Has anyone else here ever experienced the medical anomaly know as "Sugar Puff Pee" (UK) or "Sugar Smacks Pee" (North Americans)?

If you have to ask, you'll never know. Hasn't put me off the cereal though - in fact, it encouraged me to up my daily urine intake. I hereby vote Sugar Puffs as best ever breakfast food. All hail King Honey Monster!

All this talk of cereal...

I'd pay 50,000 won for a box of Quaker Corn Bran right now. It has a distinctive taste/texture combo that I suddenly miss but can vividly recall.

At least my dad sent me my favourite hot cereal: Purity brand wheatlets. Smile

I once dreamt about Red River cereal.

Anybody tried the Korean cereal that is powder of various grains, nuts? And powder of the red berry that's used in Samgetang, the jujube. Well I did recently. And mixed in powdered soybean which isn't roasted or cooked at all, is raw. Making half of the resulting powder mix raw soybean meal.

The method is mix the stuff up with water and quaff it down. A thousand gram bag is 10,000 won. And the raw soy meal is 1,500 won for 500 grams. Gag this stuff down at work: it makes you feel good and healthy. The powder's very fine. Anyone else gagging on this hearty slop?

Ah! Rice Krispies!!! Funny! With all of the rice in Korea, you'd think this would be a big seller...but you can't find it here (well, probably in Hanam for an outrageous price!)!

The old school version of S'mores. Now the marshmallows taste like smores and the cereal puffs taste like s'mores, lame. In the old days it was just little marshmallows and graham cracker cereal (like golden grahams) with a chocolate coating. Food science ruined that cereal.

Fruit Loops:

I first became aware of the 'bondeggi of America' when I was young and went to Florida and saw the beauty of Disney World and Busch Gardens. I saw commercials for these multi-coloured-highliters-coloured-cereal-bits during commercials at the tender age of 10. They didn't impress me on TV, and luckily I wasn't forced to experiment with them.

My next contact with this filth was in 1999 when I was studying in the USA. I went to stay with some chicks' family and, on the second day, she fed me fruit loops for breakfast.

Now, I'm a double-hard-bar5ard. I can SKIP breakfast and still survive the day. That's how tough I am. But on this day, in some town somewhere near Trenton New Jersey I was given "Fruit Loops" for breakfast. Oh my freakin god this cereal is shit. It tastes of fluroescent colors and those sytrofoam-circles you get as a beer snack in Korean Korean bars. I forced down two mouthfuls then smashed the bowl over the bithces head who gave it to me.

Luckily I wasn't invited back. I've managed to avoid this travesty of breakfast since.
