THE DANGERS OF CEREAL: THE CEREAL GODS GIVETH. THE CEREAL GODS TAKETH.

hey kids, just a quick message from your friends at cereal is life letting you know that cereal can be dangerous, so you should watch yourself. although cereal is my cruel mistress, i did say she was cruel. she can take a bite out of your life, as much as you bite her(that was pretty good right?)

-your wallet: let's face it, cereal is expensive, 1 $3 box a week will run you 156 bucks a year. OUCH. that's not even covering you fancy organic granola people, and the addicts like myself who can easily consume 2 boxes a week if we're not careful. that adds up, so my advice: watch for sales, try off brands, or eat toast for breakfast sometimes, it won't kill ya.

-your mouth: whenever i bring up captain crunch, some clown decides to be funny and throw in a "tears up the roof of your mouth, bro" yeah sure. maybe for some, but my mouth has been conditioned to withstand the roughest of cereals. but this guy has a point. some cereals(kashi go-lean crunch par example) is tough as nails and could make for a less enjoyable consumption. my advice: let SOME cereals(at your discretion) sit for a sec before eating.

-making you late for the bus: oh wait that was me the other night. damn you 5 boxes for $5 sale. i had to walk home carrying my groceries. cereal, my love for you carries too much weight. my advice: get a car. FML

-your bowels: i have a friend *cough*maxwell*cough* who eats like 4 bowls or raisin bran a day. now i love raisin bran, and it's ability to keep you regular, but that guys spends all damn day on the toilet. advice: watch your bran consumption.

and max, sorry bud, for the "shout out". i don't think he reads this anyways.

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG. SORRY.

just wanted to make a quick update, after 5 months. I have been eating less cereal lately due to my finances, and so the blog has been suffering. But i have a few cereal/blog related things to say:

First and foremost, HUGE shoutout and love to my friends, their friends, and everyone who reads this. The Hendershot family especially. apparently wade and blair sent this link to their whole family. Awesome. Thanks for reading. Now some cereal liner notes:

1. Great Value(read: Wal-Mart) now sells a cereal like raisin bran crunch. I've only had a few bites, but it is really cheap, and I approve. Look out for that.
2. Golden Grahams are so underrated. Man, I really forgot how much I love them.
3. Pebbles makes a like Confetti, cupcake flavored cereal now, its pretty good, i actually really like it, but it isn't cake-ey enough. Once you add milk it tastes just like Rice Krispie Treats cereal(which is one of the BEST ever). I need cereal innovators to make new things, not just rehash and steal something that exists and put it in a new box. Come on. At least make taste like cupcake batter, ya'll are just getting lazy.
4. Within the next week, look for 2 more updates. i bought some cereal, and i have stuff to say.

Thanks again,

Lots of Love,
