Cereal Collective & Vegetable Vengeance

You know I find it interesting, slightly frightening and disturbing, and truthfully a little awesome that I could virtually post every day for probably months if not a whole year about cereal and never run out of unique individual cereals that I remember, have tried, or are in some way obscure and not well known. I think that says something about the cereal industry.. I know it says something about the asinine shit on my mind on a regular basis..

Maybe I'm not a deep introspective thinker all the time, sometimes I like to just kick back, relax, and to think about sugar coated chunks of rice. Goddamn though, that is kind of a deep thing to think about when you think about it. There's a certain profoundness to my cerebral cereal pondering, perhaps one day I'll discover some positive bit of noteworthiness to my seemingly aimless train of thought.. It might run a bit off track but most greats of the world were a bit off as well! Maybe my cereal obsession means I'm a genius! ...Or I'm just really fucking simple..

General Mills Crazy Cow Strawberry:

During the 1970s Crazy Cow was introduced, it was a rare entry into the even more elusive Strawberry flavour for cereals - I've stated in the past that virtually the only Strawberry flavoured cereal like this was Frankenberry, honestly Strawberry flavoured cereals are super rare which sucks because so often they're super delicious.

In fact, this cereal was so delicious I firmly believe that it had the potential to cure cancer. It's the closest I think that humanity has ever come to it. Crazy Cow was incredibly sweet but in a good way and was heavy fucking strong flavour-wise.. That flavour was great because it transferred into the milk which became Strawberry Milk or Chocolate Milk based off what version of Crazy Cow you were eating. Myself, I preferred the Strawberry but as I said there was also Chocolate.

Preferring Strawberry aside, the Chocolate wasn't bad.. It just wasn't as good or unique as the Strawberry, the Strawberry was amazing. It's interesting too because the cereal wasn't just normal cereal, each individual puff was covered in it's own respective coat of either Chocolate or Strawberry powder which dissolved in your milk and turned it big time Chocolate or Strawberry.. No simple mixing by association, this was like powdered goddamn drink-mix armed into the cereal itself - That's EPIC.

You've just gotta love a cereal that's designed not only to taste awesomely but also to provide you with a delicious milky beverage after your finished the cereal itself, it's like you put Nesquik drink mix into your cereal itself. Amazing.

Kellogg's Graham Cracko's:

Not only does the name sound like some sort of wacky Crack Cocaine but it's such a weird fucking shape, look at it. What the hell sort of cereal is shaped like this? Have you ever seen one? I haven't.. Well.. Not until this one at least.. Durh..

First of all GOD DAMN THAT OLD MAN AND HIS FUCKING MILK PUN! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! ..And secondly, can you not smell, taste, and feel the pure cheese coming out of this commercial? Fucking christ, what the hell?

I also want to state for the record that if George showed up and just waltzed all comfortable into my house like that there'd be a milk man with a fucking boomerang wedged in his skull dead at my doorstep. Creepy milk-toting cereal-pushing bastards like a fucking Drug Lord, you hear how casually Graham Cracko's comes off his tongue? He's pushing it because he knows you'll fall prey to his poisons lure. Sick fuck.

Graham Cracko's were like Graham Crackers made for milk according to the commercial because they fucking were Graham Crackers made for milk.. Though I'm not exactly sure what constitutes 'made for milk' when it comes to Graham Crackers.. What's going to stop me from taking some normal Graham Crackers and putting them in milk and eating them like cereal? There wasn't much of a difference here with this cereal, it's a 1970s cereal so it's pretty simple and to the point; it's fucking Graham Crackers. Sit down, shut up, and eat them to figure out whether Kellogg's and their creepy cultist faction actually added Crack Cocaine or any psychotropics into the cereal - Come to think of it, wait.. Pass me a fucking bowl right goddamn now.. Better be some good psychotropics..


Kellogg's Strawberry Squares:

Back before Frosted Mini-Wheats of the allegedly same flavour, back before peoples memories were besmirched by these, and back when cereal was truly and often amazingly epic was the years of the 1980s, 1984 specifically. - You may recall an earlier review I did featuring Hidden Treasures Cereal - Back in the day cereals that were not covered but filled with this strange jelly-like substance inside the individual chunks were not entirely uncommon though fairly rare.. Kellogg's Strawberry Squares is one of those cereals and comparing it to Frosted Mini-Wheats of any flavour is fucking blasphemy.

These were wheat squares simply filled with a jam/jelly-like filling and in this case it was Strawberry although there was also an Apple Cinnamon variation.

And the interesting thing was neither of these cereals were bad and in fact they were really good, I mean really really good.

Although the Apple Cinnamon was good, you know already with my tastes and statements thus far that the Strawberry is my favourite and in my opinion the superior. The Strawberry was amazing, AMAZING!! When you bit into the cereal itself and that textural crunch and flakiness of the normal mundane wheat cereal mixed and met the sweet, saliva producing, and smooth Strawberry jelly/jam it just HIT YOU HARD - BLAMMO! This shit was unreal.

You know what's sad is it was done away with and now Kellogg's seems to feel that an acceptable replacement for it is Frosted Mini-Wheats - Bullshit, no. It isn't an acceptable replacement, not any kind of replacement..

Today there are Frosted Mini Wheats with a Touch of Fruit but they're not the same thing.. They look a lot alike and sound a lot alike but..

Trust me, these aren't the same.. You can tell Kellogg's wants them to be but they're not and I suggest if you want to make those sales back up? Just re-release the damned Strawberry Squares ya feckin' artards!


Dinner:

A rather unique dish for dinner tonight for James, this one is Yaki yasai (Roasted Vegetables) and obviously as you can clearly tell came out very pretty, colours out the yin-yang and a perfectly fried egg sunny-side up to boot - We've been unhappy lately, it was an attempt to bring spirits up because sunny-side up is cheerful, right? Perhaps it's got a little egg voodoo.

Sides of course included an Anpan (Sweet Roll) which was Peanut Butter Pumpkin and a baked potato with a slight buttering - The dish was well received and indeed seemed to lift spirits thankfully.

I myself am quite happy with how it turned out appearance-wise - Visually it's very appealing and quite perfect.
