There are way too many cereals today. I, for one hand, don't like cereal. When I was little, I use to like cheerios and cocoa puffs. But now, cereal makes me queasy. I just does fro some reason. There are so many cereals out on the market and one claims they are better than the other. General Mills is making cereals with "whole grain" (yeah right) they're just trying to pull in people to their cereal brands claiming that they are healthier. Doubt that's true.
They even have the same type of cereal with different brand names. Such as: Post Raisin Bran and Kellogg Raisin Bran. I think it's the same thing just from different companies. Some times. I get confused. Thinking that Trix cereal is a Kellogg brand when it's really General Mills. Same with Lucky Charms and and that psychotic Cocoa Puff Bird. Now on to cartoons on cereal.
The Trix Rabbit. What is his problem??? Is he hooked on this stuff like it's crack? The lucky charm, if I caught him, I don't want a box of Lucky Charms, I want his pot of gold, or better yet, a million dollars. The Cocoa Puff bird, if he gets near chocolate, he's going to end up in an insane asylum . There were three, yes three of those cinnamon toast crunch bakers. But now there was only one (I had a feeling that the only baker shot and killed the other two) Now he's gone and there are little squares. All right now talking cereal. Do we really need to hear David Spade's voice a frosted Wheaties helping kids with school?? C'mon, that's just sad. Oh here's another lame post cereal that I never ate as a child, fruity pebbles. Just to see a clay-mation of Barney and Fred sickens me. The cartoon was better (although I prefer the Simpsons or futurama to that) but the cartoon commercials are a lot better than what we have now. I mean now Fred is letting Barny have his fruity pebbles.
Also I don't know if I ever heard cereal actually talk (or snap crackle and pop) I've watched vintage commercials and back in the 60's old TV shows would promote these cereals and say collect enough box tops and you'll get a prize. Even the toys inside the cereal box aren't really amazing or eye popping as they show on TV. What do you expect. It even smells like cereal.
Now we're trying to stay healthier with these whole grain, good for you cereals such as special k or anything else from special k, and that guy in the fiber one cereal commercials. He is so annoying. For me, my breakfast would be toast and juice or those strawberry (no frosting) pop tarts, or hard boiled egg, but never cereal. But as long as we look at the nostalgic days where cereal was packed full of sugar, it's still considered an American staple. Till then, enjoy your breakfast, whatever it is. Ciao Bloggers!
