Cereal!

I bought a box of cereal today.

While this may be a relatively common occurrence on your planet, this is a momentous occasion in my life.

Every so often, when in the store, I'll buy a box of something -- generally Frosted Flakes or Raisin Bran.  I'll eat a bowl or two of cereal, and then ignore it.  I haven't reached the bottom of a box of cereal since I was a kid and had my whole family helping me.

Well, last week, I bought me some cereal.  And I've been having it for breakfast every morning.  And this morning, I reached the bottom.  I haven't enough left for a bowl.  I've done it!  I've eaten a whole box of cereal!  (And I went to the store today for more!  I can't get enough of this stuff.)

What fine breakfast product has done this?

Berry Burst Cheerios.

It's like Cheerios with strawberries in it -- except you don't have to go the trouble of washing and slicing the strawberries.  (It's precisely that sort of labor-intensive process that made me give up on cereal in the first place.)  At first it seems a little weird to have these dried out strawberry-like items floating in your cereal, but once you've thrown in some milk, they taste remarkably strawberry-esque.  And there's EXACTLY the right amount of them in there.  You get a little strawberry flavor in each and every spoonful.

Is modern breakfast cereal technology something or what?
