Breakfast with Steve Urkel? (1990)

 I have to say I had never heard nor seen this next item when the product was in stores.

Ralston landed a licensing deal to develop Urkel-O's, spinning out of Family Matters. Unfortunately, despite the burgeoning popularity of Urkel (Jaleel White), the cereal bombed.

Yes, I know this is taken from a Saturday morning airing, but you know.......

I never tried the product, but I remember this ad.

Urkel-O's came out during a time when any pop-culture character that had even a smidgen of popularity could get a breakfast cereal. Bill & Ted had a cereal at one stage, and we bought that once; it was actually pretty good (a lot of cinnamon, as I recall) but as with all of these fly-by-night fads, once Bill & Ted's stars faded, the cereal was gone.
