No Matter How Hard We Run, We Can Never Escape Our Childhood Breakfast Cereals
Reposted from 2013. It's actually National Breakfast Cereal Day, so I'll make this my I'm-out-of-here Completely Open Thread post for the night.
I
don't want to admit this, really, but -- and what you're about to read is pretty much actually true -- since I was a child, I've had a strong revulsion to Kaboom cereal, due to what may be called a early-childhood type of social dysmorphia.
And, ultimately, self-hatred.
You say you've never heard of Kaboom? You think I'm making Kaboom up?
Well let me explain this. You've heard of Apple Jacks, right? Sure you have. Everyone has.
I wanted to be an Apple Jacks kid.
Apple Jacks kids had so much fun in the commercials. Fresh-faced, healthy, and free, and hopeful for the future. Singing and dancing and just loving on their Apple Jacks.
And the cereal was awesome too. I had it once in a Snack-Pack that fell off a truck.
But there were no commercials for Kaboom.
It was just a dirty little secret, like massage parlors and the back room at a pawnbroker's.
That's why you never heard of it.
But Kaboom kids know. Kaboom kids understand.
