Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for April 16, 2011
Transcript:
Alice: Look at this stuff! Whatever happened to the Blammo cereal I knew and loved? They took out most of the sugar, all of the color, and replaced the marshmallows with raisin! Why did they mess with perfection? Mom: Because they found that Blammo cereal turns your innards neon orange. Alice: In many cultures, neon orange innards are considered stylish.

I think I’d rather eat possum innards than Blammo, no matter what the ingredients.

Yeah, nothing like possum innards, hog jowls, turnip greens with laud drippen’s, um um. None of that store-brought. Gotta keep it local, keep it green.

I wonder if Blammo is made by Post. They ruined all their previously good cereals by going whole grain across the board. AlphaBits used to be an occasional treat – now they taste terrible. And they’re still loaded with sugar, so they can’t be considered nutritious or suitable for regular consumption. They taste bad, AND they’re bad for you!

Raisins are loaded with sugar. There’s probably more sugar in the raisins than was in the marshmallows.
