Description
The box was small and foil wrapped. The cereal was tiny flakes that got chewey in milk. I'm still hoping it will make a comeback since it was healthy and sugar free!

I remember Concentrate Cereal. I LOVED it! Still in my adult life I hoped for a comeback myself. There is no cereal on the market like it and I truly miss it. Nothing comes even close to the flavor it had or the distinct wrapping. By the way, anyone know which company made it?

I sure wish this cereal would come back, too. When I was young Mom had an awful time getting me to eat breakfast. I hated it. The only thing I lied and was actually nutricious was this wonderful cereal. Please Kellogg's take head!!! We loved it then. We'd buy it for sure now.

Best thing about this cereal? If you poured seltzer over it (or any soda), it EXPLODED. Hilarious!

I grew up with Concentrate! A box will last only two days. I would take a 12 oz glass and fill it up to the middle, add sugar and milk and I was in heaven. I wonder why Kellogs took it out of the market. Darn!

I want my Concentrate even though you had no extra milk to play with. My mom and I would always have a bowl together and suddenly there was no more concentrate and mom has been gone for 10 years. Bring the cereal bacl..please

Does anyone know if Kelloggs has released the recipe for Concentrate? I think they took it off the market because it was simply too expensive to make. I seem to remember it pricing out for over $4.00/box in the late 70's however... it was so good that it would definitely be worth making at home as a treat. If they(Kelloggs's) won't make it again maybe they'll let us make it for ourselves!

I loved Kelloggs Concentrate. I would buy it every week, but my little sister would get down to breakfast first and eat my cereal!!! i would get so mad at her and my mom would say "if it's in this house, it's for everyone" of course I had 7 brothers and sisters...
Pauline - October 31, 2008 - Report this comment
I, too had 7 siblings to share with. Concentrate was my all time favorite cereal growing up in Hawaii. When I get desperate for my favorite cereal, I take my Kellogs corn flakes, smash it with the back of my spoon so that it breaks into small flakes (like the Concentrate Cereal), sprinkle some sugar on it, pour milk over it and enjoy it like I did when I was 10! That's the closest I can get to having my all time favorite cereal.
Christie - November 01, 2008 - Report this comment
It was my favorite cereal of all time!! It was just so unique...milk, sugar and oh, my, the way it chewed. I absolutely loved it. Each time a new store opens in my area, I look for it. After all these years, I am still looking for it. I can't believe in this day and age of "healthy" foods, Kellogg's hasn't brought it back. Small gold and white box with a big C...I loved it.
Mary - November 19, 2008 - Report this comment
This is so fun/funny to read since I see I'm not alone when I crave this cereal. The reason I loved it was because I was allowed to put sugar on it and the mix of sugar and concentrate at the end of the bowl was yummy.

My Dad would buy it, and I would sneak in the kitchen and eat it till I would almost get sick, I couldn't get enough. I grew up on Concentrate, it was always my favorite, that cute little Gold box with the Big C, I can almost taste it, I know it's "just a cereal" but I have honestly thought about it so very often, in fact I probably think of it every time I walk down the cereal isle! I've missed it for years. If I like it I buy it...I don't care if it's higher than the others....Sure wish I could taste it again. I don't understand why it can't be brought back...C'mon Kelloggs, give it another try!!!!!

My brother and I ate Concentrate growing up and to this day (40 years later) I sometimes crave the taste that I cannot match. We ate the cereal in little fruit bowls and one small bowl would completely fill you up. I think it was actually to be sprinkled on other cereal but we ate it alone. I beg you to bring this back!

Lawrence - March 12, 2009 - Report this comment
I LOVED this cereal. I would eat 1/2 a box at a sitting, but it had to be made just right: 2% Milk poured to just cover the small flakes and allow the milk to warm up to room temperature. This process made it taste nuttier, but you couldn't leave it too long or it would turn to mush. I want some NOW!

Yes, I remember eating this in the late 60s. It was expensive, so we used it as a cereal topping, like wheat germ. Heaven was an occasional 6 oz bowl of Concentrate and milk! The texture as well as the taste was very pleasing. I'd really like to see this come back!

When I was young we kids used to put just enough milk over the cereal to make it wet and dense and add way too much sugar and carve away at it with a spoon. When it was gone we'd do it all over again! We couldn't get enough. I still remember the chewiness and the nutty flavor -- hard to describe but not hard to eat!! I'll bet it would be a great ingredient in a loaf of homemade bread. Bring it back Kellogg's!
lynn - May 22, 2009 - Report this comment
I, too, have wished to find Kellogg's Concentrate again. think I'll write Vermont Country Store because they find or replicate out of production items. I wouldn't touch milk as a kid (and still won't) so I ate Concentrate straight out of the box through the little aluminum pour spout. I remember it being expensive but, for some reason, the number 50 sticks in my mind, as in maybe 50 cents. I'm certain I ate it before 1960 and purchased it in the mid 1960's when I lived on my own.

I was a cereal maniac growing up as a kid in the 70's and I made sure to try every kind of cereal at least once. I think that's why I started eating Concentrate and ended up thoroughly besotted. It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one wandering the cereal aisle mourning plantively for that beloved little gold box. At the very least, Kellogg's should search out the old recipe in their archives and make it available to those of us who'll try to do something with it. I've always wondered what the ingredients were that made it so addictive because I've yet to come across another food that even comes close to that unforgettable taste.

Ok, I never heard of this cereal, just stumbled across an ad for it in an old magazine and got curious. After reading everyone's comments, I thought I'd make a suggestion. If you really want it back you might try The Vermont Country Store. They sell a lot of long-gone things and I have no idea how they manage to do it, but I love them for it! There's a Suggest a Product page at the bottom of the homepage of their site. Good luck!

I was a very picky eater as a kid and the only cereal my Mom could get me to eat was Big C Concentrate by Kelloggs. I didn't know it at the time but it was Kelloggs brand of a "Healthy" alternative. I just knew I loved it and would eat nothing else for breakfast. I called it Big CC. As I got older the only place she could find it was at Ralph's. Then she heard they discontinued it. Please Kelloggs BRING IT BACK!!

Concentrate dry cereal was a special treat and soooooo satisfing as a snack,or quick morning start for the day. I used to hide the little gold foil box behind the other cereal since it was more expensive and I did not want the kids to divore it when I could pleasure my taste buds after they had gone to school. Why,Oh Why,did Kellogg drop it from the line of cereals? Was it too good and healthy when they could make more money off the "fillers full of sugar"? At this point in time it would be perfect to try and bring it back when everyone is paying for the healthy foods without the added sugars.

I miss this cereal soooo much. I looked for it for years. I just ate some oatmeal and was pining away for some Kellog's Concentrate. I used to occasionally mix it with vanilla yogurt. Mmmmmmm.

Add my name to the long list of CONCENTRATE DEVOTEES! My mom had to ration the cereal because I loved it so much as a child. I could have one bowl per day; this was circa 1960s. After I was grown, I bought it until it was no longer on the grocery shelves!! My grown daughter sent me this link because I have talked about this great cereal all her life, but she has never had any, as she is only 25 years old. I am now 56 years old and would buy it for the rest of my life if they ever returned to the market!! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GET KELLOGG'S TO READ THESE COMMENTS AND CONSIDER A "COMEBACK"?? IT WOULD BE A HUGE SUCCESS. Thanks for all the fun comments and memories above. Sincerely yours, Diane

Let me add my 2 cents and say I would pay $20.00 for a box of Concentrate. I ate it soaked in milk just enough to make a paste. It was great, and I think about it all the time. Kelloggs - Do yourself a favor, and bring this back. Pleeeease! Pleease! Pleeeeeeeaaase! oh please! I do wonder how healthy it really was? It tasted too good to be healthy. If you had a choice between chocolate or Concentrate - which would you pick. CONCENTRATE of course!!!!

Concentrate was my favorite cereal as I grew up, and remains my favorite cereal of all time. The completely unique texture, subtle taste with sugar and milk... and good for you! I was so disappointed when my home town store stopped stocking it. Even after I moved away for college I would check back at that store when in town to see if they had it. Kellogg's -- please bring back Concentrate!! Bob Stanley

I too would pay at least $20.00 for a box!! Please bring it back!!!!! Best to all fellow Concentrate lovers!!!

OMG...I too loved this cereal in the 1960's. If I had a choice between filet mignon, Lobster, Chocolate cake, etc.....I would rather eat Concentrate cereal. I think they stopped making it because the cost of goods was high and sales were low. This was my favorite cereal. My second choice was Post Oat Flakes which they stopped making in the 1980's. I don't really eat cereal anymore.

My family ate caseloads of this in the 70's and I'd beg my parents to keep buying more! I still think about Concentrate ALL THE TIME when I walk down the cereal aisle and see all the air-puffed, artifically flavored, sugary CRAP. Concentrate had none of that! With people being so health-conscious now it would probably sell better than ever- low fat, low sugar, low-salt, low-cholesterol, great taste and nutrition. I'd pay $20 a box too for such a perfect food! The taste was unique and amazing considering how nutritious it was. Kellogg's: why struggle to make new cereal recipes? Whoever took this out of the product line made a goof! This was one of the greatest foods ever!

I fondly remember this cereal as well. My folks bought this for me as a kid, so 1959, and I'd use just milk or also added sugar sometimes too. I still prefer no sugar/reduced sugar cereals, like rice chex or wheaties [ sure they have sugar, but can hardly taste it, not even close to frosted flakes ] I may try smashing corn flakes to mimic the concentrate as another poster suggested. Yup, sure would be nice to taste that again...

What a relief. I think about this cereal so often but no one I know remembers it. I loved it and wish for it and frankly am thrilled to read all these comments because they mirror mine. It was the tastiest cereal and the texture was perfect and nothing I have tasted since tastes like Concentrate. I had forgotten the foil box until reading the comments here but now I remember that and the amazing spout that made it different and somehow tastier than the other cereals.

Another Concentrate devotee checking in. I am drooling thinking about the taste of the wonderfood. I had forgotten the texture thing. I think that a "serving" was about 1/4 cup but that was NEVER enough. I'd love to see it on the shelves again.

Like all of the other people leaving comments, I really liked Concentrate. I too look for it every time I go to the cereal section hoping it will make a comeback. I am 57 and remember eating it for the first time in 1960. I think the last time I tasted it was in about 1975.

Here it is, 2010, I haven't had Concentrate since I was a kid in the 1970s. I am writing Kelloggs, sending this link plus the one from mrbreakfast that ranks Concentrate as #8 in 100 top breakfast cereals. I would love to have this in my pantry again some day, and be able for my daughter to try it. The best cereal ever, I won't forget it.

My grandmother introduced me to this cereal in 1966! I fell in love with it with the first bite. I still look for it in stores and hope that it might come back again or that some cereal close to it might appear!

My Mom always bought Concentrate cereal for her and would sometimes share it with my sister and I. I remember how delicious it was-I would love to see it back on the shelves! I would definately buy it....

I was looking through old newspapers today and saw an ad for Kelloggs Concentrate. I was telling my wife about it, and how we used to eat it in Football camp. I'm 65yrs old and will never forget the great taste and texture of this cereal. So I wanted to look it up on line, and found this web site. Incredible that there are so many positive comments on something I've missed and continue to look for, but cannot find. Wow did this bring back memories.

Concentrate was a real treat for me as a kid. My mom always bought it for my sister to eat, and sometimes I would be allowed to have some as well. I think it was a bit more expensive than other cereals so we could not always have it. However, I loved it and savored every bite of Concentrate. I remember the small box and the spout on the side of the box to pour the cereal. It had a unique taste, and was truly delicious. I, too, wish Kellogs would put it back on the market.
