Kellogg's Danish G0-Rounds (1968-1978)




One of my first retro-food obsessions! I remember these as an alternative to Pop-Tarts as they sure looked like they had more yummy fruit filling (but they didn't). They tasted exactly like Pop-Tarts and came in the same routine flavors (Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Blueberry, etc.) I have no idea what the point was....but I loved them! The great TV commercial has a little animated merry-go-round with the Danish Go-Rounds (in place of carousel horses ) moving up and down as a chintzy jingle went "New, Kellogg's, Danish Go Rounds...." . Danish Go-Rounds devolved into Danish Rings in 1977 and were gone by 1978.

  2. These were better than pop tarts. I wish they still made them!
    do you also remember Morton's honey buns (they had jelly donuts for a while & they were good but the honeybuns were to die for, better than krispy kreme

  5. Danish Go-Rounds! Yes! I loved them, too. And, I remember Morton Honey Buns, as well. How 'bout those Morton doughnuts that went in the oven? All that crunchy sugar! Wonderful! Man, I crave those doughnuts even today!

  6. I have been asking people for years if they remembered "Merry Go Rounds". I had it wrong and I corrected myself just tonight! Yep, Danish Go Rounds.

    I totally remember these treats. I couldn't wait to get home from school and pop a couple of the brown sugar ones into the toaster. I would buy and devour them if they existed today. Thank you for the great memory.
