Talk:Post Cereals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two old favorite post cereals that I hear the most about is Crispy Critters featuring Linus The Lionhearted and Rice Krinkles. Both cereals are not made anymore by Post. Both were loved by many kids in the 1960's.

[edit] Toasties ARE discontinued.

Please do not remove the edits dealing with Post Toasties being discontinued in 2006. This information has been verified by Post via email and also by a personal phone call to the Post consumer help line (1-800-323-0768 Consumer Relations Center is open weekdays from 9am to 9pm, Eastern Standard Time).

The production of Toasties ceased in April of 2006 but it took until January of 2007 in most states before the last boxes finally left store shelves. This is what causes some confusion since the time from the of end of production to actual unavailability at the local supermarket was quite large and unfortunatley too late for people to realize that the cereal was no longer being produced. They are no longer being marketed in any real way - other than a slot on the Post/Kraft website.

As a follow-up I have sent a second email to Post/Kraft asking when Toasties will be removed from their website or at least acknowledged that they are no longer in production, no response as been given - I will post their repsonse here when I receive one. --Dleigh32 01:03, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

That is not an acceptable standard for verifiable source, IMO. Until such time as there is some public announcement, it should remain in the current column. older ≠ wiser 01:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Response from Kraft - sort of

Just got this response from Kraft and thought I would post it. I had asked when Post would put something on their site stating publically that Toasties had been discontinued.
