Quisp, a cereal and a character from the past, gains new life and new sales through the Internet

Article Abstract:

Quisp cereal, very famous and a big seller in the late 1960's and early 1970's, lives again. Quaker Oats still makes the product, but it was available only in the Buffalo and Detroit areas. Once old fans found out about that, they would send for it. Now there is a Web site to make purchases a little easier. Visitors to www.quisp.com can even send each other Quisp greeting cards. Netgrocer.com is linked and distributes the product. FCB Chicago, the brand's agency, hired Spumco to do the "first Internet cereal cartoon."
