Buc-Wheats Cereal

Buc Wheats Cereal was a boxed cereal produced by General Mills throughout the 1970s. The cereal consisted of toasted flakes of wheat (originally also with buckwheat) with a sweet maple-flavored glaze baked onto them.

There is little to no information available on this cold cereal product, which was originally manufactured by Ralston Purina before that company sold its cereal division to General Mills. Buc-Wheats exists on the world wide web only as an honorable mention by those few people with childhood memories of enjoying the product as late as the early 1980s.

The TV commercial jingle went something like: "Pass the buck, pass the buck, pass the Buc Wheats."
