Cmon man - frosted sugar bombs (later frosted golden bombs) powered my school morning for the subpar school lunch!

Eggs for me still, with a side of another protein with coffee.
Not a carbs person in the AM at all, unless there’s no coffee and I have to resort to a Mt. Dew for my caffeine fix.

I remember those commercials as a kid that said something like “this cereal, along with milk, juice, toast, eggs, meat and vegetables make a nutritious breakfast”.

"Make Kellogg's Frosted Flakes an important part of your nutritious breakfast!" the commercial said. Pretty much every kid in America, including me, replied "Nah, just give me the prize inside and you can keep the orange juice, eggs, and bacon." lol

Considering what the cereal was made of, it was probably healthier for us to eat that prize!

I keep reading that many of today’s young people; meaning those under 35, don’t use dry cereal for breakfast very often. They prefer something they can throw in the microwave, heat & eat. Some don’t want to ‘deal with’ the dirty cereal bowl after eating. Having to wash that bowl is a big bother. That sounds sort of lazy to me, but breakfast should be an individual choice once you’re old enough to do it properly.

I’m allergic to milk so cereal was never a big part of my day. I used to get a box of frosted mini wheats once in a while and just eat them dry.

Breakfast most days is a couple granola bars and coffee. Weekends I make 2-3 eggs and whatever eat is in the fridge. Or, sometimes just coffee.

Right now I’m drinking 2020 Blend from Thrasher Coffee. I ran out of Deplorable Blend.

“Make Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes an important part of your nutritious breakfast!”

I remember that. Same with Pop Tarts.

I had bacon, followed by a side of bacon...

If one looks at the long list of breakfast meals, there is no nutritional of any other common link.

The real thing, which all breakfast meals have in common, is the speed of preparation. All meals, served at breakfast, are really quick to make.
Cereal is the fastest to make, so that made it the leading breakfast meal.

After my daily paper route if in winter mom would warm me back up with oatmeal and raisins.

Nowadays, 2 cups o’ coffee and maybe a brunchy feed around 2pm. Then a truely light supper of homemade soup, or a veggie medley. We dont eat after 8pm.

If I eat early, it’s usually 1 egg, 1 toast, 1 small piece of fruit.
