Adam was most aggrieved the other day when he read my post about Cheerios and Froot Loops.

“They do not taste the same, and I’m going to go buy a box of both to prove it!”

So yesterday I was subjected to a blind taste-test, where which I learned that, indeed, they do not taste the same. Froot Loops are just as evil tasting as I remember (but with not much more sugar than Cheerios, actually, if you take the time to read the box).

However, ever since Keira has clasped eyes on those synthetic colourful balls of diabetes-waiting-to-happen, she’s wanted to eat them. So this morning we gave her a extra-special treat, but I’m going to have to find a hiding space in the cupboard for the box, because ‘extra-special treat’ in her eyes equals ‘extra-special for only so long as I want to eat them again, whereupon I will pester you until your eyeballs dry out so I can eat them again.’

Fun times.

What foods do you wish your kids had never discovered?

Note: Last night I finished Harry Potter. I have removed the poll I had on my left sidebar now because, now I’m done, I cannot trust myself not to spoil it for others, by leaving temptation there for commentary.

If anyone has finished it and wants to discuss, however, feel free to email me and we can discuss it privately. For I have a lot to say!
