Nope - not me either

[papajoemambo]

We were SPECIAL K, RAISIN BRAN and RICE KRISPIES all the way. The best I could wrangle from my Mom when I was little was SHREDDIES because they weren't just sugar (which meant she could eat them - Mom was always careful with her weight, and she was too frugal to buy anything that she herself wouldn't want a bite of sometime) - and because they had all of the Disney movie tie-in toys. I was an ENORMOUS Disney fan up to about the age of 8 or so (when superheroes moved into my imagination and stayed). Mom would also buy GOLDEN HONEYS for me - remember the Winnie The Pooh cereal? Might be before your time.

Things like this:



Remember all of those spoon-caddies and bowl-hangers and Barrel-Of-Monkey styled Disney danglers? The bowl hangers would sit on the edge of the cereal bowl, or you could stick em on yer pencil while you were doing your homework...
