The various varieties of cereal are placed on the store shelves pretty much in order of sugar content. The sweetest are down low where the kids can grab them and badger the parent into their choice.
$40.00 for ten 8-packs of Hot dogs as simply a vehicle for the $3.50 bottle of catsup it takes to decorate all of them? Doesn’t sound like much of a profit margin…

I was had at a cereal with a squid mascot. What real-life cereal has a squid mascot?

It is fun to learn to read ingredients lists and find how many differently named sources of sugar exit in cereal.

I am especially fond of the brands Alice disdains. Good product placement.

Have you priced ‘healthy’ cereal…it’s enough to give you a heart attack.

I always regret buying flavored versions of standby cereals (O’s, Chex, etc) as the flavor is always amped up to eleven.

Hmm, I wonder: do they have Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs in Alice’s universe?

Cap’n Crunch. If he ain’t on the box, then I ain’t gonna eat it.

I think she is on to something! I’ll bet she’d like Calvin’s favorite cereal: Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs!

I only eat hot-dogs for the crispy onions on it. I always ask for extra onions…

This is precisely the reverse of the way my parents chose our cereal. If the box wasn’t dull and boring, they wouldn’t consider it worthy.

Alice’s little lecture on Cereal Choice is entertaining, but not nutritious….
