I was eating Corn Flakes today. Isn't that the same as admitting that I am old? When I was a kid the Corn Flakes box was a last resort. We were fortunate enough to get a steady diet of Frosted Flakes, King Vitamin, Sugar Pops, Cap'n Crunch, Lucky Charms, etc. If I was desperate enough to eat the Corn Flakes I would always toss on at least a few spoonfuls of sugar to make it taste as much like Frosted Flakes as possible.
When I posted recently about my earliest Kellogg's card memories I recalled getting Lem Barney and Mel Renfro. Why didn't I remember getting baseball players? Probably because I wasn't willing to convince my mother to get Corn Flakes. Forty-six years later I'm enjoying the Corn Flakes minus the massive extra sugar.
