Maybe $8 for a box is too much?
Right? We have less money than ever before and cereal and milk is more expensive than ever before. It's not rocket science. All their flavour and marketing adjustments are a waste of time and money.
Also 90% of cereals are just carbs and sugar. They're more of a junk-food than a breakfast.
Breakfast has been touted as the most important meal but it's treated like it's dessert. It's hollow, unfulfilling calories and even muesli or nut/berries doesn't help because it's more sugar on top of sugared carbs.
Advertised. It's all been marketing.
Curse you Edward Bernays!
The price keeps getting higher, the box is getting smaller, and I need to pay almost twice as much to not directly give myself diabetes. Noty

I've never liked cereal or milk. Savory breakfast is where it's at.
