They're losing the "breakfast wars" so they are starting to promote the "lunch carbage".

Y'know, I've always gagged at the thought of eating wet soggy cereal. Patoowey. Yuk. How can anyone eat that! Cereal flakes should be dry and crispy.

I also think milk is yuk. Milk is for infants, and humans as adults not only drink milk, but milk from other animals! I'm as turned off at the thought of drinking milk from a cow as most other adults would be about drinking milk from, let's say, a cat, dog, pig, rat, ...... get the image?

And now they're selling that gross combination in public, instead of confining it to the privacy of one's kitchen in the morning.

Blech! Remind me to stay away from people wearing pajama tops in public!

Well years ago I said "bottled water what a stupid idea". I am even buying it now so who knows what takes off and what doesn't.
Yup i can see a bunch of kids going there and mixing up the cereal.

AngieK-- yup. A lot of "stupid" ideas seem to catch on. Who would have thought people would stand in line for a half hour for the "privelege" of paying $5 for a cup of coffee?

For that much $ those better be some big scoops of cereal. I admit, I miss cereal , but I never ate severl kinds mixed together with candies and milk flavoring crystals (sound like quick to me). I don't think that concoction would be very good. I bet college kids think it's hip though.

Wow...as if most of America isn't eating their body weight in sugar each year already, now someone thinks they can get them to stand in line and pay premium $$ for it, too? Hmmm...just might work! Now the time-crunched sugar junkies of America can get their "fix" at the train station on the way to work!

What a dumb idea. The only cereal I even have a craving for anymore, is All Bran, LOL . Oh, and $4 for 2 scoops cereal, 1 topping and milk??? INSANE!

I'll stick with my LC Blue Bunny yogurt w/walnuts or eggs and bacon if I want a breakfast food...


Silly Wabbit....

I think its a great idea! A couple of years ago, I created my "own" cereal on a website, but when it came time to pay, it was something like $7 plus shipping...lol. Needless to say I never put in my shipping or credit card info. If I didn't eat low carb, I'd go there...and there is no doubt my children would love it...lol. I think these guys are pretty creative

(BTW...ditto on the bottled water...lol. I can remember when I moved to California years ago saying "where I come from, we drink water that comes from a well and its free". Little did I know.....)
