Quisp is still around, and Lucky Charms is as popular as ever. Sugar Smacks is just called Smacks, and I have never heard of Concentrate.
OK. I stand corrected. I thought of another one: Maypo. It was a hot cereal that was supposed to taste like maple. There was a famous ad campaign that had famous people (mostly athletes) saying "I want my Maypo." They later used that idea for "I want my MTV." ad campaign.
