2. A&W
A large part of my teen years was “cruzin the loop” and hanging out at the A&W. Practically every Saturday there was an impromptu car show featuring the nicest rides in the valley.

I remember their old name and marketing, but they are not politically correct enough to survive in this era.

Times like this, I feel like creating a politically incorrect food brand. Resurrect old favourites that are pushed aside by the Fun Police (”Fun Suckers”, as PJ O'Rourke calls them).

I worked at an A&W in high school...$1.15 an hour. The guy that owned the franchise was a slave driving skinflint.

I still miss Burger Chef.
But seriously...walking through a Sears is a bit jarring - it’s so empty and quiet. I felt like a deer on the first day of gun season as the heads of ever staffer snapped around as they spotted a live customer.

People need to think outside the box. All breakfast foods are revolting. I never ate breakfast until I realized I could eat other things. Eat sandwich or soup or salad for breakfast. On rare occasions I have some pancakes or an omlet for um dinner.

I miss Kellogs OKs, Sugar jets, Puffa Puffa Rice, and my personal favorite, Calvin and Hobbes’ cereal Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs!

The founder/owner of Marion’s Piazza (Dayton OH pizza institution and yes it’s ‘piazza’) used to visit each store to personally collect the coins from the penny gumball machines. Bartenders were instructed to leave at least an inch of foam head on a pitcher i.e. one inch less liquid.

Alas, Corn Pops never got a cool mascot like Tony the Tiger or Sugar Bear or Captain Crunch.
I liked the cereal (it was certainly tastier than Kix), but they were sort of like a school whose team mascot was some amorphous blob, rather than anything recognizable: hard to take to heart and love.

Breakfast foods revolting? The best meal of the day. So many choices - cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage....

You just miss the sugar. I would suggest a good donut place. Much tastier.

Corn Pops also contain mono- and diglycerides, used to bind saturated fat, and BHT for freshness, which is also used in embalming fluidWell thats good to know.

I remember those, crunch golden nuggets of synthetic, reconstituted stuff. A little bland without a good showering of sugar, though.

Most people eat cereals. And they are yucky.
To: Daralundy
cereal aisles always seem to expand like in “The Matrix” and its ‘we need lots of guns’ scene.
