SUGARY CEREALS OF YORE: KING VITAMAN???

As a kid growing up in the nutritionally-challenged 1970s I ate every crap cereal there was: Captain Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, Apple Jacks, Frosted Flakes, Quisp, Quake, Fruit Loops, Lucky Chamrs–you name it, I scarfed it. But…King Vitaman? Seriously? Never heard of it! While on a cereal-nostalgia binge I came across this reel of King Vitaman (intentionally misspelled I suppose) commercials. Shockingly, most of the above named cereals are still available–but not King Vitaman…at least I’ve not seen it on the shelves of the markets I frequent. But according to this cereal-fansite, King Vitaman is still manufactured and sold. Where? By whom? To whom? Under what rock does one crawl to find this lowly entry into teeth-rotting, pre-diabetes inducing, nutrient-free garbage? I want to try it…
