Appetizing. No, not really.
Actually for us, Cookie Crisp or any other sweetened cereal was a rare treat. My parents usually bought Cheerios because they were cheapest.
Dad got paid at the end of the month and we'd do a month's worth of shopping. Three carts full. Something like that today would probably get you beaten up by some rage meister in line behind you.
There were always Cheerios left over at the end of the month because we kids were sick of them and never liked them much in the first place.
When I asked my mom why she didn't just buy cereal we liked, her answer was "You'll just eat it all."
Isn't that the idea?
Gotta wonder what Freud would say about all this.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
