Hey Paul,
Did you watch last night's 8pm episode of The Simpsons?
During Homer and Marge's first-kiss, as 10-yr-olds,
Homer's kiss-induced hallucination included a hilarious
sequence where he finds himself sitting in a cereal
bowl with Quisp, then he picks up Quisp and eats
him whole! Very hilarious.
This was following closely by Homer riding around in
the huge and "full" Koolaid mascot, then drinking him
empty, thus killing him and making him collapse.
Mike out...

I remember Quisp the cereal, but I don't think I ever actually tried it. *sigh* My favorite novelty cereal of that era is still Fruit Brute. Remember that one? And Fruit Brute has appeared in Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs!
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

I've seen it for sale in stores around here, but not sure if about recently. I actually remember a radio station a few years back doing a big special on Quisp at one of the stores because it was available again. I can honestly say I LOVED this stuff when I was a kid.
Ya gotta love the Quisp! You can also go to www.quisp.com where you can buy the cereal, t-shirts and a Quisp watch.
Since I found it on the web a few years back, I've never been without some on my shelf. Just looking at the box makes me feel like a kid again.

Yes, if you don't live in a region where it's available. Apparently you do. Lucky Lisa.

What is it with Quisp? This stuff is rarer than truffles. And it appeals almost solely to Men.
Let's explore this a second- I remember years ago while my ex and I were setting up a satelite office in the Carolinas and had to live out of a Marriott Residence Inn for a month. Full kitchen, so we went to a grocery store after unpacking. Lo and behold, right there next to the rice krispies and fruit loops, was the holy grail of all cereal finds, QUISP.
He bought the entire shelf.
I'm not kidding. He put four in the cart, then had them box up every single carton of Quisp in the store and ship it home.
AHHA! thought I. Gastronomic Kryptonite! I now know his secret weakness!
But the revelations were not to end. When we arrived back at the home office and he told the tale of the Trophy bag he took on grocery safari, a very strange thing happened- all of the men, every one, began to salivate like a pack of Pavlov's dogs. Their eyes rolled back in their heads like marbles and their faces took on an almost beautific look.
He made several boxes sales quota prizes.

This begs for a short story about how Quisp manages a cult-like following of devoted fans.....is Quisp planning to take over the world?

Here's his stats from the web-site if you haven't seen them:
Height: 3’11’’
Weight: 43 lbs. on Earth, 3 lbs. on Planet Q, 76 tons on Alpha Centauri
Marital Status: Single. "I'm only 578 years old, which is still 422 years underage by Q-tian law, but I do have a girlfriend, Sandy Rosenbaum."
Favorite Food: "You have to ask?"
Favorite Beverage: Triple Espresso with 8 sugars
Transportation: ‘93 Space Lark 3000 Beanie with only 750 billion light years
Hobbies: Hitting baseballs into black holes, tanning in the rays of a supernova, and eating Quisp Cereal "til my propeller practically flies off."
What else?....
Latest Project: Bringing 12 billion boxes of Quisp Cereal to Earth.
When I’m alone, I...: "eat Quisp through an extra mouth located under my beanie."
If I could be anyone else, I’d be...: "Kronos, Slug King of the Ganookian Revelers on planet Schlek. That guy oozes cool!"
Arch Enemy: Quake, the guy who makes that earthquake powered cereal. He drives me nuts.
The most influential person in my life was...: Quake. He always keeps me on my toes, all six of them.
