I went shopping after school yesterday. I was shopping hungry, so that wasn’t so good. But I got some French Toast Crunch cereal, and cereal is always good. At least I hope it’s good. I remember French Toast Crunch, but I don’t remember tasting it. The maple-flavored cereal I remember is Waffle-O’s. I had more than once box of that, so I think I liked it. Will I like French Toast Crunch? I won’t know until I try it. Unfortunately, last night I had some Hamburger Helper, so I didn’t have any cereal.
Apparently, this cereal was last available in the 90’s. The back of the box features a 90’s theme. It’s kind of funny because they talk about the 90’s like it was a long time ago. I remember a lot of these things, but not because I was a child of the 90’s.
I did all of these… NOT!
Here’s the list, since the picture isn’t very good:
You played grunge or hip hop jams on your boom box.
You remember gas being under a dollar.
You insisted that people “talk to the hand”
You had clothes that were either baggy, backward, or neon.
You secretly prepared for y2k.
You went to a video store to VHS tapes.
You knew the Macarena dance by heart.
You tight-rolled your jeans.
You practiced doing the “Running Man” in the mirror.
You had a poster of your favorite boy band on the wall.
You played video games at home more than the arcade.
You used the term “Chillin’ at my crib”
You frosted your hair.
You totally ate French Toast Crunch for breakfast.
You occasionally threw the word “NOT” at the end of a sentence.
Ha! I like your caption.
These were hard to read. I blame my eyesight that remembers the 70’s as good times. How can you leave us hanging on how it tastes? I have NO memory of this cereal – none.
I thought the picture would be clearer. I just added the list in typed-out form.
Bless your heart. I could read it on the computer screen )it was bigger than on the iPad), but I had to have my glasses at the new weird tilt. Dang it, give me bifocals, you eye doctors!!
‘chillin’ in the crib’? Never heard of that.
I have no idea what this list is about…not. (Still use that one.)
But I do know what you mean when you type “like it was along time ago”. I’m so old even World War II doesn’t feel that long ago any more…and I wasn’t born until a decade after it ended. Like Lauren, my fondest memories come from the ’70 s, when I ended high school, attended college, and started teaching. I can still sing the lyrics from those contemporary songs with the best of ’em, for example. No special cereals developed during that time, that I know of,though. 🙁
