This Discontinued Cereal Is A Blast From The Past That '80s Kids Still Mourn At The Store - Tasting Table

The bulk of the cereal, which first hit the market in 1983, was made up of orb-shaped sweetened corn puffs that looked a bit like Pac-Man himself, without the missing slice that is his mouth. To sweeten things further, the cereal was studded with colorful mini marshmallows in the shape of Pac-Man and the ghosts from the game - Inky, Blinky, Pinky, and Clyde. Some later iterations of the cereal also featured marshmallows in the shapes of both Ms. Pac-Man and a larger Super Pac-Man.

Braces Are Now 'In': TODAY Anchors Have Memories (and Photos) to Share

Like landlines, Polaroid cameras and Lisa Frank designs, yet another 1980s item seems to be making a comeback: metal braces. TODAY anchors Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Sheinelle Jones and Dylan Dreyer discussed their own history with braces as well as the transformation of braces from geek to chic. "Back in the '80s and the '90s, Anthony Michael Hall had braces, right?" began Sheinelle on the Sep. 17 show. "And it almost signified teen awkwardness, almost like a prop. But now people are proud of them."

William Sonoma releases Stranger Things collection in preparation for Season 5 - Yanko Design

Since this Netflix hit relies heavily on nostalgia and all things '80s and retro, the collection of cookies, candies, and kitchen tools also follows that theme. So if you were born that time or if you just enjoy all things from that decade, this collection would be right up your alley. The main draw is the Stranger Things Advent Calendar, which helps you count down to the Christmas season and is packed with '80s‑themed sweets and treats that would feel at home in Hawkins, Indiana.

Screen Grabs: Red Sonja rides again - 48 hills

The Kennedy Center Honors were always a populist affair, not to be confused with the somewhat more upscale National Medal of the Arts (which Presidents are also traditionally associated with). But under Trump, who shunned them entirely in his prior term, the announced next recipients are an almost comically MOR roundup: Phantom of the Opera Michael Crawford, "I Will Survive" singer Gloria Gaynor, cartoon metal act KISS, cartoon movie machismo exemplar Sylvester Stallone, and veteran country star George Strait, who couldn't be any straiter.
