Frosted Flakes is clearly the best cereal

Frosted Flakes is clearly the best cereal

How can you not comprehend the greatness?

 

When someone thinks of cereal, how the iconic tiger labeled box doesn't pop into one's head almost immediately is beyond me. The sweet frosting covering the crispy corn flakes is like the perfect marriage of sweet and crispy. The only way I anyone could make a similar combination of the two would be to directly wired ones mouth to some type of electrodes which simulate Frosted Flakes. This would probably take longer to set up than to actually just eat Frosted Flakes.

 

That being said, why would anyone ever want to try any cereal that’s not Frosted Flakes? If you don’t what a cereal that’s crispy, you should probably be eating oatmeal with the rest of the denture wearers. If you don’t want a cereal that’s sweet, you should probably be eating a toasted bread crumbs in a bowl of milk. Sounds delightful!

 

Perhaps your thinking some other cereal would provide another equally pleasant experience. You’d be wrong. Wheat and Rice based cereals get soggy far too fast. So all you’re really left with is corn. Yes, we know there are some of you out there that think cereal can be made from other types of grain that most people have never heard of, so, it must be good. But when it comes to food, the reason most people have never of it is because it sucks. The same reasoning behind spotted dick is not popular here in the United States. It’s horrid. To the point that I wonder if the people in the UK actually like it or they’re just making it as an excuse to say the name. End digression. As I was saying, you’re really only left corn.

 

Let’s suppose you want to make a cereal and your smart enough to use corn, but, you’re clueless on what style or shape. One idea to try could be the puffed/popped shape. If that’s the case, you probably like popcorn. And you have to make it sweet. So you’re going to have to make something like caramel or kettle corn. And you’re going to take this pour it in a bowl and add milk? If that’s a good idea, then, I suppose you’d also like the texture and taste of sugar coded Styrofoam. Aside from the possible poisonous side effects, I’m pretty sure it would amount to the same thing. If a cereal maker does figure out how to make edible Styrofoam he’s going to make a fortune off you.

 

Let’s face it, there are very few things in this life that a simple and great. And we as human being should be grateful that we have been lucky enough to find them. Of this short list in our long history, Frosted Flakes is among the top.

Just had to go there!

The name of this classic English pudding, Spotted Dick Steamed Pudding, usually will raise a smile or look of abject horror which is why some prefer the less-well-known title of “Spotted Dog”. The spotted part refers to the raisins and currants in the dough and the word dick' is a colloquial word for pudding. This is not a pudding for the faint-hearted or those on a diet. Made from suet, flour and dried fruit it is high in calories. It is, however, the perfect pudding for a treat on a cold winter's day.

Spotted dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit (usually currants), commonly served with either custard or butter and brown sugar. Spotted refers to the dried fruit (which resemble spots) and Dick may be a contraction/corruption of the word pudding (from the last syllable) or possibly a corruption of the word dough.[1] Another explanation offered for the latter half of the name is that it comes from the German word for "thick," in reference to the thickened suet mixture

Never heard of it, so had to do some research! This was fun!

In Oz we don't waste words....'frosted flakes' are called 'Frosties' ....made by Kellogs.

The also make 'Crunchy nut cornflakes' which are arguably better...;)

McCann's Irish Oats, slow-cooked for a half hour, add sinful amount of butter, sugar, cover with fresh whipping cream, serve immediately. Be very warm in sub-zero winters.    Vary w/raisins, etc.

See, you can't defend vegemite and expect us to agree with 'Crunchy nut cornflakes' being better. It's like saying hamburger is better than steak...and most people just don't 'get' scrapple.

Well, Frosted Flakes are Grrrrrrrrrreat, but I like a lot of different cereals too, Life, cinnamon toast crunch, Basic4, lucky charms, Raisin bran crunch, cocoa pebbles, fruity pebbles, captain crunch, honey bunches of oats w\strawberries, and I'm sure there is a few more that I can't think of right now. I don't think I really have a favorite, at different times I crave different cereals! However, I mostly eat them at night while watching T.V.

The best darned cereal in the whole entire World is the one somebody else fetches for me... and that'd have to be toasted tropical museli with a low-fat fruit yoghurt instead of milk, preferably peach & mango, tho blueberry & vanilla will do...

If not.... I'll wait 'til somebody brings me lunch.

O:)
