Every time I do my monthly grocery run and walk down the cereal aisle I am reminded of what was available when I was a kid. The only “kids’ Cereal” I remember were Maypo, Sugar Smacks, Frosted Flakes, Wheaties, Cheerios and Quaker Puffed Wheat, or Quaker Puffed Rice. I usually had Wheaties, Shredded Wheat or Quaker Puffed Wheat (endorsed by Sergeant Preston of the Mounties!).
Now the cereal aisle is the length of the store and packed with brightly colored boxes displaying well known cartoon characters – with the highest sugar content cereals low enough to be within easy reach of the spoiled brats who rule their home.

When I was a kid, cereal boxes had toys in them! They were always at the bottom so you doubled your cereal consumption to get to that toy as soon as possible.
The horror. How did we survive?
