I know that I already did a Cap’n Crunch post<\/a>, but it’s Xmas Eve and I wanted to do an entry that’s specifically related to the holiday(s). There honestly aren’t too many Xmas-related things that I want, so we’ll have to swallow our pride and go for the low-hanging fruit: seasonal cereal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess there are a lot to choose from, when it comes to cereals that get a red-and-green-coloured rebrand ’round December. Or, at least, there’s a lot to choose from if you’re an American. I went looking for any sort of holiday-flavoured cereals against my better judgement (to stay out of stores because COVID) and found squat for my troubles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Obviously, the top choice would be Christmas Crunch, which I believe is just Crunch Berries that are dyed red and green instead of the usual colours. Which is fine. I’m a big fan of Crunch Berries. When they recently became readily available in my neck of the woods, I wept with joy for days. But it would sure be nice to have the ones that fit the season!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Actually, I just looked it up out of curiosity, and the Crunch Berries are not only Xmas colours, but they’re shaped like stars and festive trees! Maaaaaaan what a rip job it is to live in Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, when I was out searching, I did come across what I believed<\/em> to be Christmas Crunch from a distance (I was not wearing my glasses). Behold!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright, Quaker Oats Company. I’ll let you off the hook this time<\/em>. It’s not really at the right time of year (somewhere around Canada Day would be more appropriate), but I suppose a half-hearted apology for not giving us the pancakes is better than no apology at all. At least I can ignore the box and pretend that this is Santa Crunch cereal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with that, the 24 Days of Desire are complete! Huzzah! Every time I do this, I forget what a huge pain in the ass it is to write a blog post each day for nearly an entire month. Unless I can come up with a really<\/em> good theme, I’m taking next year off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
