Description
This sweet granola breakfast cereal had the consistency of Grape Nuts, but was way sweeter. It's the only ceral I know of that had pieces of coconut in it! Man, was it good! Around in the 70's. Anyone else remember it?

This was my favorite granola cereal. There was regular and with raisins. I remember that it was funny that the raisins were quite hard. It was far better than any granola cereal around now.

Wow, I forgot all about this cereal, but my Mom was amazed that I liked it as much as I did. This was by far the best granola cereal I have ever tasted.

C.W. Post was introduced in 1974, using the first and middle initials of the guy who founded Post Cereals in 1895, and becoming affiliated with General Foods by 1930.

On the Chicago Scene. From mid 1974, one of several TV commercials for C.W. Post featuring song-and-dance men in clothing from Vaudeville days. Each had a setting like a picnic, sporting event or in a neighborhood street. This aired on the syndicated "Dusty's Trail" western sitcom on WMAQ Ch. 5. The show, by Sherwood Schwartz, was formatted exactly like "Gilligan's Island," only set in 1872, on mostly dry land. On a separated wagon train, Bob Denver was Dusty, the hapless shotgun rider to Forrest Tucker's (as his boss) Calahan. There were five passengers. Married rich couple, brainy guy, dance hall girl, and farm girl. Exact reasons why "Dudty's Trail" never gained enough audience to go beyond one season, 26 episodes. Afterward, Denver and Tucker starred in separate Saturday kid shows.
