I always thought the Simpsons was a, you know, comedy show, which rather gently and charmingly mocked many apsects of mainstream US culture.
I was wrong, apparently.

Look at Coco Pops. They are just 'blacked up' rice crispies. Why do they think they are going to get away with stuff like this? Its disgusting.....
Coco Pops are fvcking rank and I don't care if saying that makes me racist. Tell you what I liked - Ricicles. Basically rice crispies, but coated with lovely, lovely sugar.
You seem to be forgetting Golden Nuggets.
If I didn't have my milkphobia, I'd definitely eat Golden Nuggets every day.
God, but we ate so much sugar back in the day, didn't we? Orange squash, biscuits, cereal, sweets. And I was as thin as a rake as a kid, believe it or not.
Of course, this may explain why I barely have a fully-functioning tooth in my head, but there we are.

It seemed entirely normal to have three sugars in your tea. No one batted an eyelid. I suppose for the generation who lived through rationing, the sudden availability of sugar must have sent them into a frenzy...
I agree, I liked Ricicles.
I understand they got in trouble for a recent advert because their characters (basically rice crispies) lacked diversity, being all white. So they put in a brown looking one and made him the janitor

To be honest, though, I wouldn't eat a brown ricicle. I'd assume it was defective or that a rogue Coco Pop had snuck into the packet in search of all the white ricicle women.
All right thinking people did, la. Also, if we're being honest, Frosties were nicer than Crunchy Nut Cornflakes because they didn't fvck about with honey and nuts, they just chucked half a kilo of sugar into every packet.
