Kids: *Happily eating substitution*
You: *Reveal the trick*
Kids: "Well now we're not eating it anymore" (and also they could supposedly tell something was off all along)
Tootie fruities are just flat out better tha Froot Loops. Fight me.
Malt o meal is just better in general. The Colossal Berry Crunch is better than Cap'n Crunch too. And you can buy the giant bag that lasts forever.
I like that crispix cereal but it's fucking expensive. I wish maltomeal made a version of it.
cereal is cereal, mostly
I usually buy the cheap Fruity Pebbles for my kids, but Walmart has out of them one day so I got the name brand as a treat. Their response? "Dad, please don't buy those again. Dyno Bites are better." I was flabbergasted.
Then again, they don't see cereal ads, don't know who the Flintstones are, but love dinosaurs.
Growing up I watched all the cereal ads and I still preferred the Dyno Bites. There's so much crap added to the "big brand" cereals. It's like eating sugar. It must be overwhelming for them trying those after being used to Dyno Bites.
The price difference was huge not long ago. Now it's much closer and everything is overpriced severely.
That's not a "back in my day" thing either, do the math on it and where it should be from inflation and where it's at from gouging are not even close.
My parents mixing the expensive cat food with the cheap cat food: ⬆️
Yeah they tossed the marshmallow mateys in with my lucky charms too
My mother did this with coco pops for years and my sister didn't realise until her twenties when she caught her in the act
Your sister was still being served cereal bought by her parents in her twenties?
She really gotta have her Pops. (jaws notes)
And her insulin.
can someone explain the difference between the two ?
There is none, but kids are picky and want expensive name brands because pretty images
It shows you the power of branding. I remember that there was a study where kids were given a regular hamburger in a McDonald's wrapper and the same hamburger by itself and kids overwhelming said McDonald's tasted better.
I think they even replicated the experiment where the McDonald's hamburger was unwrapped and kids still preferred the McDonald's wrapped burger.
That big bag costs less than the little box.
The box is a name brand cereal. The bag is a copycat store brand cereal that's cheaper.
Malt-o-meal is also a name brand rather than a store brand. Just less well known than Kellogg or General Mills.
Mines are still open, chimney's need sweeping, Looms need resetting you want name brand go earn it
Those are the same product..
... Obviously you don't have kids
Yup, but they are made in the same factory
My mom used to cut our honey nut tasteeos with regular tasteeos.
Like a 3 parts regular to 1 party honey nut cut.
