Just Bunches

I can still remember sitting around the breakfast table talking with my sisters and dreaming about how cool it would be if Lucky Charms made a cereal that had JUST marshmallows. Imagine it! You stumble out of your bedroom, getting ready for school, grab a box of cereal and pour yourself a big heaping pile of nothing but hard, sugary marshmallows! Wow. There was even a few times we'd eat all the nasty 'Os' out of the bowl first, leaving nothing but marshmallows floating in the milk. It was the closest we could get.

But deep inside, we knew it would never happen. There was no way General Mills, with all their marketing genius, could slide that past America's mothers. Heck, it was a pretty easy-going mother that would spring for the occasional box of Cookie Crisp. The very IDEA that they were feeding their children a bowl full of chocolate chip cookies was too much for most moms.

Well, times have changed - but my love for cold cereal has not. However, my pallet has developed to a more sophisticated level - I eat mostly Honey Bunches of Oats (or, as I like to call them, H.B.O.'s). Anyone that has ever tried them knows how awesome they are. And being basically a 30-year old kid, I'll admit that there have been times, while eating a bowl of H.B.O.'s, I've dreamed about how cool it would be if they made a cereal made up of just the "Bunches" that make up H.B.O.'s.

Well, they've done it. I was at Hy-Vee the other day and saw that they have now come out with "Just Bunches" cereal. It's made up of all the huge bunches that I dig for at the bottom of the box. Awesome. I bought a box and it is truly amazing stuff. Instantly on my top-5 list of favorite cereals.

So for any little kids reading this blog that have ever dreamed of a cereal called, "Just Marshmallows," there is hope.
