Dinos (early 1990s): After the success of Cocoa Pebbles and Fruity Pebbles, Post tried naming a cereal after the Flintstones’ pet dinosaur. “The question that came up constantly,” recalls a Post art director, “was ‘What flavor is Dino?’ . . .

Punch Crunch (1975): A spinoff of Cap’n Crunch. The screaming-pink box featured Harry S., an exuberant hippo in a sailor suit, making goo-goo eyes at Cap’n Crunch. Many chain stores perceived the hippo as gay and refused to carry the cereal.
