Why must they ruin my childhood?

In a sentimental moment on Sunday I remembered one of my favorite things about my childhood….Breakfast. Yes, the sugary, chocolaty cereal with toast and bacon….oh, such awesome bacon.   So, I decided to pick up one of my favorites from way back then (yeah, I know I’m still “young” according to many people here, but screw you, I’ll have my ‘Good Old Days’ moment anyway) I walked into the cereal section at our local grocery store….I see some that I recognize, but tons I have no clue about…kids cereal with added fiber? Splenda? No sugar added? WTF is this crap?!?!?

After about 5 min of searching I find my old friend Cookie Crisp….but where is the Cookie Crisp Dog? You know the one, dressed like a burglar, striped jacket, mask…..nope, he has been replaced with a retarded looking attempt to draw a blue Wile E. Coyote….grrr, fine screw it, if they think the Cookie Crisp Dog was offensive or a bad role model, fine….whatever.   
So this morning, I grab my favorite breakfast (less the bacon, because I didn’t have time to cook it. Pour the cereal, pour the milk, let it soak for a few seconds….and taste…..WTF?!?!? it’s nothing like I remember! I start going over the box…and yes, they changed it….it’s now 100% whole grain.   Ruined!! Completely Ruined!!! They took my sugary globs of fake cookie dough and replaced them with whole grain globs of health food! In that one bite, my entire childhood memory of breakfast came crashing to the ground because of some stupid health food craze…stupid hippies.

Speaking of the "Cookie Crisp Dog". He was added later. Originally it was just the "Cookie Crook". They also changed "Sugar Smacks" name completely and dumped the Hawaiian Punch guy. For that matter they dumped Mayor McCheese, The Hamburglar, Grimace, and that retarded bird added later at McDonald's.

luckily our McD's are not owned by McD's they are privately held, so we still get the supersize, the 20pc mcnugget meal and all the greasy, not good for us, goodness....but I see the trends, and it worries me.
