Ghosts of Childhood Cereals Past
Oct. 25th, 2004 12:00 amSo Mike and I went to Superfresh to buy some ingredients for a quiche, when my eyes wandered to a stack of cereals... and I saw... something. I said, "Mike, do you see what I see? Please tell me I'm not hallucinating. Is that.. are those... what I think they are...?" The effect was like that pull-back-while-zoom-in technique used in Jaws and FOTR, whooooom.
They were boxes... and boxes... of Frankenberry and Boo Berry. Let me repeat that. Frankenberry. And Boo Berry.
Neither of have had Frankenberry in the past ten years, but my God, we hadn't even SEEN a box of Boo Berry in, like, fifteen. Sweet, sweet Jebus. Of course had to buy it. And taste it. Now... does anybody remember these cereals?
Try to imagine this, if you can. Frankenberry is like a cereal made ENTIRELY OUT OF CRUNCHBERRIES. WITH MARSHMELLOWS. Ohhhhhhh my Gohhhhohohhhddd. My heart is still pounding. This shit is worse than speed laced with crack. And God help me, Michelle, my co-star, put an idea in my head. "Hey, you know what'd be really good? If you made rice krispy treats with this stuff."
With that concoction... we could rule the world. Or at the very least destroy it. Either way, we'll be hyper.
Oh, and the quiche rocked too, by the way. (Liked how I kinda brought it full circle right there, eh?)
