Ricicles is a breakfast cereal
sold by Kellogg
's in the United Kingdom
. It is essentially the same as Kellogg's Rice Krispies
(also sold in the United Kingdom), but with the addition of a frosted sugar coating. On the cereal
box the text appears as 'RiCiCLES'. It is known as Frosted Rice Krispies in the United States.
Ricicles' mascot is the astronaut 'Captain Rik', who replaced Henry's Cat
in the 1980s.
In the 1990s in the United Kingdom and some other markets, small marshmallow pieces were added to the cereal. This met with mixed but generally unpopular reception. A while after the change, 'original' Ricicles (the cereal in its original non-marshmallow form) was sold alongside the new version; however, the marshmallow version was generally unpopular enough for it to quietly disappear from the shelves after a couple of years. As of January 2009 Ricicles were no longer included in Kellogg's variety packs instead being replaced with a new product to test on customers.
