I'd rather have a bowl of Cocopops

[venta]

As ever, things are never quite how they should be.

Wandering the cereal aisle in Sainsbury's last night, I observed this:



I hurried gleefully down, eager to see what X-rated breakfast goods they had on offer. Tarantino Flakes, maybe, which shake into the bowl in a shower of dismembered body parts and foul language. At the very least I was hoping for glossy, full-frontal nudity on the box.



I feel let down by the world. Nothing more exciting than Special K, things with improbably spelled names suggesting improved health, and frighteningly worthy-looking muesli.

Still, at least I am reassured that my otherwise quite boring bran flakes came from a different section and are therefore suitable for juveniles.

we should only be feeding our kids the stuff which is at least 50% sugar

Dude, you're so out of date!

There's no such thing as sugar anymore, there's just "carbohydrates". All cereals are full of those, so there's nothing particularly evil about Frosties anymore except that they've got a tiger on the front.

The reason grown ups don't eat kids' cereals is because the packets aren't covered in lies about them being healthy reassuring nutritional buzzwords information.
