The dance of King Vitaman: Shoddy Goods 081
1In our house, I was limited to Cheerios, Total, and the occasional Life, based on some sugar-not-in-the-first-two-ingredients rule. But when Christmas hit, we got tiny boxes of the sugar-iest cereal and I had a week or so of hanging out with Cap’n Crunch, Toucan Sam, and Count Chocula.
What was your go-to cereal growing up? And who were your favorite cereal mascots?

Growing up? Alphabets.
Now? Quaker Oat Squares
Mascot- Tony the Tiger of course
Captain Crunch with crunchberries.
I was going to say Tony the Tiger, but everyone is going to say that; I do have a certain affection for Toucan Sam.
So Toucan Sam. Final answer.
I was never a big cereal eater growing up. I’ve never been a big milk person but while growing up I hated it and coudnt even stand it with cereal. I do enjoy cereal as adult now and use milk with it (still don’t drink milk but will at least put it in my smoothies and stuff). Now I like captain crunch peanut butter even through it destroys the roof of your mouth, Frosted Flakes, Rice Krispies and very rarely Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Cereal is more of a late night snack or a treat for me.
Mascot- I love the snap, crackle, pop people
I liked eating Corn Pops and Golden Grahams but I’m not sure either of them has a mascot. I never thought the pictures on the box made the cereal taste any better so I didn’t care much about them. Now I eat cereal about once every 6 months.
