never once!

in my current less than healthy state i've spent a lot of time in my room watching tv, and for whatever reason, i've been on the cartoon network for a good part of today. but while watching the CN I noticed something. almost every single children's cereal commercial has cartoon children (or real children) who eat the cereal and magical things start happening. either cereal magically starts exploding from the ground, sky, or occasionally a ship, (captain'd by the least trustworthy sailor cap'n crunch although, you can't rip on his service record.) and form a magical rollercoaster or adventure made of cereal. first of all, NEVER has this happened to me. secondly, even if it did, i don't think i would trust a roller coaster made of cereal.

we never got name brand cereal as a kid. we always got the gigantic malt-o-meal bag. you know the one's like 20 pounds of cereal for a total of 5.99. yeah you know the ones. the ones that were always similarly named to the real cereal. things like "fruity dino-bytes" or, "lucky treasures" but what got me about these cereals was that they always said on them "compare to__________ (insert real cereal name here)" if i'm buying that much cereal for that little money, i'm not gonna go out and buy a box of fruity pebbles. although i can see myself doing that actually. "you know what, these fruity dinobytes are very similar to fruity pebbles. i'm glad i bought them both." no, NO ONE's gonna do that!
