The above cereal discussion reminds me of when Saturday Night Live did a parody commercial for some mega-high-fiber cereal called COLON BLOW…
Yeah. Sadly the Colon Blow commercial is not on YouTube. I looked for it this morning.
Meal worms aren’t as gross…

True. I don’t know which have more fiber, but a bowl of meal worms will be far more tasty than that bowl of SHIT they call All Bran.
You’ve actually got me curious now. Never had All Bran, but I’m tempted to take one for the team, go out and buy a box and give it a shot.
Can’t be THAT bad, can it?

In all reality, no, it’s not like you’re eating something that is completely foul or something. It’s just . . . . bran. Imagine taking all the bran from your Raisin Bran . . . removing any of the sugar and all the raisins and then just mashing it all up and instead of flakes it’s these tiny little strings that look like goldfish turds.
You ain’t gonna barf or anything. But you don’t get any JOY out of your breakfast when you eat a bowl of All Bran. It’s the cereal for people who have given up on life and have reduced their sad shitty existence to one goal . . . a slow death punctuated by occasional regular poops.
Leave All Bran for the old people. Sack up and get yourself some Lucky Charms or some Honey Comb.

It’s on Yahoo for whatever reason.

The one word i’d use to describe it is “chewy”. The flavour is ok, it just takes a really, really long time to eat.
Not to get even MORE off the increasingly fiber-focused topic, but has anyone ever tasted natto (those fermented sticky beans from Japan that are supposed to be like one of the healthiest foods in the world)?
I wanted to try some once, but I swear they smell like a hamper full of unwashed sweat socks and rotten extracted teeth, so I chickened out.
I like natto okay.
It’s got a bit of a sour taste, which I don’t mind.
It usually comes with some spicy mustard which definitely helps. Also, you’re supposed you whip it up a bit with your chopsticks which gets it all gooey. It has a really slimy snot-like consistency. It’s not bad tasting. I think most people’s objection to it is probably the texture. Japan has quite a few slimy foods. There’s a mountain potato that has a really mucousy consistency when prepared too.
I don’t go out of my way to eat all that slimy stuff, though. I just don’t freak out when my wife or others serve it to me.
Grape-Nuts aka gravel pebbles.
Grape-Nuts also do not taste bad. But, yeah, you’re eating a bowl of tiny rocks. Whenever I had to eat it as a kid (because we had nothing else) I would pour a bunch of milk to give it a chance to soften up and I would spoon massive amounts of sugar on it.
Grape-Nuts fan here. I like the crunchy rocks.
I was always looking for “Krumply Krunch” in the grocery store when I was a kid.

Never heard of it. Is it a real cereal or something from a cartoon?
Forgive my interruption. But look at this Angelina’s jolly post.
I’m surprised she didn’t finish her post with something like “send this story to 5 friends or you will be bombed by ISIS tonight”. And “Ok allah go” - what is this shit?

He denied Christ.
Some Christian.
This story is 100% true.
Almost same thing happened to my my neighbor’s dad’s boss’s landlord and it was totally real. Zoltan.

Haha. Yea, that does sound like something that would be disqualified on snopes.com in about 25 seconds.[/reply]
Yes, reminds me of the poorly written chain emails I was seeing circa 1998-99…some evangelically-minded person would send out a totally unverifiable sob story about this kid who was ignored by his parents, picked on at school, and dismissed by his pastors…“and that kid grew up to be MARILYN MANSON!”
