National Cereal Day!

Its National Cereal Day, and the weather is Beautiful outside.

Coincidence? Hardly.

 

Cereal is a big reason why I have made it this far. It’s not the biggest, but it’s in the top 10.

It has provided comfort more times than I could count, but if you used the National debt as a baseline then you’re close.

The Kellogg brothers were among the first to make cereal, because they were health conscious, which was a bit outside the box (pun intended) way back in those days. They certainly could not have envisioned what those Corn Flakes were going to do to the planet. It even out performs sliced bread.

OK, there are those cereals that are healthy for you. I will not address those in this forum, save for one that makes my list, and that’s because Doc Evans said that’s what I needed to eat.

So, without any further delay, pass the milk and lets break down the top 10 list of Georges Vitamin fortified ‘go to’ favorites, shall we?

 

10. Fiber One. Doc said eat it, so I do. They have improved it since I began eating it and it really isn’t that bad for cardboard. My colon likes it, though, and that’s what counts.

9. Cheerios. I used to add sugar, but because I’m older and mature, just eat them without sugar. It is the grown up thing to do. I will add banana if I want to impress Wifey.

 

8. Honey Nut Cheerios. For when I want sugar on my Cheerios. It is Kid healthy, meaning you don’t feel so guilty for giving them Froot Loops or Cap’n Crunch.

7. Frosted Flakes. I can pay homage to the brothers Kellogg and live a little with sweetened corn flakes. Besides, Theyre Great! I got a 3d Phil Niekro Baseball card in them once. Add banana to feign healthy eating.

6. Honeycomb. It’s not small, no, no, no. Big big box, and a big big bite. It’s so 1970s. I would have to rank Alpha Bits the same. Same cereal, different shape. Can’t fool me.

5. Apple Jacks. A is for Apple, J is for Jawage likes some cinnamon toasty Apple Jacks. Sometimes you’d get a real crunchy one where the sugar and cinnamon stuff made like a stone. Delish! And one of the few cereals you can pour the settled parts in the bowl.

4. Super Sugar Crisp (Sugar Smacks). Our High School band was named after Sugar Bear. Be true to your school, just like you would to your cereal. And not unlike asparagus, it made your pee smell. That AND usually a good prize in the box.

3. Cocoa/Fruity Pebbles. Cocoa Krispies make the milk Chocolate, and the Fruity ones are well, fruity. The box is entirely too small.

2. Froot Loops. Open the box, and smell. Toucan sam is right, follow your nose. Love me some loops of froot.

1. Cap’n Crunch. Oh Captain, my Captain--If I were in charge, he’d had been promoted to Admiral long ago. Other than roof of mouth requirements, this is my main go to----
