   Did you know they're called Rice Bubbles in Australia? Makes perfect sense. Also, the cereal was used in the Dune soundtrack.

   Kevin, you tease... I thought you were going to announce that Clarence Thomas finally croaked.

      Glad I'm not the only one. There was a little news blurb on TPM that he had not yet been released from hospital ... and gods forgive me, but I hoped...

   Was there some issue with Rice Krispies I wasn't aware of?

      I don't know specifically but Kellog workers were on strike for about a month in January/February.

   That sound Rice Krispies make is actually detecting microwave background radiation from the birth of the universe.

   People aren't aware of this.

      I thought Rice Krispies made that noise from *releasing* radiation...

   I'll tell you what goes good with Rice Krispies. Bosco.

   My understanding is the snap and crackle just doesn’t have the same pop they used to…. And besides, Coco Puffs were better 🙂

   I always liked Sugar Frosted Flakes (later termed "Frosted Flakes" when "sugar" became "the S word"), but have switched to Raisin Bran. Post™ , if it isn't too crass to product-place.

    Trader Joe's Puffins cereal FTW. Is it cereal or is it a convenient snack?
