Nintendo Cereal System

Once upon a time, there was a cereal and the cereal's name was The Nintendo Cereal System. This was no ordinary cereal... Quite far from ordinary. In fact, this cereal was really one box with two individual cereals inside, very similar in concept to Nerds (which is also two candies in one box that are both made of the same ingrediants, but flavored differently).

I even looked on ebay to see if any was being auctioned off, but it seems that I shall be forced to live without the Nintendo Cereal System. I wonder, if ingested, 15 year old cereal would kill me?

It turns out that the company that made the Nintendo Cereal System, Ralston Cereals, is also responsible for a number of quality cereals including:
