I see we think alike, funny commercial with Belushi!

[A message]

Hmm, I wonder if phelpsforcaptaincrunch.com is available?

I stand corrected , after looking her up. She’s a New Yawker.

Phelps gets plenty of fiber, plenty of green fiber now.

Frosted Flakes——They’re GRREEAEAT!

I won’t use Aspertame as I know people who get headaches or have stomach problems when they ingest it. Splenda is made from sugar and is better than any of the other sweeteners that contain Aspertame.

Children, here is the message: Sell yourself to the highest bidder.

Sounds more like get the best price you can for your work, to me. Sounds like common sense and the market at work.

I’m gonna by my kids a box this week and send Rebecca a letter telling her to f*** off.

The first thing to recommend parents do to keep their kids healthy is get rid of the TVs and computers. Buy the kids a BB gun and fireworks instead. They are safer for kids health than TV and Xbox.

"I would not consider Frosted Flakes the food of an Olympian," said nutritionist Rebecca Solomon of Mount Sinai Medical Center.
"I would rather see him promoting Fiber One. I would rather see him promoting oatmeal. I would even rather see him promoting Cheerios."

Guess what, Becky-poo... it ain't all about what YOU want.

Yikes! When we were kids we’d eat Shredded Wheat, and Puffed Wheat and Puffed Rice, and Rice Krispies. Then when they came out with Sugar Pops, we ate those too. My kids were into Count Chocula, Cookie Crisp, Cocoa Puffs, anything with chocolate in it. I’ve never liked cereal with fruit or nuts in it.

What amazes me is how many sugary cereals are marketed to adults today. Cracklin Oat Bran, Raisin Bran Crunch, and even Smart Start all have 17+ grams of sugar and 200+ calories per bowl, all before you add milk.

I love Lucky Charms too! Right now we have Frosted Flakes, Cookie Crisp, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Frosted Cheerio’s.

I can remember as a kid my mom buying Corn Flakes or Cheerios and we would put scoops of sugar over the cereal, so much, it was like eating sand.

Who cares, Decathalon winner John Belushi endorsed little chocolate donuts. They were on his training table for years.

I won’t use Aspertame as I know people who get headaches or have stomach problems when they ingest it. Splenda is made from sugar and is better than any of the other sweeteners that contain Aspertame.

Splenda just tastes wrong to me. My new favorite is erythritol, but it tends to work better in cold cereal, yogurt, and ice cream where you don't notice its cooling sensation.

[Teacher317]

A company wants to honor one of the greatest athletes in history... and use his image to improve their business... and they've determined that they can pay him X millions because using the athlete's image will make them X + Y million... and said athlete is happy to help them while collecting a generous salary for the use of his image and a few minutes of modeling for a photographer...

And you basically equate this to prostitution? Once upon a time, this kind of thing was called "advertising". The advertiser was happy, the model was happy, and the consumer was happy to see the famous hero. It's so good that you and Rebecca are here to tell us how horrible they all are for engaging in simple commerce.

I had no problem going from sugar to Splenda. I didn’t see any difference in the taste. The only time I use it is in my coffee and on my cereal. If I bake, I use Splenda’s half and half mixture, and they make a brown sugar for baking too.

Guilty!
