    I mean we have a cereal that’s openly marketed as just a box full of mini chocolate chip cookies

      Everyone knows those cereals are for kids and only as a special treat, not an every day thing.

      If someone wants to have banana Nutella crepes for breakfast once a month I don’t think that’s a big deal. But having toast with Nutella every day (or cookie cereal) is not a normal thing to do.

        Lol, the commercials for said cereal were always literally about everyone saying it was cookies for breakfast, and who doesn’t have the same breakfast every day? If there was a box of cereal, that’s what we were eating until it was gone and then you open the next box of cereal or switch to toast/waffles/pancakes/biscuits/oatmeal until that box is used up, and so on and so forth until it’s time to go back to the grocery store.

        If your parents bought the cookie cereal (and there were apparently enough to keep it on the shelves for years) then you were eating it everyday as a normal thing.

          Lots of parents I knew as a kid didn’t let their kids have this kind of cereal. They didn’t let their kids drink pop all the time either.

        LOL, no, we really don’t.
