"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh
At the end, I think those are the small boxes where you could open the sides and just pour milk in. I liked those, I wonder if someone still makes them.
I used to get Ma Paco to buy those little boxes occasionally when she took me to the grocery store. I liked the fact that you'd get a variety of cereal products; however, I don't know that I ever saw anything with Marshal Dillion's picture on it.
Yeesh. Even as a kid I never liked sweetened cereals. Frosted Flakes, Sugar Pops, Cocoa Krispies, and worst of all was Captain Crunch. After a bowl of Crunch you'd not only have a sickeningly sweet aftertaste for the morning, but the skin on your palette would be shredded.
I liked the "boring" cereals, like Grape Nuts or Wheat Chex.
I have to admit that I always liked Frosted Flakes when I was a kid, but Ma Paco rarely bought them. Captain Crunch I disliked for the reasons you stated. When I got older, I became a huge fan of Rice Chex, and even ate them dry out of the box. Nowadays, I don't eat cereals at all.

I don't think so; all I've ever seen in the past decade or so are single serve packages, where the "package" is a plastic bowl.
DeleteA pity ... ... those small boxes were rather fun.
