Graham Crackos
by Kellogg's
Gone. Kellogg's swore it was on sale from November 1978. No end date was ever announced: fans recall it disappearing around 1983, and the trademark was cancelled in 1989 when Kellogg's stopped declaring it in use.

🧾 One more thingKellogg's filed for the name in 1979, but the trademark office didn't register it until 1983, and even then Kellogg's had to give up any exclusive claim to the word 'Graham'. Fans remember the cereal vanishing about as soon as the paperwork cleared.
