You have to try these

It only took one bowl this afternoon for lunch, but I am pretty confident in saying Banana But Cheerios is my new favorite cereal. Cookie Crisp has held that title for approximately 27 years but it is time for a new champion. My good friend Cliff tried to sway me towards Honey Nut Cheerios five or so years ago and I have to admit...Honey Nut Cheerios are pretty darn good. But the Banana Nut version of the cheerios explodes with flavor. This delicious flavor partnered with a higher nutritional value than cookie crisp caused me to officially go public with this information of a Number One transfer of power. If you haven't had a bowl yet - immediately stop what you are doing - go to the nearest grocery store - and buy a box of amazement. I encourage you bargain shoppers to go against your trained instincts and buy a box even if they are not on sale (yes - I just typed that Gretchen). You are welcome now in advance for the recommendation. My breakfasts and lunches will never be the same. My only job now is to hide the box from my wife and girls (like I do my toothpaste - another story). These cheerios must be enjoyed with milk.

Do NOT buy them regular price...you can get a coupon online and they are on sale at Rainbow this week.

Too funny cuz I got a box for free last week (on sale and I had a coupon that doubled) and no one in our house likes them. Jake practically puked when he tried them and even Mark (who likes any cereal) won't touch them. Rory is a purist when it comes to cheerios. Guess I'm giving them to my neighbors.

tara - i can't believe the chapman household has such hatred for the banana nut (or "but" - i read that stupid post twice for typos and didn't notice) cheerios.

There's just no way I'm eating Banana Butt Cheerios. So far one family is vomiting and the company is trying to give them away. Hmm.

And the name says it all. Banana Butt Cheerios? Seriously...at my age? How much more constipation do I need?

You know those "4 out of 5 Doctors Recommend..." recommendations that come on the side of cereal boxes? How many doctors are going to be able to recommend Banana Butt Cheerios? One? Will he loose his license if he recommends this?

I'll stick to the traditional German breakfast of beer and raw potatoes.

You know, I never thought that I'd see a cereal that blatantly states it tastes like butt! I mean, we've all tasted cereal that makes us think, "Boy--this really tastes like butt." Well, actually now that I think about it, I've never thought that about any cereal. I don't exactly know what butt tastes like as I'm not really a butt eating connoisseur. I guess you are though.

If I ever have the urge to taste butt, I'll be sure to mix it with banana. Thanks for the tip.

You "butt" commenters better proofread your posts 7-8 times because if you slip...oh, I will be ready.

OH MY GOSH! So, I was just eating cookie crisp this morning and I wondered if I would ever find something I love more. Bannanas are my favorite thing in America, so I am definitely going to buy some IMEDIATELY! I don't know how to spell that word, so it won't matter if I proofread or not : )
PS I love that your store is called Rainbow. That is beatiful I would like to shop there. After a rain storm... : )

Jamie, you are able to go in and correct your post though it seems like your friends are having way too much fun with the original.

I will make sure your mom has that in the pantry when you come home in June. Be careful, you may end up with boxes of it for your birthday next month.

God Bless,
Karen
