Ah, those afternoons, with a good book, an entire stick of pepperoni by my side and a few hours yet to go...

YES. Strawberry milk (only from the syrup, not the packaged kind) is the sweet nectar of the gods!
I also get Count Chocula, when I can afford it! Haha.

Strawberry quik for sure. Those frozen flavored ice treats we'd freeze. Quisp. Some peanut butter astronaut food type snack stick. Crunch n Munch. Pringles- when they were new they were wicked awesome. McChicken. Marathon bar (a belt shaped candy bar). White chocolate.

When I was a wee lad, I used to eat it all the time (not big on sweets, but the cereal was good). The mascots were the cop and the bungling burglar and dog trying to get their hands on the cereal. Then somewhere down the line, the burglar was removed and it was just the cop and the thieving dog. And now? Just a dog. No hints of larceny.
What the hell? Do we have to sanitize images to the point that the context makes no goddamn sense anymore? What does a dog have to do with cereal or cookies? At least the mascots used to portray the sense that the product was thievingly delicious.

Milk bubbles! Yeeeeee!
Did anyone else go absolutely nuts over all those lunchbox snacks? You know, like Fruit Roll-ups, tiny packets of anything chocolate-coated, and fruit snacks of any kind in the shape of cartoon characters? I miss eating those...
Then again, there are some things I can't even stand the thought of now because I had it every single day in my lunchbox. Prime example: Capri Sun. I fucking HATE Capri Sun. I don't think I've touched one since I was ten or eleven, but I can only remember it as nauseating, metallic-tasting swill.
And stabbing a bag full of sticky liquid with a flimsy straw! Yeah, that's always fun! Even after you learn to plug the top of the straw with your thumb, half the time the straw just snaps, and every other time the juice squirts around the sides and spills anyway!
Spoon: Green vegetables always made me gag when I was little, and they still do now!
