The Retro movement hits breakfast cereals

[Firefly]

Seconding Yayo Coke.

At one time in this country you could buy cocaine cola, buy morphine over the counter, buy machine guns over the counter, and buy everything from women to a Craftsman house from a catalogue. And dueling was not only legal but ENCOURAGED as a means to settle disputes.

And just......look at us now.

Are ya winning yet?

I can still remember my Grandfather telling me about how his dad would send him to the hardware store for a pail of nails and you could buy dynamite by the stick or case and they had a few Thompsons on the wall.

As an aside, anyone remember the urban legend from the 70's that the real "Mikey" ate a couple bags of "pop rocks" and then drank a bunch of Pepsi? Supposedly it burst his stomach and killed him. Of course I don't believe that ever occurred.

It was pop rocks and a COKE, weak pepsi shit could never kill a kid and even WE knew that.

Yeah that got passed around as fact for a long time. I still remember the first couple of years of SNOPES (before they began t engage in political fiction) and sending links to all of the now grown up adults who still believed that nonsense. They debunked about 65% of my childhood.

I’d like it if we could get cocaine back in Coca Cola .

Also I’d like to see a return of retro McDonald’s and the like. Yea food is trash (SPICY NUGS ARE GOD TIER) but vintage aesthetics would still be nice imo.

For the love of all that is holy, I would allow cocaine coca cola if they'd simply bring back REAL french fries at McDonalds. Those were almost the greatest French Fries in the history of the planet. But noooooo, we have to sell to McDonalds in India so it can't have animal fat or whatever those cheesedicks problems were. And rather than just create special french fries for India, McDickheads had to standardize around the lowest common denominator.

I remember in Germany Coca Cola having lime in the formula and I knew it tasted different but had to read the ingredients to understand why. So if Coke can add LIME for the goddamn Germans, you would think McDonalds can do some "No cow french fries" for India....but I guess that is too much to ask. I try to like India as generally they are actually an ally in most things AND they gave us the kama sutra...but forever fvcking up McDonalds french fries is a lot to forgive.

About the only cold cereal I remember eating is grape nuts or shredded wheat. Not the little spoon size with sugar added - the big haybale looking bricks. One or two in a bowl with a spoon of sugar and unpasteurized whole milk (we had milk cows). Cold cereal was honestly a rare treat. I remember I liked going to my cousin's house because we ate ridiculously sweet cold cereal.

Normal cereal was oatmeal, corn meal mush, or cream of wheat (farina) at a minimum. Toast/pancakes, eggs, ham/sausage, fried potatoes, half a grapefruit and one of the aforementioned hot cereals was a normal breakfast in the winter and we would burn it all off and be starving by lunch.

Are THESE making a comeback?

I recall those breakfast cereals of my youth, all that was ever purchased at home was the rare box of corn flakes thankfully. Very happy I never ate that garbage growing up.

Yeah, my Dad used to send me to the corner store for beer and cigarettes. I'd walk in and say "two packs of Kool Ultras and a six pack of Olympia. It's for my Dad". I'd ride home on my bike carrying a sack of beer and cigs and never got hassled for it.
