As a kid, sugary, unhealthy and all-around nutritionally-devoid cereals were the name of the game. This, of course, before parents got the idea to feed their kids healthy options (hello granola and oatmeal) instead of the desired glucose-rich, protein poor choices that we saw on TV.

When times were good and sugar was okay, we got down to business. When push came to shove, the hard decisions had to be made. Mom said it was one or the other, just this once. CHOOSE.

So.

What was it? Cocoa Krispies or Count Chocula?

Frankenberry or Boo Berry?
