Cereal killer
A joke that never gets old!
When do you eat it? And how often?
For breakfast, a few times a month.
What are your favorite cereals?
Weetabix. I eat others when I’m at hotels sometimes — Froot Loops are great snack foods — but mostly I just eat the one.
What kind will you not eat?
I don’t like the stuff with dried fruit in it.
What is the secret favorite that you don’t always admit?
Um. Weetabix? Seriously, it’s the only cereal I eat more than once a year.
What liquid do you pour on your cereal?
Skim milk. I suppose I’d use 1% if we were out of skim, but 2% feels too creamy now.
What do you put on top of your cereal?
Sugar and strawberries, bananas if we’re out of strawberries, but I will often elect not to have cereal if there are no strawberries. You can’t say I’m not rigid.
Do you prefer cereal or other foods for breakfast?
Depends when, but usually cereal is not my first choice.
Do you have any cereal-related rituals or other oddities?
Other than my ritual dance around the cereal bowl, singing chants to the cereal?

OK, since all the ‘cook kids’ are doing it I guess I will, too. ;-) And I’d love to see that cereal ritual dance!

What is it with these funny British Empire cereals? Hasn’t Weetabix heard of NAFTA?

Am I a cook kid or a cool one? And sadly the ritual cereal dance derives its power from its secrecy. But it is supremely cool, I have no doubt.
Weetabix is yummy, not weird! (It is British. Anyway, I live in the Commonwealth.) Froot Loops is not funny, though.

Yummy and weird are hardly incompatible. I’ve never eaten Weetabix, I wouldn’t know.
Commonwealth, yes, that was what I was wanting while my brain farted around… but it does weird me out that Canada has products I don’t know about, like it’s a different country or something. Or maybe it’s just cereal that’s stuck in the era of parochial nationalism, I don’t think I’ve seen Mexican cereal around much either.
Definitely, Froot Loops are deadly serious. They will flip out and kill you if you laugh at them. Happened to a third cousin of mine.

Canada also has superior chocolate bars, like Coffee Crisp and Mr. Big. In fact, even the chocolate bars that appear on the both sides of the border are better here. The chocolate used for American Kitkats? Grainy. Corn Pops here, however, suck.

You can get Weetabix in the US. Or at least I’ve bought it in Albany, which is, granted, across the country from you.
Perky Canada has own government, laws?
Can you get Caramilk in the US yet? That is one major lack. And Nanaimo squares. And sugar pie. I didn’t realise Mr. Big was Canadian. I am generally not a chocolate bar eater, but I used to import Caramilk: great for those depressed days in grad school.

Is there any actual cereal content in Weetabix? There’s very little cereal in Froot Loops; it’s about 85% sugar if I recall correctly — very high sugar content, anyway. As I recall it was #1 for sugar content until Moon Rocks came out with over 90%.

Oh, no, Weetabix is, like, healthy, which is why I need to put sugar on it.

Caramello is the same thing as Caramilk I think, just repackaged. Definitely one of the better candy bars of all time.
Have the “reduced sugar” kids’ cereals, sweetened with sucralose, made it up there yet?
I am still grooving on the discovery that Mexican-formula Coke is available here. Hoorah for sugar - real sugar!
May 26th, 2005 @ 11:39 am
No, Caramello is not the same, it’s much less good. (At least, it was last time I had it, years ago.)
I have no idea what kids’ cereals are available here, because I only ever buy the one kind of cereal.
May 26th, 2005 @ 9:46 pm
But it’s the same concept, right? Caramel inside chocolate squares? And it’s also made by Cadbury… dratted market segmentation, now I want to try a Caramilk. Or eat a Caramello. Or maybe a Milky Way.
There’s something about your blog, I think, that sends out chocolate-crave rays.
May 26th, 2005 @ 11:04 pm
But everything sends out chocolate-crave rays….
May 27th, 2005 @ 12:00 am
Nah, some things actually send iced coffee crave rays. Or caramel crave rays. Or red licorice crave rays, which suck to be hit by as I don’t really like red licorice very much.

[…] orses green,song,dumpster slut do I have a yami Aw geez not this shit again Quizzes Wolfa always makes me want chocolate. But which one of these is most accurate […]

Yes, Caramello is the same idea as Caramilk. I think. You could try Caramilk — if you came to Canada. You could also have a Nanaimo square, which I am currently craving.
I cannot possibly imagine why *I* would be sending out chocolate crave rays. I mean, really.
