I heard cats can’t taste sweet foods due to being full carnivores and thus lacking the taste buds necessary. Maybe that’s the reason Hobbes hates it so much?
Wait a minute…isn’t chocolate toxic to cats? And aren’t most mammals lactose-intolerant? Calvin, are you TRYING to make your friend sick?
Did it not occur to Calvin to simply dump the contents of the box out in the yard where birds and other wild animals can eat it (if they’re that foolhardy!)?
Heh, it’s amusing how Calvin talks normally as he’s shaking in the last panel, compared to in this later strip…https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1995/06/29

I once had the shakes years ago from drinking a Rock Star or a Monster. Never again after the shakes wore down and I was wearing down.

And the eight essential vitamins are fructose, sugar, brown sugar, refined sugar, carol syrup, maple syrup and sweet corn flakes.

Calvin needs sugar as much as the Manson Family needs a set of steak knives. Both are dangerous.

If Hobbes has “only” had two bowls, how many has Calvin had?

Nothing good can come from Calvin getting on a sugar high.

“fortified”? Is that the cereal version of bread’s “enriched”?

I find grape nuts is the only cereal that doesn’t taste like candy.

Ick. If it’s like eating Milk Duds, does that mean the cereal is chewy? Yuck. I like my cold cereals crunchy.

Checking the labels, I’ve seen breakfast cereal as high as 60% sugar. Some granola cereals are around 40% sugar.
