Pickles by Brian Crane for February 09, 2012

There ya go, hyper the kid and have him bouncing off the walls.

All organic cereals don’t have corn syrup in themwhich is better health wise.

you think a child that young cares about how healthy something is?!?! Ha!

I didn’t like Lucky Charms because of the marshmellows.

I only liked cereals that had sugar listed as the first ingrediant.

Not really. If you look at the sugar from cane vs. the sugar from fruit, your body processes it differently.

I’m sure she means well and wants to make Nelson happy, but I’d rather buy my kids a small toy or a book rather than feed them unhealthy food.

I liked Sugar Puffs, sort of like Kix but bigger. I liked Sugar Crisp too. I think that is what they were called, puffed wheat with sugar. Now—I bought a box of Raisin Bran—it gave my head a sugar spin and I didn’t even add extra sugar. I am going to write to them.

And I was one of those moms who either cooked oatmeal, or made french toast (from scratch) or a batch of scrambled eggs with toast and juice. They always enjoyed breakfast.

Dr. Toon: If it ends in -ose, it’s a sugar: sucrose. dextrose, levulose, fructose, etc. Like -ol is an alcohol: ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, etc. All of these have different numbers and arrangements of elements in their compound. Plus some contaminants that creep in before, during, or after processing. There are differences.

Capn’ Crunch with CrunchBerries. CrunchBERRIES- it has fruit in it, so it’s good for you

I only want the raisins in Raisin Bran and the cheer in Cheerio’s.

I was raised on cream of wheat and oatmeal, and bacon and eggs, I guess I survived just fine, To much garbage in todays diet,,way to much

I liked cereals that had chocolate as its first ingredient.

@ Calvin Nelson: OMG! I know what I’m getting myself for Valentine’s Day….

Lucky Charms?

That’s cute!

Get a life people it is a comic strip. It makes fun of life. Kids will eat the marshmallows and leave the cereal. IT IS FUNNY. If you have a problem with this please never read the Far Side.

They were Sugar Crisp back in the day; then they changed the name to Super Golden Crisp when sugar got a bad rep. But nothing compared to Calvin’s Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs.

I liked “Maypo” and "Ovaltine drink..

There are quite a few youtube videos of old

cereal commercials featuring Sugar Bear(sounding

like Bing Crosby) and Maypo(I Want MY MAYPO!) from

the 1960’s and 1970’s..Oh..and remember the Kellogs

variety pack of little boxes that had perforations to

open and you just poured milk right in the box?…

When I was a kid we had “Sugar Pops” & “Sugar Smacks” !They don’t call them that any more because it is obvious thatparents don’t like to see the word “sugar” on anything they feed their kids. I still call them by their original name and always will.

To be honest with you, i didn’t even like Lucky Charms. Alpha Bits, Honeycomb and Captain Crunch were my favorites – and nothing with chocolate in it. I wouldn’t eat it.

I remember having shredded wheat a few times when I was a kid, but our normal breakfast on the farm was sausage, eggs and biscuits.
