Freakies Cereal

"For instance, Hamhose liked ham sandwiches and lived in a garden hose so he could take long walks all by himself. Grumble had bad feet and so he is always complaining. Snorkeldorf had a long nose, so snorkel is part of his name. Goody-Goody well, we all know about Goody-Goody. The Freakies went in search of the legendary Freakies Tree which grew delicious Freakies cereal. They found the Tree, realize the legend was true, and promptly took up residence in the Tree which then became the backdrop for all the TV spots and package back stories."

I have the Hamhose magnet and the Cowmumble magnet may still be somewhere at my parent's house. I still remember how the magnet smelled when it came out of the box. Trying to find a commercial online - no luck so far. (Click on the image if you want to read the back of the cereal box.)
