Can't get enough of that... uh...

Ok. I love cereal. Growing up in Canada, I wasn't allowed to have sugar cereals.... and that caused a sugar cereal binge when I finally struck out on my own. Fruit Loops, Corn Pops, Lucky Charms.... yummy. But since moving down to the USA, I've notices some disturbing differences between what I grew up with, and what I see now.

This is the Sugar Crisp I knew and loved.....

But down here, it's called "Golden Crisp"?!!! Same great taste, less accurate name. Let's be honest, they're not golden. They're SUGAR.


Then there's the Corn Pops. These are your Corn Pops down here.... Puffy sweet rice. I'm confused, isn't that suspiciously similar to your precious "GOLDEN CRISP"?


This is what Corn Pops look like in Canada. They're round and delicious, and they're nothing like the puffed imposter at the Spring Hill Kroger.


Now, If you decide you want a nice wholesome breakfast... The options are ENTIRELY different. This cereal was my Dad's favorite. Personally, I liked it with heaps of brown sugar. I kid you not, they did a special box when Ninja Turtles were cool like 20 years ago... You know, the Shredder? Yeah he loved these this cereal...


My Dad's other favorite was Harvest Crunch.... it was very healthy.... but basically Rabbit Food. Kind of like GoLean, but WAY before GoLean. Quite disturbingly, this is the only picture I could find of it.


Riiiiiiiiiiight. I seem to remember my dad developing that same blank stare after a bowl of Harvest Crunch. Maybe it's the zoloft they put in it.

In any case... Cereal is more than a breakfast food. It's a great dinner or bedtime snack. I'm hoping I can get some sort of cereal endorsement some day. I'll wear a Post shirt all day for free cereal.

Can't get enough of that Sugar Crisp..... Uh, Golden Crisp. gosh.
