K, why is it $9 for a box of Raisin Bran Crunch?
Cereals are all high-margin foods, they charge you that because you'll fucking pay it, you dirty little piggy. Oink oink
Anyway, switch to oatmeal, it's cheaper and there are a million different ways to make it
I haven't had cereal in like 25 years.
I haven't had breakfast in seven minutes, at least.
It is also much healthier.
Yes, almost all boxed cereal is basically candy. One serving of Raisin Bran Crunch has 19g of sugar, which is the same as half a can of coke
Okay but that’s the version with frosted bran flakes- it almost makes sense. The crazy thing is that regular Raisin Bran has 18g of sugar
Only nine of those grams are added sugars. The rest is mostly raisins, because people tend to forget that fruits are sugary as hell somehow.
Most fruit is bred to be more sugary than necessary, because that’s how humans like it. They also have less fiber and protein as a result. Some zoos won’t even feed their chimps bananas anymore because they get diabetes and tooth decay from human-grade bananas.
Well, raisins are concentrated fruit.
You gotta pump that economy, one box of Raisin Bran at a time!
I used to buy 3 boxes at a time, and now I just eat gruel.
because that stuff is actually mostly cocaine
Because people are willing to pay it. Because they have the money to. When the economy is “hot” prices go up.
They also seem to go up when the economy is "cold"... it's like the game is rigged or something.
