When we had a very bad storm here years ago, the Korger store where I often shop, the shelves were all empty of the knockoff brands of food, but not the name-brand ones!
“Froot Loops” are actually all the same flavor; they are just different colors. It’s not the taste, it’s the marketing. My grand-nieces are old enough now that I can educate them in the ways of evil marketers. Though, yes, sometimes store-brand doesn’t taste as good. I’m selective, too!
It’s a cute comic, but c’mon Gil’s mom, (and all you real life moms!) don’t be buying the sugary sweet garbage for Gil, his body type suggests he’s already got a good start on developing diabetes.

Clever parents never buy the expensive brand cereal in the first place. Trained right, kids will think the real Froot Loops taste funny ;).

She should have raised Gil on the “No Frills” brands from the start; especially since hubby is a dud, her income is low and the child is “big boned”.

Get over it, Gil! Be glad you have cereal to eat!
