This is one that slipped past my 80′s radar. Nerd’s had a breakfast cereal. Like Nerds candy, it came in a divided box with orange cereal on one side and cherry cereal on the other. Both Nerds cereal, and the Nintendo Cereal System, which also had the divided box, were made by Ralston (Purina?).

Possibly the best part about Nerds cereal, however, is Nerd-gate. You see, with only 2 proofs of purchase and $.50, you could order a cool nerds separated bowl, with a gate in the middle!!! How could I have missed this fad?
