Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cereal

Ralston released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cereal in 1990 right as the franchise was reaching peak popularity, shaping the fruit flavored pieces like little pizza slices in a nod to the Turtles' favorite food. It rode the wave of TMNT merchandise that dominated toy aisles and Saturday morning television in the early nineties. Ralston discontinued it by 1995 as the franchise's initial cultural moment cooled, following the same pattern as most cartoon tie in cereals of that era.
