I want some. I don't care if it's bad for me or that I don't need it. I want Kix. I want Corn Chex. I want Honey Graham Ohs and some real Frosted Flakes. None of that reduced sugar crap. I would pay 20, 000 won for a box of Raisin Bran Crunch. I would sell my body for a box of Fruity Pebbles or Cinammon Toast Crunch.

*sigh* I just got back from Lotte Mart and no matter how hard I stared at the cereal aisle, nothing changed into anything I wanted.

homeplus had genuine imported from the UK tesco cereals, didn't look at the whole selection, but they had frosted flakes which is a perfectly good rip off of Kelloggs Frosties

might have the honey and cinnamon version too?

From my perspective all Korean cereal is junk food cereal. Even Special K is sweet here.

A box of Special K Red Berry at Costco is 12,500 and lasts me two weeks.

yeah, you get all the sugar but none of the good taste. Like Dutch peanut butter. Have you had that shit before? It has the same sugar as Skippy but tastes like peanut paste.

You can find most of those cereals at I Love Cookie. There are a few locations now in and around Seoul. (Itaewon, Jeongja (Bundang), Suji (Yongin))

You can also find them at the black market shop in Sinchon.

How much are they? It feels unnatural to pay more than 6 dollars for a box of cereal.

I am indeed female, thought it doesn't seem to matter. Very Happy

Of course, I would never sell my body for a box of cereal. Though if you throw in some of that quorn you've been talking about... Cool

Count Chocula would sell well here as would Peanut Butter Cap'N Crunch.
BTW, it's not "Tony the Tiger" on the boxes. It's "Glorious Leader Tiger who will one day destroy the hold of the waygookin."
