GROWING UP, THE NEXT STEP (PART II) / SNAP, CRACKLE, AND POP ARE HIPSTERS

when it gets late, and i need something semi substantial to munch on, i reach for rice krispies. they weigh almost nothing, and might actually be made of almost nothing. this usually meets the qualifications for what i'm looking for in the late hours, fast, delicious, and won't make me feel like a fat slob. this is one of the better cereals to boost up to the next level with toppings, and i love getting creative with the possibilities of my bowl of krispies. although quite possibly the noisiest/most annoying cereal in existence (don't bring it to the office, or into a quiet movie watching session). i want to highlight some of these toppings, because it almost makes it a different cereal.

-honey (optional cinnamon): this is my go to for krispies. a little sweetness mixed up makes this cereal taste amazing. add cinnamon and it is like i poured my cereal into a big bowl of horchata.
-bananas: slice. that. shit. up.
-frozen berries: gives the milk a good flavor (and can make it pink), keeps the cereal extra cold, and tastes amazing.
-in yogurt: this is something i just recently tried, but was really into. adding granola to yogurt is one of my all time faves, but krispies in yogurt gives it a nice texture, while still letting you appreciate the flavor of the yogurt itself. i'm a big fan.

also want to shout out snap, crackle and pop in this post, their mascot recognition is up there with the legends, they have been joked about by mitch hedberg, and family guy among others. they have been around for ages (the 1930's according to wikipedia). Over the years of their look has evolved, but one theme has remained: they dress like gigantic hipsters. Snap has that mid 2000's hipster bandana look going on that was ever popular while i was in college, crackle's beanie look dangerously close to completely falling off of his head and i think he might be wearing some for of a bow-tie, and pop might be wearing some form of 19th century military jacket and horse riding pants. in fact, i actually think i saw someone wearing the exact same outfit as Pop at a los angeles club a few years ago. and he was one of the hippiest looking fuckers in the whole place.
