Remember the days when you used bounce out of bed in the morning because a bowl of cookies disguised as cereal was waiting for you at the breakfast table?

Well, now you can relive those days as an adult.

Post announced that they're bringing back a cereal that was popular among most 90s kids, and has become somewhat of a cult favorite since then: Oreo O's. The cereal will be available in grocery stores around the US starting in June.

You can even locate the stores where the cereal will be available, thanks to a handy locator on Post's website.

If you weren't one of the lucky kids who was allowed to enjoy a bowlful of sugar for breakfast, here's how Post describes the cereal: "Chocolatey, crunchy O's with that Oreo cookie taste you love and a rich creme coating..."

In other words, it's every kid's dream breakfast. Much to fans' dismay, though, Post had to discontinue the cereal in 2007 due to a split between Kraft Foods Group and Post. Because Oreos are a Kraft product, the split meant that Post no longer had the right to use the Oreo recipe for their cereals.

However, Oreo O's devotees soon discovered that the cereal was still being produced in South Korea  That's because in South Korea, Dongsuh Foods produces Oreo O's, a company that was established by a joint venture between General Foods Corporation and Dongsuh. Kraft eventually acquired General Foods; this, along with the fact that Dongsuh had received a license from Post, allowed the company to continue producing Oreo O's.

The South Korean version of Oreo O's include small marshmallows that are flavored like Oreo filling, an addition that wasn't part of the American version 90s kids knew and loved.

Post is bringing back the OG version, though. So if you've become used to the South Korean marshmallows through purchases on eBay โ€” where boxes are being sold for as much as $226.80 โ€” then you might need to keep shelling out a fair amount of cash for your cookie cereal fix.

In any case, rejoice in the fact that come June you can eat as many bowls as you want, and make up for all the times that mom stopped you in the past.
