Couple of thoughts: first, Barry, you are demented. I would have rather eaten the Froot Loops box than eaten Cheerios as a kid. No one ate Cheerios except for parents. And if by some odd chance there was simply no food left in the house and you were forced to eat Cheerios, normal kids would dump an entire bowl of sugar in so that when you were finished eating you'd have sand bars in your bowl made of sugar.

Second, those Corn Pops rocked. Round, yellow, tasty. Bit of an aftertaste after eating an entire box, however, but they still rocked.

Third, Todd, I knew there was something off about you. Apple Jacks? Here was my reasoning as a kid why I would always choose Froot Loops over Apple Jacks: first, FLs had many colors as compared to just one in AJs; next, AJs tasted like apple (sort of). Why eat something that tasted like a real healthy fruit (again, kind of) when you could eat little bright colored, chemically flavored circles -- which tasted nothing like a real fruit?

Fourth, I loved Cap'N Crunch (sp?) but ONLY with Crunchberries. Those berries were divine! Without the crunchberries the cereal was kind of flat and dry.
