companion product to bugles

this is driving my wife and i insane-we both remember a "companion" product to Bugles also made by the same company, but cannot remember it's name.Are we imagining this or does anyone else remember?HELP it's making us crazy!!!!

Horns?

That question been haunting me for a while. Though I remember there was three products not two.

This may jog your memory, it didn't help me:

I think General Mills also made "Gardetto's" and "Wahoo!"

i don't think it was horns-that's too close to bugles. if i could recall the shape that might help-i seem to remember being able to fit one over a bugle...this is truly a haunting problem someone must know

The market for puffed, shaped snacks (of which Snackers was one example) was not developed until General Mills introduced Bugles, Whistles, and Daisys nationally in 1966.

My family was living overseas and my aunt mailed us boxes of then-new Bugles - they were crumbs by the time we got 'em, but still enjoyable.

A couple more shapes, Buttons and Bows, cropped up later, then they all disappeared from our shelves (til Bugles cropped up again).

Thanks for the help!Does anyone remember what shape they were?(Whistles, that is)

I believe that the whistles were tube shaped and yellow, sort of like a cheeto with the center hollow.

Thanks to all who helped me solve the mystery of Whistles and Daisies!!! You have all saved us from a life of total insanity!!!

BakersBoy,
I remember them well, and used to try to blow a tune on them to no avail.
My consumption of snack foods has decreased so much in the ensuing aeons that I never noticed when they were discontinued.
The one snack cracker that I would really, truly miss is Chicken In A Biscuit. Triscuit is another, as are Wheat Thins.
To those ends, Nabisco, among others, is discovering that there's money to be made by retaining its "niche" products and continuing to sell them in those areas where sufficient traffic is generated to make the deal profitable. That's probably why some Nabisco products are sold in these parts that aren't nationally available (or don't seem to be) - they have a bakery over on Murphy Avenue in S/W Atlanta. Strikes me that I was once told that they have a certain amount of autonomy from bakery to bakery as to what they can continue to produce, so maybe that explains it.
Feedback, anyone?

This topic made me want some Bugles. My grocery store has them, buy one, get one free this week, so I am buying 2 bags tonight!!!

do bugles still come in the red box?

I haven't seen any boxes in several years. They now come in a bag.

darn, that sucks. I loved the red boxes...like eating cereal!
