Stupid little things that bug you

Actually you are thinking of Sugar Smacks maybe …

“Variety pack

In 1960 the variety pack was six individual sized packs. They were two packs of Cornflakes and four others from Rice Krispies, Special K, Frosties, Sugar Ricicles, Sugar Smacks and 30% Bran Flakes.

Sugar Smacks

These were a sweetened puffed wheat breakfast cereal similar to Quaker Sugar Puffs (see below). In the USA they debuted in 1953. They were available in the UK by 1960.”

Good knowledge / looking on the net,
I had forgotten all about Special K and Bran Flakes, those were both to be avoided unless desperate because it was rumoured they might actually be good for you or give you the shits in the case of Bran Flakes :-)

Special K were awful. Is it still made?

I never liked Ricicles (sugared Rice Krispies) although Rice Krispies with sugar are one of my favourite snacks. I ofter have them after a night match for supper. And yet Frosties are ggggrreeat and that’s the same idea, Corn Flakes coated in sugar.

One of life’s mysteries. Arthur C Clarke never investigated it.

Dont know about special K not seen them for years, I used to like the old fashioned frosties, like corn flakes but coated in a sort of icing sugar?, I think my favorite now are standard Corn flakes but as you say with sugar on top :-)

Cereals with ‘built in’ sugar are disgusting. No real taste.
Did you know that Corn flakes were invented as a cure for sexual problems? An excess of Randiness, I think.

Dr Kellogg was very much against the carnal sin of masturbation and so, as you say, invented the cornflake.

I'm not entirely certain how he figured that would stop people touching themselves though.

So we all have religion to blame for a carnal sin. Lashings of extra guilt, please

Special K are absolutely still made. It's the only cereal buy. Delicious.
Disclaimer. I would eat corn flakes or rice krispies if special k were to disapear.

You have clearly never smeared maple syrup on your palms, dipped your hands in a box of cornflakes and then tried to pull the goalie.

There's a film where he's played by Anthony Hopkins, Jesus Christ !
