I see this differently.

Those of us who were kids in the 1970s had "terrible" cereals like Kaboom, King Vitamin, Quake, Quisp, and things that haven't been cancelled like Sugar Smacks, Frosted Flakes, Fruity Pebbles, Lucky Charms, etc. It accompanied the evaporation of eggs for breakfast along with the destruction of the family and Moms going to work, but I digress.

Nowadays, you can't walk down the aisle without seeing "healthy" things like gluten-free organic etc. being thrust down our throats. Any parent buying Fruit Loops is looked at like a war criminal.

Don't get me wrong...I like the healthier things and miss eggs. And while Kaboom was awesome and actually had 100% of many vitamins etc, it required more chemicals than the Moderna vaccine.

But this new cereal, perhaps, could be an early pendulum swing back to normal. I won't be feeding it to the little DoodleBobs, but we will cheer it on.

And while Kaboom was awesome and actually had 100% of many vitamins etc, it required more chemicals than the Moderna vaccine.

Notice that the vitamin fortified KABOOM (like its competitor King Vitamin) went from 100% plus to 25-30%. That's because the panels went from MDR (Minimum Daily Requirement) to RDA (Recommended Daily Requirement).

If you wanted the vitamin pill in your cereal , but a touch less sugar, Product 19, Buc*Wheats and Total were your big options. Buc*Wheats (Makes you feel like a million bucks) was a superior cereal with nice maple accents. Kaboom (with marshmallows!) was a GREAT cereal for a kid's taste.

Thank you for remembering Quake. He was the greatest of cartoon characters, and certainly a conservative compared to that illegal whiny alien, Quisp.

I still remember eating those once and wondering if Mom knew that they tasted exactly like candy.

Probably got hyper after but its in the fog of 50 years ago.
