Did you guys hear? Say au revoir to Captain Crunch...something about it didn't meet federal regulations of being nutritionally sound or something of the sorts. Says who? Certainly the Crunch packs a more nutritional punch than Reeses Peanut Butter Puffs or Smores (both of which are divine I might add). I could understand if you were putting a box of chips ahoy and oreos into the food processor and pouring half and half over them, but the Crunch is an icon. Last year it was the demise of Mother's animal cookies which were frosted shapes of delectable goodness. Yes, obesity is a growing epidemic but do we need this intervention with our food? Can't I decide whether or not I want to devour a bowl of sugar laden cereal that literally tears the roof of my mouth up? If I want to drink hershey's syrup from the bottle and chase it with Nutella isn't it my decision?
For example, who decided to name miniature candy bars "fun" size? Please. Trust me, the reality is that the king size bar is the fun size, but eat too many of those and you will have to pry yourself out of your chair and go purchase a pair of pants made of 99% spandex. They even have celebrity chefs working on school lunch menus which I find totally interesting.
When I was in elementary school one of our popular lunches was a bologna cup. What exactly is a bologna cup you may ask? A piece of fried bologna with a scoop of mashed potatoes and a slice of cheese on top. This delicacy is probably not available at Wolfgang Pucks, but it was an interesting looking dish. Maybe this was a south Georgia specialty, although I can imagine Vicki Vallencourt and Bobby Bouchet dining on the bologna cup.
Well at least the peeps at Special K are on the right track with the addition of their Chocolate Delight. Now, if only DQ could create Blizzards available in the frozen food section...Peace
