Cereal Killer
Since I was born in 1970, Krüde had/has been given
the speech by elders that “sugary breakfast cereals will rot your teeth out”.
So I wasn’t allowed to eat those kind of cereals as a kid. And didn’t start
eating sweet cereals until maybe 4 years ago. Ain’t that a weird thang
I recall our parents would often tank up us 1970s kids
with super sugary potables such as Hawaiian
Punch. Or the king of all kid drinks: Kool
Aid. Good stuff. But equally tooth rotting. Add to that chocolate milk
at school lunches. Our teeth were compromised every which way we lived
Lucky
Charms and
Cocoa
Pebbles are my current favorites. I don’t drink coffee. I take dollar
store energy tabs for a morning boost. Buying a coffee at a Starbucks recently
for my gf is the reason I’m writing this blog. I watched patron after patron
order HUGE coffee drinks laden with whipped cream,tons of sugar and half and
half or pure cream. Not sure how much ‘coffee’ is contained in said drinks. But
I know a dessert drink when I see it. All for $7.99.
Face it, most breakfast cereals that are deemed ‘adult’
worthy taste like shit on their own. A tablespoon of sugar is needed to boost
their flavor. Same nutrients as a sugary cereal. Just no cartoon or animal
mascots littering the box. I used to eat normal oatmeal every day. Cook it for
5 minutes. Then let it cool. Give it some sugar and cinnamon. And enjoy. Now,I
just don’t have the time on most days to make oatmeal. I still eat a bowl or
two every month. But eating a tall bowl of Frosted Flakes or Corn
Pops with Cream O Land milk is morning godhead
As for the rotting of the teeth beef my parents had
about sugary cereal…. I DO brush my teeth directly after eating breakfast.
Everyday. All the dental work I’ve had over the past few years stemmed from
older crowns that need to be replaced. No new cavities or tooth decay to bitch
about. If only I had gotten braces for my teeth back then- a different story
for a different blog
Lastly, why do supermarkets put the sugary cereal on sale every week but keep the adult stuff at regular price? Yes,the nice price does lure me in to the store. It is always cereal and frozen dinners on sale all the time. Not the healthiest eating, but with life moving at a breakneck speed these days…. Bon Appètit!
Sugar Bear for President!
