Breakfast Cereal
We were talking at work this morning about how breakfast cereals have been ruined over time, and how they’re just too complicated and fancy. Flavor and simplicity have been abandoned in favor of flashy colors and shapes. Lucky Charms adds a crazy new multicolored interactive marshmallow every year, Fruit Loops now has multicolored rings, Trix abandoned the classic round shape in favor of fruit shapes, way too many cereals include the watermelon flavor. Looking for information on Apple Jacks (no one agreed with me, but I remembered that the Jacks of my youth were only orange, none of this green nonsense. I was right.), I stumbled across The Decline and Fall of the Classic Breakfast Cereal. It’s a fun read for anyone who’s nostalgic for breakfast cereals of old.
