That’s what I was thinkin’ Joe… Geez, Ex! We’re talkin’ kids cereals here!
In complete agreement about the Cap’n Crunch thing. The roof of my mouth would resemble the ground under the fence that was routinely scratched up by our dog, ever attempting his escape.
Anyway, my fave was Lucky Charms. I would slowly, deliberately, eat each of the cereal bits (the Lucky part?) leaving behind only dozens of soppy, colored ‘charms’ and pinkish-bluish milk. I would then eat those little marshmallows with such adoration… and slurp the milk, which had been sweetened to condensed milkishness…
Soooo good.
In adulthood, I have tried it, and nearly retched.
I ate the generic Cap’N Crunch – King Vitamin
Every single Dow component in the red right now.
Yeah, MM, some of the sugary treats I used to love as a kid basically taste like poison now. Good point about the hidden sugar, it can even be in the most unlikely dishes like on a hamburger or gyro.
I try to stick w/ an egg or two and black coffee. I found the low carb thing really does work, I just gotta remember the veggies!
Rice Krispies was the worst for sogginess.
Damn, you got a dirty mind ExTex!
You are right, Joe about cutting the roof of your mouth with CC. Trouble is, I didn’t like it when it got too mushy. You had to eat it in a quick window of time. As an adult, I can’t for the life of me understand why I used to love the stuff so much, it was my favorite cereal. On the whole, though, I never like super sweet sugary cereals that much, thank goodness. I’m partial to granola or raisin bran now, which I know also have their share of sugar. It’s just better hidden.
“Cap’n can really cut into the roof of your mouth if eaten at “full crunch”.”
Cap’n, let’s not start with the euphemisms this early in the morning. Let’s wait till after lunch and we’ve had something in our stomachs.
