Except chocolate covered sugar bombs, which is miniaturized dessert.
Futurama called it “Bachelor Chow”.
Cereal is glorified food pellets.

Except for Frosted Shredded Mini Whats, which are glorified food pallets.

Mmmmm. Bails of fried spider legs, lightly sugared. What’s not to love?

Eating one dry is what I imagine biting a vacuum cleaner bag must feel like

I’ve always thought of microwave burritos as food pellets and cereal as human kibble. But that’s just me.

Is that supposed to make me want it less?

If food pellets were good, there was enough variety to combat food fatigue, and they were nutritionally complete I'd be for them as a product. Cheap fast food is always going to be necessary. Soylent fills the fast purpose.

Do we even need those conditions? I’m already good with the same breakfast every day, and lunch is usually the same sandwich unless there are leftovers. I can’t be the only one who always prized convenience for those two meals, leaving only dinner for creativity/variety. I just need to be convinced soylent/food pellets is more convenient than making a sandwich
snippyfulcrum@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I mean with a sandwich you have to go to the grocery story select the individual sandwich components, bring them home, put them away, put said components together to form the sandwich.
If you get the soylent in bottles it’s just a subscribe to have them delivered to your door, put in fridge (or don’t but I personally think they’re better cold), grab a bottle out of fridge.

As a child i thought it's pretty wild that we can have dessert for breakfast. I didn't eat cornflakes during my adult life and foe some reason i bought these cornflakes that look like little cookies and holy shit that's exactly what they are. I couldn't eat them they were so sweet i felt like i was eating weaponized diabetes

If I want sugary carbs for breakfast I’ll just eat cake.

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.

Try the atkins diet sometime
We call that keto these days.
guyrocket@kbin.social 5 months ago
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.

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.
guyrocket@kbin.social 5 months ago
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.

Might as well eat ice cream for breakfast.
