"One particular cereal embraced traditional breakfast spreads by incorporating the flavors of freshly squeezed orange juice directly into a cereal bowl. Kellogg's made a cereal that delivered citrus flavor in orange-hued, ring-shaped, and round spheres. While the combination of orange-flavored cereal pieces thrilled some breakfast lovers, others were less than enthusiastic about the combination of chowing down on citrusy pieces soaked with milk."
"Kellogg's claimed that bowls of the stuff contained the same amount of vitamin C as a 4-ounce glass of orange juice. The cereal had a short lifespan, however. OJ's cereal hit market shelves in 1985, and a year later, the cereal was discontinued and could no longer be found in markets. Some netizens have voiced nostalgic longings for the product, penning, "I loved it. For years I've been trying to convince people this cereal was real.""
Kellogg's OJ's delivered citrus flavor in orange-hued ring-shaped and round spherical pieces designed to mimic freshly squeezed orange juice in a cereal bowl. The cereal claimed each bowl contained the vitamin C equivalent of a 4-ounce glass of orange juice. OJ's launched in 1985 and was discontinued in 1986, giving it a very short market lifespan. Advertising featured a cowboy mascot named OJ Joe and promotions like a free Wendy's Frosty with purchase. Consumer reactions were mixed, with some nostalgic fans and others put off by orange-flavored cereal soaked in milk.
