This caught my attention. Tim Bits Cereal. This is real. Coming to grocery store shelves early this year. I might have to dive into a box!
As a kid I chose the cereal I liked the most based on two criteria:
- Sweet and Sugary
- Awesome Toy/Prize
Sometimes the toy outweighed the actual tastiness of the cereal. I remember begging my mom for a box of Shreddies so I could get the toy inside. She cautioned me over and over again, “if I buy that you have to eat it… ALL”.
Mom knew me too well, I mean Shreddies? C’mon they’re like little squares of pure unadulterated blandness. But I wanted that toy more than anything and finally she caved. I ripped that box top open and dug to the bottom of the box so fast that I think I got “Shreddies Burn” on my forearm. And then…
Well, that box of Shreddies may still be way in the back of the cereal cupboard in the house I grew up in on Foley Drive.
Is your breakfast cereal just solid wads of sugar? Or are you an actual grown-up and you eat stuff like oatmeal?
Drop me a comment with your fave cereal on our FB page.
