We had a rule that it had to be something that I had eaten when I was a
kid, and then the smallest, try-out size, box. Will was always falling
for the snazzy commercials of the newest cereal, and every week he would
want another, different kind, while we still had the others in the
cabinet. That rule kind of short-circuited that desire process. It
allowed me to display my disdain for the sales manipulation, which was
really the message I was trying to get across--because he was falling
victim to it.

If it was a snazzy commercial for an old cereal, I made good and bought
him the cereal anyway.

Recently we picked up a box of Fruity Pebbles attached to something else
at Sam's Club. He was surprised when I said, "Okay" with a shrug. He
said, "Fruity Pebbles were around when YOU were a kid!?" He thinks the
Flintstones are a recent invention. lol.

Kinda like when, on Oprah, I heard a 22-ish woman say she didn't believe
vibrators were even invented when her mother was a young woman! rofl.

Didn't vibrators and Kellogg cereal kind of go, er, hand in hand? What IS
the name of that movie about the health spa...???

'welcome. :) I remember watching and liking it pretty well too. I think it
got pretty scathing reviews at the time.
