    I never got to taste this cereal, but the consensus seems to be it was bad.

    It really is a bit more trivial as adults to buy games most of the time. I do think it kind of takes some of the magic out of it. When I was young I had to be wise on what game I chose, because that game needed to last me a year.

    One of the things I really miss from my childhood was cereal. I loved the routine of Saturday morning cartoons with cereal. When I was older and I did’t have those weekend mornings I switched to eating it at night as a treat. Given I now know what’s in it, it’s certainly a life style I can never go back to.

      It’s funny how utterly inverted our experiences are. I heavily regret the amount of dried, packaged, sugary foodstuffs that I ate. We had so much fruit and veg and dairy available, and instead I opted for jam and cereal and soda, never realizing why I felt weak and lethargic.

        Oh don’t get me wrong. Looking back, I do regret how much cereal I ate. It still doesn’t stop me from missing the ritual. I tried other “healthier” options as an adult, but I decided there wasn’t really a good replacement and that I should just establish better routines as an adult.
