I have a food question...

It's because you don't watch cartoons while the cereal soaks up your chocolate milk.

Was I the only kid who asked for Raisin Bran?

Nope.

I also preferred Shredded Wheat (with bananas) as opposed to the sweet cereals.

Well,

Except for Frosted Flakes - Lurved me some FroFlakes

That happened to me! The only reason why I have never since I was a kid was because it tore up my mouth! Too hard and pointy-edged.

Oh my God I've always wondered the same thing! I sometimes have the same problem with pineapple too. But I'm not sure why it happens, sorry!

I knew someone who made Cap'n Crunch shakes.


Yeah, me either.

We don't have that brand here... I probably would've eaten it as a kid. I used to be all over the Froot Loops and Coco Pops. Eventually moved on to Weet-Bix with some sugar on top (still less sugar than the others, I'm sure) but now I don't eat breakfast...

There was something I was eating not too long ago that cut up my mouth a bit... Blanking on what it was.

Grape Nuts were the STUFF!

One of the few things I actually miss being gluten free, although since discovering kamut I can't really say I miss them anymore, plus I don't have that carb crash an hour after I eat.

Ditto on the Grape Nuts. Not the flakes, either. The Grape Nuts. Hard, tiny little things.

Rocks. You might as well have made yourself a bowl of pebbles.

Ah, but they were tasty little rocks that didn't get soggy as quickly as flakes.

Rocks covered in extra coarse grit sandpaper.

Ever see a clip of the classic SNL spoof-mercial for Quarry cereal?

I remember that one... as well as the one for 'Colon Blow'. Same difference.

Oh, I loved the Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch.

But I also loved those big ol' haystacks of shredded wheat with lots of sugar on top. that was at Grandma's house.

OFG, I don't want to embarrass you, but I can see your bra!

Not only did Cap'n Crunch rip your mouth, it mashed down into sticky yellow bits that lodged in your teeth that took forever to brush out. I think that the company was in cahoots with dentists everywhere.

I too was a kid who liked the unsugary cereals better and I loved the the "haystacks" my mother would run them under hot water for a second, then drain them and it was instant hot cereal.

Grape Nuts? Ermmmm...... where I'm from, that's a euphemism for haemarhoids -hemarrhoids - piles.


Now I am laughing and feeling really sick....
