Hungry for some sugary sweet, slightly creepy fun? Check out The Imaginary World's incredible archive of cereal boxes from the '50s, '60s and '70s.

Cheerios, Corn Flakes, Grape Nuts and all the other classics are there, but we're more interested in their lesser-known, long-extinct brethren -- Sir Grapefellow, Orange Kombos, Moon Stones and the like.

King Vitaman: We'll ignore the whole "vitaman/vitaWOman" issue, and just focus on The King. Call us crazy, but this is not the guy we want feeding us breakfast.
