National Cereal Day

I'm going to share something that I bet you didn't know.  Today is National Cereal Day.  I know, I know.  They make a day for everything now.

I used to be really big on cereal.  But not in the usual sense.  I liked to eat cereal dry.  Just like snack food.  Handfuls at a time.  Most often, Corn Pops happened to be my snack of choice.

Can we be honest here?  I'm truly surprised Kellogg's was never sued for false advertising on that one.  There's nothing "corn" about these guys.  They're basically puffy pieces of pure sugar.

When I was a kid, my mom went to write Corn Pops on the grocery list.  She was having a moment of dyslexia and wrote Porn Cops instead.  The name stuck ever since.  To this day, I can't walk down the cereal aisle and pass these boxes without snickering to myself.  Yes, I sometimes have the maturity level of a thirteen year old boy.

These days, my cereal preferences run a little more adult-like.

But I still don't eat it the normal way.  Apparently, I have something against milk and cereal.  Instead, I use it as a topping for the fruit parfait I have every morning for breakfast.

Because, you know, I'm a grown up.  (Porn Cops.  *snicker*)
