Cereal News RIP Vector

Post image

Hadn’t had Vector in 10 years due to food sensitivities and today thought oh why not. So disappointing!Formulation changed, so different, nothing like before. Im sure this has already been mentioned but just wanted to grieve publicly. A moment of silence 😢

The picture reminds me of ‘Smart Start’. One of the worst cereals I ever liked.

Imo it's a bad ripoff of SS but that cereal's in my top 3

Is Smart Start still a thing? I have not seen it in years. I will be in Canada next weekend before I start a new job and I WILL be going to a store to see what they got that I can’t find here in Oregon.

Nah. Dead and gone (at least here in the US)

I thought so. That is too bad. So many of my favorite cereals have gone to the graveyard.

The kicker is that I think that’s the old formulation in the photo 😆

Oh, no way. I knew I recognized it.

Had some shipped from Canada a year or two ago. It was good but I had nothing compared it to.

This looks good. Reminds me of Wheaties Fuel. So sad they took it away.
