Damn, does anyone remember those? So good. I only had them one or two times in my childhood, but something about that product was simply magical. What child would not want to put some red syrupy stuff into his oatmeal and make designs with it, or basically do whatever he wants inside of the bowl? If you were one of these kids who was not impressed by this, we cannot be friends. Ever. If you did not know about this delightful breakfast cereal until now, that is okay with me. I just wish I had more to tell or show you about it. Google only turns up a few pages of results, and no images. I know that if I were to eat this food today I would probably be disappointed, but I still want to try it. Maybe the magic will carry over, and it will make me a better person.
Here is a petition to General Mills to get this food produced again: http://www.petitiononline.com/Oatmeal/petition.html

Oh god yes I remember oatmeal swirlers. I was big into the oatmeal thing when I was younger. My favorite memories were of an oatmeal product called "Undercover Bears." This oatmeal, when poured into a bowl, would appear entirely normal, but when hot water was added, HOLY SHIT THERE'S GUMMY BEARS IN MY FUCKING BREAKFAST!!!1! Upon closer inspection and ingestion of said gummy bears, they were pretty much like... wax. but it was cool.
