The One with Excessive Amounts of Cereal

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

Today I calculated that I've eaten over 17,000 bowls of cereal in my life.

Here's the math: I've eaten about 2 bowls of cereal a day (one for breakfast, one for dessert after dinner), every day of the year (365 days/year), since I was 2 years old (so for 24 years now).

24 x 2 x 365 = 17,520.

What can I say except I love cereal?

    Ha! I'm pretty sure I've eaten maybe 100 bowls of cereal in my life. I am not a fan.

    That sounds about right. You are made out of Cap'n Crunch. That's all I ate during my pregnancy with you!

    This made me laugh! That's the best blog post - one I bet nobody expected to read when they came here - too fuuny! That's a whole lot of cereal you've eaten there! My brother-in-law eats two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches everyday since he was a kid and one is after dinner for his dessert.

    dude. Cereal is my crack. When I went on Weight Watchers a couple years ago, it was by far the hardest thing to give up. I still struggle with it... my body just craves 2 bowls a day!

    Funny that when we buy Oh's, we have to buy everyone in the family their own box and label it with a sharpie.

    I love how many bowls of cereal you have eaten! And you have one every night for dessert??? Great idea!!!!!!! I have to share--when I went to the grocery store this past week, there was a sale on Lucky Charms (BOGO). So I got three sets. The lady rung me up and charged me for all six. So I had to get six more to get the BOGO free deal. Now we have 12 boxes in our house!!! LOL!

    Thanks for the list. I'm a little partial to Fruit and Yogurt Special K. Are there any cereal bars left in L.A.? You should try one if there are.

    Oh.My.Gosh.

    That is too funny. Jeremy would eat cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let him. LOL.

    Have you had Cracklin Oat Bran yet? Jeremy loves a lot of the same cereals you do, so I'm curious to see if you'd like his #1 fave. :-)

    Also... do you think you've tried every cereal out there (the main ones...)? Just curious...
