Well, good morning, it's breakfast time and therefore breakfast thoughts... This morning, Jason Roland was at work (presumably hungry too) and was mentioning the history of breakfast cereals. He gave me the cool link for the title which has almost anything anyone would want to know about the different characters on cereal boxes.
I fondly remember the monster cereals by General Mills. I think most people like Count Chocula, but my favorite was definitely Frankenberry (not a big fan of chocolate).
It’s kinda sad to think that some cereals had to change their names so that they would have a “Sugar-Free” title (i.e. Sugar Smacks to Honey Smacks). To think how far we must got to be ‘Politically Correct.”
Anyways, I know it’s wrong, but I end up skipping breakfast cereals in the morning… prefer to eat them late at night instead!

Interestingly, Booberry cereal was shelved for a while, but now it seems to be back. Now Frankenberry seems to be the one missing in the stores. Count Chocula remains a staple, though.
