I thought this was about a cereal for a hot second.

I love Apple Jacks. I haven’t had them in years.

Why don't they taste like apples!? (⁠ノ⁠ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ⁠)⁠ノ⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Wait until you hear about Grape Nuts.

Are those The Grapist's testicles?

I'm gonna tie you to the radiator!

Really? I've never even tried them but I always assumed they were basically apple flavored cheerios.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

They’re a very strong artificial cinnamon flavor.

Apple Jacks are my number two, only behind Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Also, number two, behind. Heh.

That joke was brought to you by lactose intolerance, btw.

I scrolled away and had to come back because I just kept repeating the sentence in my head. If Apple Jacks gets $19B in profit I better join the cereal industry.

Is this thread a secret marketing ploy?!?!? Now I want some delicious fake apple cereal!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I thought I was really out of the loop. A brand I haven't heard in over 20 years has been killin it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The cereal is that good, I wasn't doubting they were pulling that XD

Glad I wasn't the only one.
