Unfortunate discovery made after a 3am excursion to Walmart.
Cocoa Puffs are nowhere near as stupendous as I remember them being.
At all.
& just because it turns your milk brown doesn't mean it creates chocolate milk by any means whatsoever.
That is an out-and-out LIE.
AND WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED TO SONNY OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS??
I'm sure this box is reminiscent to many a temper tantrum thrown in store aisles in the mid-80s...
Definitely my favorite.
...Well.. THIS is what I found on the shelf recently.
There's a stark contrast between the wholesomely "cuckoo" Sonny from my childhood...
with the feathers on his head touseled like a crazy little kid with bedhead... arms wrapped around a giant bowl (Aw. How whimsical!)
....and the Sonny on the box in my cabinet presently.
I mean.. seriously... fucking look at him. His eyes are bugged out, practically every feather on his body standing on-end,
his hands are shaky & all in the cereal bowl; milk's splashing around all over the place..
...and what the hell did he do with his clothes...?
I dunno if it's the Cocoa Puffs... but he certainly has been hittin' something hard for the past decade...
I'm gonna go read the ingredients listing.
And refill my bowl.
It sucks but I can't stop...
