Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for February 07, 2025

My go-to cereal since I was 8, Cocoa Krispies, changed their formulation a couple years ago and is no longer the cereal I loved for decades… sob.

Can any of us really claim to be anything more?

“Grain bin sweepings” made me chuckle. Thanks Amanda!

How about swirling them in ice cream? Not just for breakfast anymore.

“Sponsored by Chocolate” is something most of us can support.

I went to my chocolate store. Bought 9 bars for $110. Best chocolate on the Planet.

And that has been young Amanda’s glowing report on chocolate Doodley Doos! Seriously, it sounds like chocolate covered poo

I didn’t like sugar cereals when I was a kid. They had a chemical taste. Besides, my mom always had brown sugar in the cupboard.

But can they compete with Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs™?

Yay! Another product by the makers of “Grain Bin Sweepings”!

“Doodly doos” unlocked a long-hidden memory of “Zoobilee Zoo”. It was a short-lived children’s program from the ’80s. :)

Purina used to have a people chow breakfast cereal. Chex and Cookie Crisp were owned by Ralston Purina.

I was “Cuckoo” for Cocoa Puffs as well. They were right up there with Cocoa Krispies. The chocolate milk was just a nice bonus :-))
