Why is it that whenever you buy a variety pack of those little boxes of cereals, you only get ONE Cocoa Krispies? Oh sure, you need TWO Corn Pops and TWO Apple Jacks, but no one in the world needs more tha ONE Cocoa Krispies.
I call for equal representation of Cocoa Krispies among the cereals. Anything less is bigoted and unjust!

I love how Cocoa Krispies turn regular milk into chocolate milk! Let's see Corn Pops pull that off.

Hey! I like Corn Pops. And who buys those little boxes anyway? They aren't even one seving, they are useless.

As the one who inadvertantly caused all the wisdom tooth horror stories to surface recently (and, coincidentally, the week I got my first one pulled, thanks a lot btw), I'm surprised by this push for a more sugary cereal. Posts: 5264 | Registered: Jul 2002

Hater? I was the one simply complaining about others bashing my cereal, it seems like I am the opposite. I didn't say Cocoa Krispies were bad, I like them too.

One? ONE?! Real Men(tm) get all four dug out of the bone at one time, and they're conscious when it happens!

I'd keep them all if I could. I've grown rather attached to them over the years. Unfortunately, one grew in a little funny and had some nooks and crannies around it that constantly got infected.
The rest ones I want to keep forever, though. I want to be sitting on a porch swing whittling wood when I'm 90 and still be able to use them to crack walnuts.
I don't really like walnuts, I just want to be able to say, 'them's my walnut-crackin' teeths'.

Its like in the chocolate sales drive every year at my middle school we would well, sell chocolate. It was Lady Lee brand chocolate bars, and there were like 20 nasty peanut bars, 5 mint, 5 milk, 5 almond, etc.
Here's the thing- the chocolate with mint bars sold in ONE DAY, and the nasty peanut butter lingered on for days and days- weeks even, you couldn't give them away. Why no-one at Lady Lee had asked any 12 year old what sold best in those boxes is a mystery to me- they could have made alot of money if they had asked.
And as a further aside- I can't believe my school was so irresponsible as to encourage us to sell eachother 40 bars of chocolate each, ever year. The majority of parents ended up having to pay for the box, that's the way it always goes down. Actually, iirc, there was detention waiting for those who didn't sell their share of chocolate. That's just sick.

Boy, I sure hope you don't "rc". If that happened to a (theoretical) child of mine you'd see a lawsuit so fast your head would spin. And for that matter, I'd demand my child not participate in the selling just out of protest for making it "mandatory".
That said, we'd sell chocolate every year for band and Spanish club. We sold the thick chocolate bars with almonds. ("World's Finest" I think it was called and usually had a Pizza Hut coupon on the label.) Unfotunately I probably ate one for every one I sold.

Cocoa Krispies are unbelievable as a topping for Hot Fudge Sundae. Seriously, try it. Put the crispies between the ice cream and the hot fudge.

There was a book that had a similar setting, I think it was called the Chocolate War.

This happened in RL? I thought this kind of thing only happened to Buffy!

Better than where I went to school. In our chocolate sales drive, we had to sell each other liquor and fireworks. Later, they expanded the sale to include live bait.

Oh my gosh! I haven't done this in probably well over a decade. Thanks for the reminder.

Word. You couldn't exist as a student of the arts in my high school unless you could eat your way through a box of candy and then convince your parents to buy it. Not that I ever did that.

Cocoa Krispies are a great cereal, but they do not compare to the champions:
-Cinnamon Toast Crunch -Quaker Oat Squares -Cinnamon Life
However, I am steadily growing to hate corn pops. There's a half eaten box that's been sitting on top of my fridge since we moved into this apartment. I'm afraid to disturb it.
