Beware of the Soggies!

If your family was anything like my family, sugar cereal was not allowed. We could get it on vacations and that was it. There must have been a lot of parenting literature circulating on the subject in the early 80s because my wife's family had the same policy.

Or, then again, maybe it was because the parents did not think that a mixture of processed corn, sugar and chemicals was a great way to start the day.

Cap'n Crunch was my favorite childhood cereal (with crunch berries of course). What about you? I loved the way the yellow bricks tasted with the crunchberries (and didn't really notice the greasy film it leaves in your mouth). When I was a freshman in college and liberated from the oppressive cereal policies of my parents, I ate many a bowl. I haven't had it for a long time and may pick up a box next time I'm at the grocery store, just for old time sake.
