	♥ 1:19pm spodiodi: super sugar crisp or gtfo
	♥ 1:19pm StringOFperils: Reliving the golden age when Frosted Flakes were still called Sugar Frosted Flakes...and they were. Like little cinnabons of financial servitude to the dental industry. Sometimes I even added some milk, just for laughs.
	1:19pm Juke Joint Jonny: Norman Mailer always struck me as the muesli type. Probably the start of the trouble with Frankenberry.
	♥ 1:19pm spodiodi: SOp sweet to see you

	1:28pm davefromtoronto: never loved the marshmallow based sugar cereals. too much filler.
	♥ 1:30pm DjLorraine: Don't judge me...but i had Clackers twice and i enjoyed them. Graham cracker circles that made a cog. I think the commercial irritated the folks that watched tv.
	1:30pm Juke Joint Jonny: Okay, we can all go home. This Moon Mullican record is the best record of all time. No reason to look further.
	1:33pm Rex: All teens want more Moon!

	1:27pm davefromtoronto: we weren't allowed sugar cereal in our house when i was a kid. had to go to my friends for a fix.
	1:28pm The Butterman: I gotta get me honeycomb cereal. That shit was good. I’m sure it, like Honeysmacks, is overflowing with REAL honey.
	1:28pm davefromtoronto: never loved the marshmallow based sugar cereals. too much filler.
	♥ 1:30pm DjLorraine: Don't judge me...but i had Clackers twice and i enjoyed them. Graham cracker circles that made a cog. I think the commercial irritated the folks that watched tv.
