As a kid, I could smell Super Sugar Crisp in my pee after I ate it- not sure what was in it that made that happen? Probably not some weird chemical!

Mom would not go sweeter than Cheerios, powdered milk for a while, then upgraded to skim milk.
Dad could be persuaded, especially if we had my sister work on him. We were in tall crunchberries if we got him alone. Mom, probably be easier to stop the tide from coming in than talk her into anything. She would let you talk, and paid attention to your pitch. One time I thought I talked her into getting a swimming pool. Nope. Mom decided that before we went to YMCA to learn to swim as guppies

Holey money was that a flashback! Sugar Bear had the "Der Bingle" voice down.
I liked Sugar Crisp but was a sucker for Trix, Cocoa Crispies and Captain Crunch with Crunchberries.

For the non sweetened I liked the Nabisco Shredded Wheat Biscuits. Drench with milk and sprinkled with a shyte ton of sugar.

Still the same going on these days. There was a breakfast cereal with muscle bound athletes on the cover. I thought if I buy the product I too can look like that. OMG they were good so I read the ingredients. It was mainly sugar

While mom was shopping the rest of the aisles, I would be in the cereal aisle trying to decide .... Cap't Crunch, Cocoa Crispies, Trix, Honeycombs .... all sugar delivery "healthy" stuff for sure ![]() What determined my pick each week? Whichever cereal had the best "freebie" inside ... decisions, decisions, decisions .... and "kiddie marketing" at it's worst.... but it worked ![]() |

I still have some of those records that you would cut from the back of a cereal box. The ones I have are "The Archie's" and show the cartoon characters on them, and I have one I distinctly remember was from a Honeycomb box that shows an old haunted mansion on it and is called "Sounds of the Unknown".

I got more of a Dean Martin vibe, but I see what you mean about the Bingster.

Cheerios and sliced banana when they were in season and affordable.

... and the completely corrupt American Heart Association (follow the money trail) puts the "Heart Healthy" label on this kind of industrial poison. Save Grandpa by eating industrial seed oils and sugars but don't eat meat, eggs or other species appropriate food!

Counterclockwise?

I'd like to say things were different back then because people didn't know better, but people still eat stuff like this.
That jingle will be in my head all day now! Fond memories of it.

I ate all that crap as a kid too. Captain Crunch was my favorite (and my dentist loved that I ate it). The food industry makes the tobacco industry look like a bunch of choir boys when it comes to addiction-based products. One day in the not too distant future, the food industry will be brought to justice
