General Mills, where did you go wrong?
Remember the good ol' days of sugar cereal? Back when Trix was just little crunchy balls in rainbow colors, and Toucan Sam wasn't caught in a downward spiral of increasingly odd flavor combinations? Most of all, when they weren't covered in a strange substance that leaves a coating on your mouth and a weird slick on your milk?
This nostalgia was brought on because my mother bought Apple Jacks. I haven't had Apple Jacks in many years, and was pretty excited about it, mostly because I can still remember the jingle. "A is for Apple! J is for Jacks! Cinnamon-crunchy, appley sweet. It's the one you want, it's the one to eat!" (Wow, that's... sad.) But it just wasn't the same. I stared at the strange colors swirling in the leftover milk and wondered, why? Why'd they have to go and mess with a good thing?
Although I did get a sweet light-saber spoon out of the deal. Now I can eat my cereral in the dark AND fight the forces of evil!
