Saturday mornings used to be the sh%t…they still are, for the sleep though, not the cartoons….and, the prize in the bottom of the cereal box….remember what a big deal that was?? It seemed all my friend’s parents would buy the ‘good’ cereal…..we weren’t allowed to have anything with more sugar than Corn Pops…..puffed wheat (lame)…..Shreddies (boring)….Raisin Bran (Bran for kids??)
My sis and I used to take turns with the prizes. Well, not really, we were SUPPOSED to, but, I was the bigger, older sis, what I said went…..sorry Kath. I’ll buy you some silly putty or something to make it up to you:) Wasn’t the begging in the cereal aisle the worst??? The placement of the kid fave’s cereal is at exactly the perfect eye-catching height for kids…..smart marketers….
My fave though, were the ‘vareity packs’ that were sold in 8’s….remember those?? they were the best….Fruit Loops (which were never allowed)….Frosted Flakes (weee)…….I still to this day have never had Count Chocula or Booberry, Frankenberry or Cpt Crunch….yeah, I know, weak:)
Have a great weekend. I’ll post the countdown bonus code here tomorrow….I’m supposed to wait till it runs, at least the first time, says the b-o-s-s…..kay…..see below…
