Your video, Frosted Flakes Commercial -- Police Malfeasance, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Living in China for a year reaffirmed to me the need for an FDA. The unscrupulous business people here, to cut corners, will put all sorts of dangerous chemicals in processed food to cut corners on cost. It's gotten to the point where everyone questions every item on the shelf, and there is a general feeling of insecurity about the immediate and long term effects of consuming bad food.

Thank god for the FDA. They may be a little corrupt, and I don't doubt that they may over extent, but giving capitalists free rein to put paint thinner in my frosted flakes to make them look "frostier" is not cool.

So THAT'S how Frosted Flakes came to be ...

I like plain old graham crackers crushed up in a bowl with milk over them - but you have to eat them quick before they get soggy. My absolute favorite Junk cerial is Captain Crunch but they are way too much money for the small-skinny box you get (about 3 bowls)!

In reply to this comment by nanrod:
@Sagemind I agree with most of your comments except Frosted Flakes. I like them and plain corn flakes too. And Golden Grahams, not only are they good , so are Graham Crackers.

All the junk cereals are very expensive, it seems like the more sugar is put in them the higher the price. I try to pay no more than around 60 cents per 100 grams but cereals like Lucky Charms are closer to $1.50. My guilty pleasure is catching Fruit Loops on sale.

And is anyone else old enough to remember how corn pops used to be marketed. When they were called Sugar Corn Pops and their marketing jingle went as follows

"Oh the pops are sweeter and the taste is new, They're shot with sugar through and through. Kellogg's Sugar Corn Pops, sugar pops are tops" (Sometime's my trivial memory is a curse). I'd like to see them try that one now. Now they're marketed as nutritious. Ha

I know Doritos have been that way for a while. I bought one of those sampler cereal packs recently (you know, it has trial sizes of Frosted Flakes, Honey Smacks, Fruit Loops, etc) and noticed it was like eating packing foam. Again, no density. So that's what prompted me to write a post.

And yes, while products are sold by weight and not by volume, I'm certainly sure that the boxes weren't made bigger to accommodate the same weight that the original, more denser cereals afforded. So there for the product is lighter, thus saving on shipping. That was more the point I was trying to make.

And since I'm on a rant about food they don't make the same way anymore (and products they don't make anymore altogether), I also want to say I sure do miss Lemon Coolers. They were made by Sunshine Biscuit company and were similar to a lemon Nilla wafer, though thicker, and were coated in a lemony powdered sugar. Those too have gone the way of the Dodo. The closes thing I've found to them are sold in Target stores, called Lemon Straws. Oh well...

This doesn't work on Frosted Flakes.

Not bad, but I think this is late vintage. Not the classic 80s song I remember: "Show em your a tiger! Show em' what you can do! The taste of Tony's Frosted Flakes... brings out the tiger in you!"

During the "grrreat- grrreat- grrreat" bit, I was so hoping they'd insert Tony the Tiger saying it.

10). I hate Frosted Flakes!

9). Corn Pops are a different cereal in Canada, Same name, Same Box, Different Cereal.

. Golden Grahams, are good.

7). Honey Nut Cherios, Good stuff

6). Lucky Charms - Candy in a box

5). Cinnamon Toast Crunch - I'd rather have real cinnamon toast

4). We don't get Cocoa Krispies either although lately (just this year) we've had a NEW variety called Chocolate Rice Krispies which I'm sure is the same thing - my kids hated it, I had to force them to eat it because they made me buy it!

3). I've never seen Fruity Pebbles in Canada.

2). I've never even heard of Peanut Butter Crunch - but we do get "Reese Peanut Butter" cereal

1). Sometimes you can find Count Choculas in the store but rarely and almost never. We do have Neslie Quick Cereal though but it doesn't have marshmellos. And don't have Boo Berry or Frankenberry Cereal

My brother was a big fan of Frosted Flakes, but I never understood the point. I'd just as soon take a bowl of good ol' Corn Flakes and dump a couple tablespoons of sugar on it. We definitely agreed on the awesomeness of Froot Loops, though.

I know what you guys are saying about Cookie Crisp. I don't think my taste buds fully formed until sometime in college (which was a real shame growing up in New Orleans). Having tried them as an adult, I was surprised that I had liked it at all.


Anyone ever tried half & half on your cereal? I know, it sounds messed up, and I wouldn't recommend it daily, but it is a decadent indulgence everyone should try once.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

^Back in my day they were called "Sugar Frosted Flakes" No euphemistic cereal titles needed for my generation.

*humph.

(down vote for loaded, leading, leaning title)


MINK, that comparison is somewhat valid, there were a lot of folks, who depended upon their cheap labor-we in the U.S. have been groomed for the current dilemma of immigration, systematically, in premeditated genius strokes, by the shapers of this clusterfuck. How can we do without illegals, now that they are such a necessity for economy. Larger cities, L.A., Houston, whose city planning did not include an efficient model for expansion with relation to economy, are feeling the pain of continual retrofit and addition of roads to keep pace with influx-(illegals, being the biggest problem, with regard to congestion and crap cars)

We use cars, because the current paradigm of fossil fuel dependence, is forced upon us by those who would control the worlds economy-Free energy is like garlic to a vampire, to these assholes.....but they do want to control that as well.


Guess what??? It is already here, and has been here, for quite some time...one has but to see how hard they crush the most innovative and visionary of the planet. The fellows that tinkered with a carburetor long enough, to get 100 miles to the gallon in their Chrysler Imperial....they disappear, or join the ranks of the insane, because of a patent buy-out, or their untimely demises. They did it to Nikola Tesla, his backer Charles Westinghouse, and the public, they laugh at the very idea, because it is not part of their programming to believe anything other than what the group says, what the spin, disinformation, and propaganda says, and because humans follow each other to the mob pep-rally, cause they are fearful, predictable meatbots-

WE USE CARS, CAUSE THAT IS THE TOOL THAT HAS BEEN GIVEN US.

NOT EVERYONE, IS AS....Privileged TO LIVE WHERE THEY CAN WALK, BUS, or bop-along in their own, idyllic, fantasy bus, to work their politically-correct, Starbucks job, in their fucking "Made by indigenous people, with earth-friendly materials." These same idiots, hold in their own farts, to cut down on their, guilt-ridden contributions to "Wobal Glorming"

Shall we go on, with the CARS SUCK type folks, who, if they had to grow from seed, their own food, eating sprouts and purifying water to drink until the first harvest was available, would most likely, walk into a government rescue camp, before putting shovel to earth, then finding out they don't have the proper university credentials to operate such a complicated device?? Yeah why don't we.

You have inspired this sifter, to shove the pathetic idea, that humans have a goddamn thing to do with the earth's warming up...(CYCLICAL, YOU FUCKING MORON FOLLOWER FUCKS)

....right up the asses, of all who will venture to remove their
own, swollen, heads prior.


One of the best ways to understand the world one is in, is actually be a part of it.......

California could drop off the map tomorrow, and we could all eat grits and bacon, since the Frosted flakes were too soggy, and salty....
