Sugar Jets Cereal (1954)

 

Sugar Jets Cereal! More sugar than your body needs in easy bite-sized bits.

Sugar Jets cereal was introduced in 1953, but here is a 1954 box. Its mascot for years was Major Jet. I have collected a bunch of ads, premiums, and comic strips about this cereal since I loved the "space age" design. So here is my collection so far.

I do have to recommend this 1958 Sugar Jets commercial for its space age appeal and the commercial for the Lindberg Space Station model you could send away for.

A giveaway premium: Major Jet's Rocket-Glider

Next is Major's Jet's Magic Paint Set. I had blogged about these cereal premiums back in 2013.

"Yes, the universe of tomorrow may seem as small as the world of today!"

Finally here is some of the advertisements/comic strips that used to appear in the Sunday comics.

Thank goodness for Major Jet and his Jet Helicopter!
