Just as I thought. A lot of you are going, “Huh?”
You see, that’s the curse of getting old. I remember things – in this case a product that came and went – that nobody else does. At least nobody under the age of fifty.
Well, above you see an ad for Kellogg’s Danish Go-Rounds that ran in the Journal on October 23, 1968 – 50 years ago today.
My mother brought them home from the grocery store at least once, because I remember breaking it into strips before eating it. But I recall Mom buying Pop Tarts more often. (I still buy Pop Tarts once in a while, although Kellogg’s is getting pretty skimpy on the frosting these days; it’s just a thin smear. I’m more likely to buy Toast’ems, the original toaster pastry, at the dollar store.)
I’m not sure that having a carousel theme in the Danish Go-Rounds newspaper ad made a lot of sense. That probably didn’t help make people hungry.
Strangely enough, a lot of people do remember Danish Go-Rounds and are still upset that they were discontinued. Before it discontinued its online food discussion forum, the chowhound.com website was loaded with comments from people who wished Kellogg's would bring Danish Go-Rounds back.

I remember those, and as I recall, we did try them....they were okay, but we preferred Pop-Tarts, which I still buy.
I really wish Danish go rounds were back on the shelves. Me and my sisters preferred them to pop tarts. Bring them back!!
These things had it all over pop tarts, way more filling. I too wish they still made them.
Wish they still made them. Pop tarts suck
I know this may be hard to believe, but my dad invented the proto type for danish go rounds. They were having problems with the equipment tearing the dough. My dad while at home figured it out with tinker toys. my mom still has the aluminum press that was the prototype. Keebler bought us new tinker toys.
Hey, I'm 60yrs old and I Definitely Remember those Delicious Danish Go Rounds too.
Yes !!! Because I truly Remember being so happy as a child to get either one of these Absolutely Delicious treats !!
I loved the cinnamon Danish Go-Rounds. My Mom bought Pop Tarts for my brothers, and Danish Go-Rounds for me. I would try to unravel it before eating it!! LOL #GoodOleDays
I was eating a pop tart this morning and remembered as a kid loving Danish Go rounds. I would be buying them now if the ever came back!
Yes, I wish they still made them, too. I really enjoyed them.
Loved the Danish Go-Round. Like a Pop Tart, only better. On this day, the 5th of May in the year 2024, I do hereby officially petition the Kellogg Company (now more affectionately known as Kellanova) to bring back the Danish Go-Round in all of its frosted variants. Pretty please.
Danish go rounds were better than pop tarts! That is why I remember them so much!
"A new;kind of pastry that's frosted and tasty, you'll love new Kellogg's danish go-rounds." I loved the orange, but there were only 4 in a box.
I loved the danish go rounds! Sometimes they were hard to eat because I was at the age of losing teeth, but they were so worth the effort!
Bring back Danish Go-Rounds!
