Quisp Cereal was a saucer-shaped corn cereal with hints of brown sugar and vanilla. The original cereal was discontinued in the late 1970s, though it has seen various limited re-releases since then, with the most recent production run ceasing around early 2024.

Food Description

Shape: The cereal pieces were distinctive little "flying saucers".

Flavor Profile: It was a sugar-sweetened cereal with a taste often described as nearly identical to its Quaker Oats stablemate, Cap'n Crunch, but with a lighter texture that didn't "shred the roof of your mouth".

Key Ingredients/Tastes: The primary flavors were corn, brown sugar, and vanilla.

Discontinuation Status: Quaker Oats initially discontinued the cereal in the late 1970s due to low sales after it won a consumer vote against its companion cereal, Quake. However, Quisp developed a dedicated cult following and experienced several revivals over the decades, including:

Limited reintroductions in the 1980s and 1990s. A relaunch in 2001 as the "first Internet cereal," primarily sold through online stores and in limited "guerrilla displays" in select grocery and discount chains. Quaker Oats officially discontinued production again in early 2024, and it is no longer available in stores or via the online store, though consumers are actively asking the company to bring it back.
