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.

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!

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.

Corn Pops also contain mono- and diglycerides, used to bind saturated fat, and BHT for freshness, which is also used in embalming fluid

Well thats good to know.

First they came for the smokers.

But since I wasn't a smoker...

(How long now until the ads start appearing on TV demonizing the "Sugar Industry"?)

Anyone besides me remember when Kellogg’s Corn Pops were first called Kellogg’s Sugar Pops? Anyone remember Sugar Pops Pete?

SEARS? Really! They partnered with K Mart, and I noticed that ACE Hardware is now selling Craftsman tools.
