Description
This was a graham cracker flavored cereal popular (somewhat) in the late 1960s, early 70s. The food itself wasn't that great (each "clacker" was almost as big as the spoon one used to eat it), but the commercials we're pretty cool. Even as a little kid, I remember the alien who said, "Take me to you ..." and he was interupted by a large booming voice that said, "CLACKERS!" It was mildly retarded, but I got a kick out of it. I also remember collecting several of those Wacky Racer cars (from the early 1970s cartoon Penelope Pitstop, et al) by having my mom buy that particular cereal.

An even more fun toy was the Clacker Quacker, a plastic tube with a plastic reed integrated into it, that you would blow into and make a really annoying, loud quacking sound with. The scary part is that I still have mine.

Hey you guys...I thought Clackers were those 2 glass balls on string that you clacked together...and the alien cereal was called Quackers...right?
The alien cereal was Quisp! But you're right about the glass ball Quackers--they were eventually banned because they shattered and flew in people's faces and eyes.
The toy with the two "glass" balls was called Klackers. I had one in 1972 (my brother opted for a Duncan yo-yo), but they were pulled off the market shortly thereafter because they had a tendancy to shatter and send shards of the glass or plastic material into the user's face.
Back to the cereal, though, I remember the taste wasn't very good (unless you liked gnawing on a wheel sized chuck of graham cracker, but the commercials were funny (to a little kid, at least).
