I remember Fingos. My mom said I might as well get a box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch instead. There's more of that in each box than in Cinnamon Fingos. So, never tried them.

At the May 21,1993 Book It Texas fair at my Elementary school at the time in Spring ISD, free samples were handed out to students. I remember trying some and thinking to myself they were pretty good but nothing to write home about. Other kids told me "its alright".

I do. It was released in June of 1993 to completely disinterested consumers. It was only around for 4-5 months. It bombed rather badly. Last time I saw Fingos in Stores was at the Now Defunct Gerlands in February 1994. I remember it being marked down for $.99 by then.

Awesome video, I completely forgot about these! Totally agree, these should have been marketed as a snack chip (Stacy's Pita Chips in Cinnamon Sugar come to mind here). The box artwork really has an early to mid-90's vibe to it, reminiscent of the show "The Critic", as well as other late night toons of that time. Also a great way to combine a review of the new Jumbo Snax without devoting a whole video to them (they're not really cereal, everyone knows that lol). Video Request: Apple Cinnamon Rice Krispies. The colors on that box have always stuck with me.

I’m only a year younger than you, Gabe, and I don’t remember ever hearing of Fingos. The name doesn’t even sound appetizing; and they seem more like crackers than cereal to me, which is probably what Kellogg’s should have marketed them as (sure, Kellogg’s doesn’t MAKE crackers, but…).

You know how something is buried like, deep, deep down in your mind, and you don't even remember forgetting about something until somehow something manages to trigger that old dormant memory? I never thought I'd remember Fingos until I saw this video and now, clear as day I think I actually had some of them once. Maybe both flavors. It's strangely familiar now. Personally, if those were on the shelves today, I'd buy them up SPECIFICALLY to pour them into a bowl and dump milk on them. HA! Take that, marketing.

The strange thing is, I really couldn't have remembered the name, I couldn't really remember the commercials, but the cereal's shape and the two flavors brought back those memories. I must've got them at a bargain outlet, like they were trying to get rid of them.
