I'm really on a cereal kick right now. I have always been super fond of cereal because my mother was not the best cook in the world. Cereal was often my salvation when she served liver, headcheese, or blood sausage for dinner. Bless my mother for never forcing me to eat animal organs, entrails, or hooves.When people ask me if becoming a vegetarian was easy, my reply is usually, "It was a snap!"
Speaking of snaps....and speaking of cereal....I fondly remember eating oodles of this stuff when I was a kid. Nice snappy rice. Nice, inappropriate image of an Asian person selling rice. Nice huge amount of sugar to keep kids interested in buying more.
I never realized the guy's name until I found this picture on the internet last night.
Oh yes! Eat enough Rice Krinkles with all that sugar and YOU could become SO-HI too! YEEEE!
Here's another one. I never got to have it, but I do recall seeing it on the shelf.
GAAAAAAAAAAAA! Looking at the box, I really don't mind that I never got to bring that one home. It must have tasted horrendous. Kids must have had a riot chewing it and spitting it out on the sidewalk.
I am more mature about my cereal choices at this stage of my life, but every now and then I do find myself crawling around on the floor of the cereal aisle to view the sweet stuff they keep at toddler level. Grape Nuts and Wheaties help make this morality struggle a lot easier.
