to eat this by the truckload, thanks for the reminder of a great cereal Matt! You’re vlog cracked me up, Fucking Asshole…LOL!
That commercial’s jingle is catchy as hell! I don’t recall this cereal either. But like you said, there were too many other favorites.
I can’t believe that you actually have the hat! I would definitely wear it in public, at least once. I would wear it more if the radio actually worked.
The company that made this cereal should have license Weird Al’s parody “I Love Rocky Road”. Just makes so much sense!
I ate so much of this growing up. I can still remember the taste/texture. Don’t know if anything ever came close (maybe Count Chocula… and now I’m going to go eat some of that). Thanks for the awesome video.
