Henry Hill could have gotten a job in the Trump Administration, he loved committing crimes, just like everyone Trump hires.

Oh, is it late 80's/early 90's cereal time?  Two cereals in one, WOW! This was around the time when Nintendo anything blew my little-kid brain.  "Sweetened Chex with marshmallows" was pretty drat tasty. And of course it was Ninja Turtles.  This was one of those one-off cereals that never survived the couple years it was on shelves in the 90's. It wasn't that great but damned if I didn't beg my parents to get me a box one day. I remember most of the sprinkles would be left in the bottom of the bowl.  Imagine Cap'n Crunch that doesn't cut your mouth and also some of them have fruit filling. This stuff was awesome and it's a crime that it didn't last more than a couple years. The closest you can get now is Kellogg's Krave, which is all-chocolate.  If you've never tried this, it's not exactly like Rice Krispies Treats. It's more like if someone tried to make Rice Krispies Treats but didn't use any butter and just enough marshmallow to get a few bite-sized clumps to stick together. I loved this horribly unhealthy garbage.  I remember this cereal mostly because of memories attached to it. One of my neighborhood friends had a box and shared some with me one day after school, which is probably where my unhealthy sugary cereal addiction started. Then we played Mike Tyson's Punch-Out on his parents' huge rear-projection TV, and then I asked my parents for an NES for my birthday. Thanks, Paul! Also, the commercial had the Batman theme blaring as a spoon slammed into an overfilled bowl and sent cereal pieces flying everywhere. To a 6-year-old, that's pretty amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnjTmpWMTrA ...I ended up being a pretty fat kid. Please do not buy your kids sugary cereal for breakfast.

I remember it tasting strongly of artificial vanilla, like C-3pO’s and a bunch of other tie in cereals of the 80s. Kind of like those funnel cake fries all the food trucks were hawking a few years ago.

I loved sugar cereal as a kid, but we hardly ever got it and when we did it was always Popeye Sweet Crunch. I loved that poo poo, and the shape was way less mouth-slicing than the Cap’n. I hate most sugary cereals now though. A bite or two, sure, but then my tongue starts wanting to die.

The only cereals I could count on being available in my house at any time were, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, and Cheerios, AKA the garbage no kid wants.

Those plus Shreddies, and Shredded Wheat. We'd be lucky to get Life.

I know it is still around (isn’t it?) but Count Chocula was massively underrated. Cocoa Puffs were/are dog poo poo compared to Chocula. Cocoa Krispies are the best between them and Cocoa Pebbles.

Yeah, it was usually those three in the house at any given time. The sweetest cereals I was allowed to get as a kid were Berry Berry Kix and Frosted Mini-Wheats. I really only started eating lots of sugary crap when I was a little older and visiting my dad every other weekend; he let me get whatever junk food I wanted. dialhforhero posted:I know it is still around (isn’t it?) but Count Chocula was massively underrated.

The latter two usually only appear around Halloween. I loved Cocoa Pebbles but they got soggy so goddamn fast.

Tons of unreleased curios if you love the stuff. None of it remotely good, but if you're into 90's style and attitude it's a good trip in time. Just be prepared to fire up your VM.

I ate like 3 bowls of this one morning and then my aunt came to pick me up to go swimming. I ended up puking the minute she pulled into the driveway, all over the floormats of her red sports car. I've always felt bad for that. That cat had those cool flip up headlights and had a loving LCD display for the speedometer that looked like a curve composed of chunky 80s squares and might have even had auto-locking seatbelts. That car deserved better than my puke .

Pop-up headlights fall into the same category as that Douglas Adams bit about humans thinking digital watches were pretty nifty. I dunno if car alarms were old hat in America by the 90's, but here in NZ we thought Grandad's brand new 92 Corolla was pretty swanky because it had an alarm. It was known as 'the pop-pop car' because of the lock/unlock chirp it made.

It was known as 'the pop-pop car' because of the lock/unlock chirp it made. I've been selling some old car magazines on ebay, and flicking through them to check their condition I noticed that there's suddenly an explosion in ads for car alarms in about 1992-ish. Late 80s, nothing. Then suddenly there are four or five ads in every issue all through the mid-90s. Then it dropped off again. Handbrake/steering wheel locks too.

My mum refused to buy sugary cereals, we were a sad cornflakes and raisin bran household  I remember once I was staying at a friend's and his mum put a big spoonful of sugar in my cereal like it was nbd and my eyes were never so wide and when im senile enough to forget my own name I'll still remember that amazing sugary morning in detail...
