My friend Mike and I were recently reminiscing about the awesome way Cap’n Crunch shreds the roof of your mouth, leaving all those little strips of irresistible-to-your-tongue skin hanging down, like some beaded curtain in a 1950’s French bistro. Mike, not even knowing that I had recently discovered a knock-off “healthy” organic version of peanut butter Cap’n Cruch, was excitedly telling me that he had just discovered a “healthy” organic version of the regular stuff. This prompted an animated swapping of childhood cereal memories, not unlike the scar-sharing scene in Jaws.

Oh no, for him the experience was like shaving without the benefit of shaving cream. And he was delighted to revisit the sensation now that Kashi makes Honey Sunshine, the cereal with the name of a stripper, so that he can do so and still claim to be nourishing his body. more ›
