Adultifying Childhood Foods

avatar

I sometimes buy things at the grocery store for the nostalgia of eating it as a kid. Some things haven't changed a lot, like cereal. Honey Nut Cheerios, Fruit Loops, Captain Crunch, Cocoa Puffs, etc., have more or less stayed the same compared to what I remember having as a kid growing up in the 80s.

Even back then, some of the cereal was terrible, and not in a "yeah, this is bad for you but it tastes so good" way, but in a "the picture on the box makes this look way better than it tastes" way. Does anybody remember Cookie Crisp?

The box made it look so delicious. Yet, when you pour a bowl and take a bite, it's puffed corn with some small chocolateish chips that leave you disapponted even after a whole bowl full of it. And so, as an adult, I now look for opportunities to make up for these disappointments and "right the wrongs."

Trader Joe's has mini chocolate chip cookies in a big tub, and they're halfway decent considering they're not homemade. So what did I do? I made what Cookie Crisp should've been!

Take that, General Mills! I adultified your horrible kids' cereal and made it the way it should've been from the start!

And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go thoroughly enjoy this.

Have you read the ingredients list on children's cereal?
What about that ingredients list on cookies?

I did, and what i found was that in most children's cereals that sugar was the first ingredient.
Opposite of this, cookies the first ingredient was flour.

Take of this what you will, but that bowl just just had, is probably better for you than the cereal.

Looks good to me. You definetly put them to shame. We could only afford cornflakes growing up most times which they were rather disappointing to say the least.

I hear ya. We were fortunate enough to get Honey Nut Cheerios and Frosted Shredded Wheat. I think fancier cereal was a treat later when I was a teenager.

Haha yeah, not healthy at all, but I don't do it regularly. I think I've done it maybe 3 or 4 times in my life.
