The United Kingdom for the best cereals, to bring back

of the best looking boxes.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
Have you sampled a bunch? You have not? So what
what is your typical breakfast?

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Honestly, I mean back here, I used to have like thousand,
a thousand calories each day for breakfast. I probably had
like five hundred calories for breakfast, so I was like
an omelet. I was able to make an omelet. But
then you know, I'd have like an orange or I'd
have cornflake cereal like generic corn flake cereal on the side,
but you know, not beans on toast. Didn't have beans

Is it like is that like baked? Is that baked beans?

Speaker 4 (01:36):

Speaker 1 (01:36):
Yeah, yeah, okay, it's very different baked beans to the
ones over here. Yeah, they saw that in America and

bigger and better podcasts. So he's down the hall with
TJ Holmes and Amy Roadblock whatever her name is Roadblock Roadbuck, Yeah,
which are now part of the iHeartRadio family. So welcome aboard.
Maybe we'll do a crossover with them, hopefully. See I

(02:22):
told him, like, dude, when you're talking to TJ and Amy,
go in there and say, so, you know what do
you guys eat for breakfast and try to do it,
you know, but no, He's like no, no, no, no, no, no,
you know nothing, you know nothing about Yeah. Anyway, so
let's get this going serial killers in turn because it
is nice. Let's break him out, all.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Right, So straight out of Leeds, England in the United Kingdom. First,
we have Kellogg's honey Bees loops or something like that.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Have you done that one?

Speaker 1 (02:53):
No? I don't think so. I've seen that box. Oh
you know? Okay, hold on, we checked.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
The Cereal site for everything.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Because look, the boxes must all look the same. So
that is that.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
That's the generic corn flakes that I've had for breakfast
every day. Is different from this, I'm assuming.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
So do a lot of the Kellogg's boxes there look
like this. Literally, the entire wall of Cereal is just
this color. Interesting, it just looks like a wall. Well,
I mean, I just threw it down there with the
rest of my mask. But yeah, So.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
This, this one is the first one that we have,
and then the second one. I don't think you have
this one either, check the website. But Golden Nuggets.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I've never done. It's really good.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Don't you love a good golden nugget.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Yes, that's like, that's like the treasure. Look they what
to expect from this one according to that box they
went down under and mind for that. I don't know
which one to try first. This one looks a little
bit more boring, so let's try that first. Let's go
honeys right, I don't even know what that is, but
it's not they're not even z's theirs.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Well okay, but.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Everything in England that they spelled with a Z.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
It's a Z. You know where I learned that from
the Spice girls. Yeah, because back in the day when
they would come in, they would go, this is baby Spice,
whoever the hell her name was on Z one hundred. Yeah. Cool,
all right, so this is Family's Health, supporting your family's health.
It's got iron and vitamin D and oh my god,
it's got one of these cool games on the back.

(04:20):
Do you know what this game reminds me of? You
probably remember growing up there was a show called Blockbusters. Yeah,
you wrote with Alan Ludden. I think, oh yeah, and
that's exactly little. You had to get from one side
to the other, and I think that's pretty much it.
You have to leave. I'm sorry. Yeah, you're checking your watch.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Diamonds just texting me how bad she feels. Diamond was
out sick.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
Today, Okay, because usually Andrew's like on his phone. I
already ripped the top of the box. I'm very upset.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
That's all right. Oh you know how he has to
open the box a certain way.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
Affection. Okay. So they're a little bit yellow ish, like
look at look at them, look at the look at
the color on them. They're a little yellow, all right.
I hope they smell like nothing.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
They smell like absolutely noting fibers.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
They kind of look like like would you would be right?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
You know what this looks like like when you go
to the petting zoo and you put a quarter in
the little machine, right, That's what it looks like when
the little Yeah, yeah, so this is gonna be so
this will be spectacular. He's like, thanks, very excited, all right,
something to go back to the Farmland Fresh Airy's fridge.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
He really does have a fridge.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Today. We're gonna be using Farmland Fresh Airries organic two
percent milk. I like to use the organic because just
because the container photographs better. You know, when you when
you use the plastic jug and it's like half empty.
You totally just spit in there by the way that
one's yours.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Okay, no problem, yeah, changed, ye, don't make fun of me.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
So would you say that over there is Cereal more
or less prevalent than it is here? Like you know,
here the entire aisle is breakfast Cereals.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
I mean it's definitely less prevalent. I mean they still
it's still a big thing over there, Like they have
their own you know, brands and everything, but right, I mean,
they don't have the whole aisle dedicated to Cereal. They
have a back wall that they just you know, stack up,
but it literally looks the same. So you don't even
know what Cereal have the times like a wall.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
All right, here we go, ready, Yeah, the crunch is
definitely different. It's got that. Yeah, it's.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
Horrible.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
No, it's no flavor, that's right, it's not. You get
just a touch of honey when it first goes in
your mouth, and then it's it's very fibery.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
It's more crunchy than tasty.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Yeah, it's an interesting consistency. Look, it's not awful, but
it's not bad. I have to write all these letters out,
so s is me, d is, Danielle, s p is,
Spencer and s h is. There's so many s's. You
all know the rating system. We go five balls, spoons
or a half. I'm giving this three bowls in a spoon.

(07:05):
It's not horrendous, not great, you know, it's kind of
middle of the road ish. Two bowls, two balls from
SPU and shot. I think it's a three ball in
a couple of spoons.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
You got to stick to the rating system.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
I mean three balls and a couple of spoons will
be four balls. Yeah, let's say three and a spoon. Okay, Yeah,
I mean I took the international factor into account, so
it's it's not bad. I don't there's really no equivalent
to this here to the other.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
One that looked very similar to the flakes. The flakes
are very flavorful. The flakes are really sweet and I
really like them.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, I mean this, and I'm guessing that this is
made over there, yes, yeah, not imported, I don't think so.
It's yeah UK, Yeah, so it's made over in the UK.

Speaker 4 (07:48):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
All right, So that was that was all right? Let's
see the let me see those nuggets.

Speaker 4 (07:56):
We want the nuggets the underneath here, how many cereals
there are. There's Devil Dogs, Little Mermaid cereal, more of
those snoop cereal?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
That how you go back and have more of the ones? Yeah,
not really. Well, Danielle will come in and pick every
once in a while, so say which one, which one's
not stale? You know, She'll go and and grab some.
But I'm still trying to figure out what to do
with them. I mean, I don't want to throw them
out because I feel like it's wasteful. I want to
keep the boxes.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
I told him he should make a blanket, but he
said that would be a very hard blanket.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
A blanket from the cereal, or make a big poster board. Yeah,
there's so much, and I would have to keep swapping
them out. I don't I just don't know.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
What to do with it. Now. Is this?

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Did you have that one granola one?

Speaker 2 (08:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, you know, listen, I.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
I do listen, but I'm a little behind.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I see Okay, all right, so golden nuggets. This is Nestli.
So Neslie does not make cereals over here in the States.
Uh Nesslie's also owned the license to many cereals that
you see here, like you might see cheerios or something
over there, and it will be made by Nesley. You
know it's not I don't believe that General Mills is
a cereal company in the UK. General Mills, right, So

(09:04):
so what Nesslie will do is you know in different
countries they put their name on on stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
And here's a tidbit for you. I love it's not
called Nestle. It's like Nike and Nike in England that's
called right. It's like they make a milky bar, all right,
so it used to be called Nessl's milky bar and
this is Nestle's golden nugget. Interesting, it's the same as
Nike and Nike call.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
And you know it's.

Speaker 1 (09:32):
Isn't really? I thought people just said that, like it's added.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Isa where I had to speak about Adidas and I
had to say and I got corrected eight times?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
Is it over there they have Panasonic?

Speaker 3 (09:45):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
I only say that because do you remember Danielle You
remember back in the day when we were in Secaucus.
So today she was our financial person over there. I
don't know if you remember her, but her car broke
down on Meadowland Parkway and the Panasonic building was over there,
so we're like, where are you will come help you
by And we had we had no idea where she
We didn't know what she was talking about. So you know,

(10:10):
all right, all right, all right, he's got a Vegas
flare to it. Golden nuggets again, no smell. No, it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
They look like there there looks like a distant cousin
of like Captain Crunch stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Very good could be there, like smaller cap'n crunches.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Cereal.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
Trust me, I've had you guys as well with me
all over in England.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
Spencer could be our best listener. His mom works here
and doesn't listen to us.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
I do listen. I just don't listen to podcasts as much.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
You know.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
I listened to my audible books.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
There you go, Spenny, we'd like to reuse the spoons,
if you don't mind. Is that your one? Danielle, Here
you go, I'm gonna do that for you. I just
got milk all over my hand. But it's okay. It
smells good in a couple of hours, yeah, okay. Nestle

(11:07):
Nestle's golden nugget, hm hm hmmm. I tend to find
that the flavor is just not there with all these
cereals like corn pops. Yeah it is like corn, but
not as sweet. Not as sweet, yeah, not as sweet.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
But I you know what, I don't want this one.
I think it's better than the other one.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
This one needs marshmallows.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Everything needs marshmallows. But the world is a better place
with marshmallows in it.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Oh yeah, the they when I was going through Sainsbury's,
they have like a full bag of marshmallows, and I
was like, yeah, yeah, Sainsbury's is like the local grocery
store back there, but you know, I mean past the
island and they had like a bag of marshmallows.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Now do the cereals over there have more? I mean,
are there any marshmallows? Like can you get lucky charms there?

Speaker 2 (11:54):
I don't remember seeing lucky charms, but there might be
some cereals with marshmallows. But what I thought it was
was that you know, they sell it separately, so that
if you want it, then you to the marshmallows.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
But not everybody likes the marshmallow. And just like we
have the isle of imports here that has all the
Cadbury stuff and whatever, is there?

Speaker 2 (12:09):
An is there a funny for the American import aisle.
It's there's some stores dedicated to American imports and they're.

Speaker 1 (12:16):
Filled with people.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Yeah, it's really, it's like and it's like the normal things,
like the everyday things that you have around here. So like,
you know, Laysed potato chips instead of Walkers crisps something like.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
But Walker's is the same logo, right, I love that
the same company probably if they can use the same
logos for lay zones it somehow. All right, I'm I'm
I'm gonna go two bowls and a spoon on this one.
Don't love it doesn't have much flavor, the textures is eh.

Speaker 4 (12:41):
I'm giving it two spoon as well.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Okay, what do you think, I'm gonna say three bowls.
I like the first one better, but this is very
corn poppy.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Yeah, I'm gonna go three bowls on that. Ye, I
like it better than the first one.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
I feel like Sheldon is not a very sweet guy.
You are, you're a sweetheart, but I feel you don't
like sweets. I agreed.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
Yeah, And if you give him sweet and savory together,
like if I have like if I have a if
I have a waffle and I put sometimes I'll put
my frieda egg and then I'll pour syrup. He's like
so disgusted. Do not like sweet flavor? Oh yes, but
yet he'll have a pickled onion and think it's the

(13:23):
best thing.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
But don't mix the sweet.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
So good, so good.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
That's how you grew up. I guess, all right, awesome,
So we'll be back with one of my cereals right
after this. It's the right thing to do. Nice and
we're bad.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Wow that was quick. Well.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
I usually I like to have that that sounder, but
Andrew never put it back in, so I just have
to play a random thing every time, you know, we
go to break so especially knows that. Of course. All right,
So I don't have a new American cereal today, but
I did find a cereal in Trader Joe's couple of
days ago. I don't shop there much, but this one
just kind of stood out because the name of the

(14:04):
cereal just reminded me of Andrew for some reason. So
go down to the cereal sack.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Here he's drop.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
So these are tiny fruity cuties. I don't know, but
I saw it. I was like, oh, thats right, But
it looks like tricks because for a minute tricks had
the fruit shaped pieces. I don't even know if they're
balls again now or if they're back to the fruit shape.
But so this looks like a very bland looking tricks

(14:35):
and so, you know, you get it a Trader Joe,
so you kind of think maybe it's a little bit healthier,
but it has all the same It has cane sugar though,
which is good. It doesn't have you know that, right, yeah,
all the bad sugars. I like the box art. It's pretty.
The box itself is awful. It's awful because I've already
torn it.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
The glue is very box etiquette.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
This is this is a flimsy box. This is a
flimsy box. The over these boxes are pretty flimsy to
I'm sorry you keep it clean. Nothing was clean. Flimsy boxes.
They're terrible, you know. So these look like it looks
like moons moons, and they look like it smells like medicine, right,

(15:17):
maybe not it's vitamins that or Saint Joseph's chewabowl.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah, do you remember as a kid Saint Joseph's the
chewabyls that was chalky, but every kid had them, I
don't think so they have Saint Joseph. But I don't
know if they still make those kids chewable ones because
we used to eat those like candy. Yeah, it probably
should not have that an aspergum? Do you remember aspergum?
Everybody who's always chewing aspergum in school? What's aspergum? Oh,
he's not here, Andrew. You know, Andrew's off to bigger

(15:48):
and better. So maybe we'll see him again. Maybe we don't.

Speaker 4 (15:51):
You say that every time? Thank you?

Speaker 1 (15:55):
This is very citrusy. Yeah, so this is a podcast
that pressed in. Your other son does not listen to
no No.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
Because were you.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Chewing his mouth wide open like a horn.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
I had avocado and I had onion, and I felt
like I didn't want to offend anyone, so I was chewing.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
How did he grow up in that house? Because he.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
Doesn't eat in another room. He doesn't eat with me,
and he doesn't eat with my mom.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yes, all right, so there are moons, different color moons
and some things and yeah, okay, here we go. M
I like it. It tastes like it tastes just a
little bit like tricks, but it tastes much more natural.
It almost tastes like a little bit of juice. At first,
this reminds me of fruit loops.

Speaker 2 (16:47):
But yeah, especially like because in fruit loops the milk
like soaks into the fruit loop and then when you
crunch into the fruit loop like explodes with like is
fruit like milk.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
But that's that's that one's very fake though, like fruit
lipsirts artificially everything.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
I don't like the aftertaste of this.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
I'll allow you to say captain because you know you're
from over there. No, it's okay, it's all right, you
get a pass. Plus you're not Andrew. I only don't
so sweet and corn and oat cereal naturally flavored with
other natural flavors. I like that, so corn flour, cane sugar,
corn meal, old flour, canola, blah blah blah blah blah,

(17:29):
vegetable juice for color. It's it's all natural, which is nice.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
I don't like it.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
You don't like it. Oh, it's a product of Canada.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
For me, that's sweet.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
I'm giving it four balls. I'm giving a Yeah, I
like it. I think it's good. It's a fruit cereal
and it's naturally flavored. There's there's not crap in it, really,
I mean cane sugar, mm hmm better than the other two.
It's a two for me.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
Scut, I'm gonna go four bowls.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah right, ma'am. Yeah, job, it was really good, my ma'am.
There you go all right. So, I mean, look, I
think that was a very exciting episode. Yeah, I thank
you very much, Thank you amazing. Yeah, I love it.
You put in your suitcase. How'd you get here?

Speaker 2 (18:14):
Well, we sent it back with well, I brought it
home in the suitcase last time I was there the vaults.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Since then, it's it's been in our Cereal vault at home.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Well, I mean it's great. The boxes aren't crushed. Did
a very nice job job.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
Yeah, would you have eaten it if we brought you
back crush boxes?

Speaker 1 (18:28):
I would have eat I would not have eaten it
