I tried Grape Nuts once. It was like trying to eat a bowl of rocks.

“… but also yes.”

There are some kids on your lawn you should probably yell at.

Give her her bib and pacifier.

Give him credit for having the teeth to be able to withstand grapenuts.

Eew! You mean he actually LIKES that crumbled cardboard?

Mix the ‘charms’ with Grape Nut Flakes and call it faux healthy(er). The milk/cream aspect is another discussion.

At least he’s doing something to keep his blood sugar down.

How can he resist the ‘magically delicious’ little marshmallows??

I actually like Grape-Nuts. Probably because my mother ate it for breakfast almost every day with the cream from the top of the milk bottle, when available) when I was a kid. But I have Grape Nuts with Froot Loops on top!

This strips reminds me of the ironic fact that Euell Gibbons died of natural causes.

I hated sugar cereal when I was a kid. The artificial flavors had a chemical aftertaste. I know, I was a failure as a kid.

My son buys bags of the marshmallows online.

He should ask her who is her favorite Power Ranger.

I love Grape Nuts with banana slices and blueberries. They are also great in homemade ice cream.

They do also make Grape Nut Flakes. Still as good for you but not as hard to eat. One other option for the flakes or the original is it make awesome bran muffins. I like mine with raisins. You can also top the muffins with a brown sugar topping to add sweetness, but the muffins are sweet on their own.
