King Vitaman is a brand of sweetened breakfast cereal produced by Quaker Oats and sold in the United States. The cereal entered the marketplace in 1968, and although it has changed mascots over the years, it is still in production. King Vitaman Cereal boasts high vitamin and iron content, in addition to a more modest amount of sugar (only 6 grams per serving—more popular breakfast cereals, such as Cap'n Crunch and Lucky Charms contain 13 grams or more). The early television commercials for the cereal were animated by Jay Ward Productions, the creators of Rocky and Bullwinkle. The advertising featured King Vitaman (voiced by character actor Joe Flynn) and his knights: Sir Laffitup & Sir Cravenleigh and their foes Blue Baron (voiced by Paul Frees) & Not-So-Bright Knight. Subsequent non-animated advertisements ended with a jingle inviting children to "Have Breakfast with the King." From 1971 until his death in 1977, actor George Mann, an ex-vaudevillian in the comedic dance act Barto and Mann, depicted King Vitaman on the cereal box and in television commercials.
[1] In 2000, Quaker Oats returned to an illustrated character on their King Vitaman cereal boxes. King Vitaman has been an inspiration for poem[2] and song.

The invention of the laser in 1960 resolved issues of imprecision in lighting holographic recordings, and throughout the 1960s experiments were performed to render holographs viewable in ordinary conditions.
Soviet scientist Yuri Denisyuk innovated a “reflection” technique in 1962; and in the U.S., the now-familiar “rainbow” hologram technique was developed by Stephen A. Benton at Polaroid in 1968. It’s this pair of developments that allowed the public to glimpse the magic of 3D holograms. By the 1970s, holograms were becoming so easy to produce that you could find them as a giveaway on the side of your breakfast cereal box. Quaker Oats’ King Vitaman cereal used a Denisyuk-style reflection hologram as part of its “King’s Ring” promotion in 1972. For just 50 cents, you could send away for King Vitaman’s royal signet, which included a secret compartment and a holographic image of King Vitaman himself. The hologram was developed by a team at McDonnell Douglas headed by Selwyn Lissack and Cecile Ruchin, who, along with Jody Burns, would later go on to found the New York School of Holography, which not only taught holography but also exhibited holographic projects. This King Vitaman promotion was not the first collaboration between a breakfast cereal company and Cold War-era scientific research.
General Mills, the cereal and food services giant whose “Monster Cereals” are American icons, had an electronics research division that developed the submersible vehicle DSV Alvin, a manned deep-sea research vessel that has explored several famous shipwrecks, including the Titanic, and even helped recover an unexploded H-bomb.

M - - Report this comment Submit a story or info about King Vitamin5 cereals you thought were gone forever (that you can still buy on Amazon) People are serious about their cereal. Everyone has a favorite. Of course, there are a host of awesome cereals — like Sprinkle Spangles, Choco Donuts, and Pop-Tarts Crunch, to name a few — that, unfortunately, didn't stand the test of time. For some, like Special K Blueberry and Oreo O's, there are active petitions to bring them back to store shelves.
For other, there is hope and its name is Amazon. Not too long ago, a late-night Google search for "Rice Krispies Treats Cereal" yielded surprising results for this editor. As it turns out, you can still buy boxes of it on Amazon. And, it's not the only one. Below, we're sharing five favorite, childhood cereals you can scoop up now — this is not a drill. 1. Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Cereal Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Cereal, $3.14, available at Walmart. Kellogg's Rice Krispies Treats Cereal (Pack of 4), $25.50, available at Amazon. 2. General Mills Cereals French Toast Crunch General Mills Cereals French Toast Crunch, $3.13, available at Walmart. 3. Post Waffle Crisp Cereal Post Waffle Crisp Cereal, $10.12, available at Amazon. 4. Quaker King Vitaman Cereal Quaker King Vitaman Cereal, $15.77, available at Amazon. 5. Quaker Cap'n Crunch's Sprinkled Donut Crunch Cereal Okay, this cereal isn't technically a throwback, but Amazon commenters are pretty sure it's the best thing since Sprinkled Spangles was discontinued in 1998.
One review asserts, "this is a perfect recreation of Sprinkle Spangles, only in a different shape." Another quips that "if Sprinkle Spangles and Oreo O's had a baby..." Quaker Cap'n Crunch's Sprinkled Donut Crunch Cereal (Pack of 2), $16.00, available at Amazon. 6. Post Oreo O'S Cereal with Marshmallow Bits There are, however, reports that Oreo O's are still available in South Korea.
