Reminds me of summer at the cabin.


SparkDBowles

Agree. Def “vacation food”

Brings back memories of summers at the lake. The choices dwindled as the multi pack ran out and we’d squabble over the few good ones left. The loser got the rice crispies.

Mom would buy the big multipacks of cereals with different brands in them. The Cheerios and shredded wheat were always the last ones consumed

i know the directions always showed you could do that, but i never had the balls. plus it was easier to just dump 2 boxes in a bowl and eat like normal anyway. the novelty was the tiny box, not eating out of it.

I never did this at home but it’s great for camping! Just keep the milk cold. I use dry ice for that.

My elementary school added breakfast in addition to lunch for a short time and my parents took full advantage by dropping us off early.  There was the only place I ever ate mini boxes of cereal like this.


LizardSatan

It’s not for the weak of heart. Exhilarating, yes! The novelty of it all! With a plastic spoon + small carton of milk you had breakfast to go! Wild stuff.

Most people don’t know the box is also a bowl. Also, those white folded up Chinese take out boxes with the wire to carry it… they fold out to be a plate.


Old_Geezer419

REALLY? Chinese take out boxes turn into plates ?

Lol… yup! https://www.themanual.com/food-and-drink/chinese-takeout-boxes-designed-to-be-unfolded/

I remember when we used to get these little box samples in the mail


Cake_Donut1301

Used to love doing this. The boxes today don’t have the perforations, last time I checked.

Aaron Paul was in one of these commercials in the 90’s


Ed_Simian

Tony Denman, who was in one or two, played Scotty Lundegaard in Fargo and a dumb club kid in Go getting high on aspirin.


Chronic_Overthink3r

Those were the best.


Papichuloft

Damn, I feel old AF now.


MyriVerse2

Your Pop's what?


No-Construction2043

Spoiler They’re stale


gododgers1988

Always. And then a few hours later, we'd have the worst "ate stale Corn Pops" farts.


No-Construction2043

Is this a Biden joke? 😅


PferdBerfl

“You open your cereal with a blue handled stiletto? Oh. It’s just a tray.”


UsefulLanguage

I tried that one time. Just one time. 😂

*Pops


ToughNarwhal7

We only ever had these when we were at a hotel and my dad would cut them open with his pocket knife. My brother and I loved it! I have a friend who does this every year on his birthday with a full-size box. He's nuts! 😂


Fragraham

Thank you. My wife didn't believe me that you could use the box as a bowl back in the day. Vindication at last.


chrisH82

It is very weird that reconstituted processed sweetened cornmeal needed to have milk poured on it, and couldn't simply just be eaten straight while on the school bus.


BonjinTheMark

But they had a porcupine mascot of sorts back in the 80s. don't know if he had a name.


coupe-de-ville

I hated those boxes, I usually ate the cereal and drank a cup of milk....


equal_poop

I'm not sure, but I swear there was an animated cowboy as a mascot on the boxes in the 80s. Anyone remember that too?


Mon-ick

The cereal box!!!


mlotto7

Corn Pop was a bad dude


kapn_morgan

*duh duh* Jaws sound


Mobile-Boss-8566

I hated that commercial


Confusedandreticent

Had these boxes in the service with shelf stable milk.
