it’s been 30+ years since I’ve tried cookie crisp cereal but I’ll never forget. Anyone who’s expecting a cookie experience from this cereal is gonna be severely disappointed.
Comment on Cereal is glorified food pellets.

I stopped eating cereal years ago. Try the atkins diet sometime it is very eye opening.
But I swear Watterson was parodying Cookie Crisp cereal. My mind always went to that when he mentioned the sugar bombs. Yes, You CAN have cookies for breakfast.

I never knew there were different flavors. Vanilla?!?
And it has probably been that long since I've had it too. Can you still buy it?
It was a BIG deal when my parents let us kids buy a "sugar" cereal. Cookie crisp was my choice and I only remember buying it once.

yeah all I recall it was more crisp than cookie, leaving abrasions on the roof of the mouth, and some gross synthetic sweetening that leaves a weird metallic aftertaste. and for those who have a sweet tooth, they’re still gonna be disappointed because on a scale of 1 to 10, the sweetness of the cereal is about a 2.

Yeah, that crisp was the worst. I remember captain crunch actually made my mouth bleed. A literally bloddy breakfast. W.T.F.
That must be the food shellac mentioned in the Vacation movie...

We call that keto these days.

I think "keto" encompasses atkins but is just "low carb" in general. If you get the book, atkins has many guidelines, levels, etc.
So, very similar, lots of overlap but not the same.

Atkins was named after a man. Keto is the more accurate and clinical word for the same concept which ketosis, the metabolic state your body goes into when you eat nothing but meat.

We will have to agree to disagree. This is not worth arguing about.
