Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey Andy, oh hi Scott, welcome to serial Killer. This
off what told everyone you were pre recording? We always
pre record. It's never live. Yeah, but you don't want
people to know that we do like two at a time. Whatever. Hey,
it's serial Killers. This the podcast where we talk about cereal.
We eat it, we try it to see whether you
should do the same. So that's our tagline. And we

(00:21):
also think inside the box, thinking the outside the box
is dumb. You won't be any cereal there, it's all
inside it, yeah, you know.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Or maybe you open the bag in a dumb way
and now they're cereal all over the place.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
All over the inside of the box. Yeah, not good.
Where the prize used to be in the eighties, Yeah,
on the inside of the box, remember those days, I do,
because they were in the bag and you'd have to
reach all the way in the bottom. Cereal everywhere, puffed
the box out. But then they started putting it in
between the bag and the box, so you just reach in,
grab it, doink, steal it, yep, everything, you know. Sometimes
they used to be open boxes in the supermarket on

(00:54):
the shelf with the flap open, not the bag open,
the flap because someone stole the prize out. Yeah. Those
Garfield bike reflectors, dude, those were the shizz I'm telling you.
I remember that I had an orange one in my bicycle.
The eyes were the reflectors.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
They did computer discs in some of them where you
could like test out the Scholastic games and like other
ones really Poppies no Flop CD. It was a CD, yeah,
and I loved it. It's like you got to play
like ten minutes of a computer game.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
It was great. I feel like those were usually like
on the back of the box in like a weird
little thing that would open. No, it was inside the bag, huh.
It was like inside the box between the bag. Yeah.
Now serial prizes are like, here's a guy in this
QR code for more fun. You get a digital coupon.
I like that. Oh I want a coupon. Okay, Well,

(01:43):
they used to print the coupons on the box and
you have to cut it. But the mom would cut
into the bag and every cereal everywhere. Well, I said
the mom. Well, I mean traditionally in the eighties, the
mom would cut the coupons. Right. Sorry, you just took
this someplace and nobody said anyone argument. I envisioned somebody like,
why only moms cut the coupons? Oh I hear it?

(02:03):
Who I just envisioned it. I'm in the room with you. No,
once this is posted, people are going to comment, oh,
only moms can cut coupons. No, I'm a dad and
I do as well.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, if you remember the last episode, you said you
don't know where to find any of the comments.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
I'm just you're going to read them to me at
some point, okay, on the Spotify.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Well, if you are the one person who read it
and got offended by that, we apologize.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
Yeah, everyone can cut coupon, not really anymore, they don't
really have them. That was scary. We could have been
canceled for that, right really, thank god for now they're
all digital. Yeah. AnyWho, so this is going to be
an episode of all weird store brand type cereals. Okay,
so they're not they're not major super what do you

(02:44):
call it? No? No, No, they're not major like brands. Yeah,
I mean major brands, major brands. Yeah, I mean one
of them maybe is, but not really. I'm a great
value is Walmart is Walmart? But that's a store. Yeah,
so you wouldn't find a great value. And you know Target,
So this is exclusive to stores only. They're not major brands.

(03:04):
How about that? They're not to general mills, your catalogs,
your post, what else? Come on your dad the Quaker?
Very good? Okay, you are like in.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Your own like a jo V Lane and I'm just
with you for the ride because you're talking real quick anyway.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
So this is the latest and great value? Is that
what I think it is? I don't know. Is that
candy corn? No? For the fall of what I found?
These are jetpuff candy corn marshmallows. They're marshmallows. Okay. I
was giving them to Danielle, but she didn't come in today.
I bet you could put those in cereal. Yeah, I
bet you could. They are marshmallows. Look at this? What

(03:47):
is it? It's red velvet cake. Oh fine, limited edition.

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Here's the thing, right, velvit cake requires cream cheese for
the frosting. Yeah, so how are you gonna make that
in cereal form? This is powder powdered, cream cheese powdered.
You really think that great value? Cereals use chocolate mix
and cream cheese powder?

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Yes? Okay, why I'll make sure to really taste for it.
It says naturally flavored. So what about a powder of
cream cheese? The powdered milk is powdered milk because it's
just powder form. Okay, look, yellow corn flour, sugar, whole grain,
oat flour, canola and or soybean oil. How do you

(04:28):
not know which one? I'm just curious. Corn syrup, de
germed corn meal, salt, cocoa process with alkali, cornstarch, palm oil,
natural flavor. And Red forty is that the outlawed one?
Red forty? I think it is. So we'll get cancer
from this box, yeah, and then pretty soon it won't
be in here anymore. I don't actually think I think

(04:48):
it's one of the single digits. Oh it's not Red forty.
I think forty might be. Okay, hey it smells cream cheesy.
No it doesn't. That smells like chocolates like cream cheese
to me. Okay, a big old of tempty? What's tempty?

Speaker 2 (05:03):
I'm again just your passenger as you're barreling down the highway.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
Well outside of this market. People, Really, I don't think
know what tempty is tempty? Cream cheese was originally made
by Breakstones might still be and it was in that
pink container. When I was a kid, it was cardboard.
Now it's plastic. Oh cool. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Red forty die is not outlawed at the federal level,
but California is phasing it out of it's using schools.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Because everything in California causes camp.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Red Die forty is controversial due's concerns about hyperactivity, behavioral problems,
and children. Okay, all right, we're gonna use the two
percent lactaid extra calcium, andrew, because I want your bones
to be strong.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Thanks. Isn't there already a lot of calcium and milk? Yeah,
so you need extra calcium. That's like overload. That's like
taking two multiple vitamins in a day, multi vitamins multi Wait,
this is multi shot for multiple. So so centium is
a multiple vitamin, yes, but they call them multi vitamins.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yes, because they put all the vitamins into one.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
I've never heard anybody say a multiple vitamin yes, because
that sounds dumb. So you just say a multi vitamin.
All right, let's see what this is all about. Ooh, hey, man,
that tastes like red velvet cake. It does. I'm serious.
Are you not tasting it? No? Are you nuts? This

(06:30):
doesn't taste bro this tastes like red velvet cake. Hmm,
do you like red velvet cake? Yeah, but this is
this doesn't taste anything like that. Oh my god, it
does cream cheese, red chocolate. Everything red is now just

(06:52):
a flavor. Yeah great, Yeah, I taste red. Well, that's good.
Four bowls.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Honestly, it just tastes like a like a sweetened loop
of sorts.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Most it's not bad. I'm just gonna give it like
three bowls. Okay. It kind of misses the mark on
the red velvet taste for me. Listen, I'm a red
velvet fan. My favorite red velvet cake is from California
Pizza Kitchen. They only have it seasonally. But this tastes
like red velvet cake. If you're a fan, I would
try this. It does not if I'm wrong, you know what?
I would like someone to try this and let us
know who's wrong. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
If I gave you a blind taste test and said, okay,
tell me what flavor it is, red velvet not even
a shot that somebody would get that.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Are you a condo sore? Because I am dude.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
You went to the California Pizza Kitchen. You're not a
cond of sore. I am velvet cake.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I am. I can eat a tub of cream cheese
frosting right here, right now, so good? Who challenged you
to do that? I'm just saying how much I love it?
It's delicious. Also, what does that have to do with
a red velvet cake? Huh? What does that have to
do with you? This tasting like a red there's no
cream cheese petty crocker all day. I'll just spoon it
out for breakfast again. Who's asking you to do that?

(08:02):
But it tastes like it? How it tastes like the frosting.
It's neither chocolatey enough. Try the milk, drink the milk
guarantees the frosting. Mm hm no yeah, still no, all right, whatever,
bro will agree to disagree on this one. Yeah, and
everything else in life.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
There's nothing that tastes like red velvet. It's sweet and
it's good, but it is not red velvet.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
My chest hurts. Maybe it's the red forty, Maybe your hyperactivity.
I don't know. All right, Shall we move on? Please?
Did you want to do Millville or Kiggins? Next Kiggins Kiggens? Yeah,
the Kiggins I'm pretty sure is also Matt Nelson. Thanks Pal,
I have to shake this one up. I don't even

(08:49):
have the thing. So do you want to like show
the box you usually do. It's Kiggins Country crunchy granola
raisin brand, are you okay? No, thank you? I don't know.
I don't know where it's sold, so kickins. Kiggins is
one of those brands where it is a store brand,

(09:11):
but multiple different stores in that particular conglomerate will sell it. Cool.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
So, yeah, this is Kiggins, and it's got the big
barcode at the bottom.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Which generally is reserved for an all ther legal, which
is what we're gonna do next. Millville, Millville, Millville is legal? Yeah,
I think, yeah it is. No, it's not. It's all
the Holy health. Okay. It just looks failed pretty good. Oh,
it's a reason brand. How can it stink? It smells

(09:43):
like cardboard? I don't know. Well, it's because you were
You weren't sniffing the cereal, you were sniffing the box. Yeah,
it kind of smells like Plato. You did a terrible open.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
Well, considering my alternative was to have you just bumbling
all over the place.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
Okay, So it's got your flakes and your little granola chunks.
So this is I mean, this is the equivalent to
the Kellogg's. It's just the rip.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
Yeah, I mean they even use the same font for
reasons and.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Color and everything. Yeah, but no sugar raisins.

Speaker 2 (10:12):
We know.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
I'm not a fan of because I need all the
sugar I could possibly get. Yeah, No, for sure, you
do two percent lactate, Andrew, thank you, welcome. I like
using the lactate because it doesn't hurt my stomach, because
the regular milk coats your stomach, Andrew, please, sometimes it does.
I don't know that it ever has. You've never called
me from your house. Goal we should have recorded three
episodes come out on the bowl, Like, never ever to

(10:36):
have happened. Would I ever tell you about my bowel movements? Well,
if you were having trouble with them because of the milk,
you would have said, can we please use lactose free
milk from now on? If I ever said that to
you, you would have been like, absolutely not. You don't even
know if I have a coupon, Yes, I'm fine with
last new dude, we use lactose free all the time. Okay,
here we go. Hmm, there's a little bit of molasses

(11:01):
in there. I bet raisins are much chewy, but good.
It's not a bad rip off. No, the flakes are okay.
I like the flake. Mm hmmm. Three balls in this
poom for me. On this one, I was gonna say
the same from the crunchy granola raisin Bram. That's nice.

(11:24):
It's a good source of fibers. So that will also
help you on the ball. Andrew, Oh, well, thank you
so much for announcing that to the entire world. Scott,
no problem, it'll just cancel out the lactose. Oh yeah,
for sure, so you're good. Thanks. All right, I got
nothing here? So uh will we sing a song together? No?
What song did you want to sing? You pick, I'll
sing it with you, and I'm not We're just gonna
take a break and I'm gonna pick any sound effect

(11:47):
you're ready tell me to stop, and I'm just gonna
say stop, stop, see what it is right back wherever
I like. I'm gonna write down twelve o six so
much I want to say before we get into the episode.

(12:10):
I saw into the episode. We're almost done.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh yeah, sorry. I saw Darren Feffer when I was
in Vegas.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
For the Good dude. Man, what a good guy.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
And we were in an elevator and he stopped there
was it was after night one and there was a
very drunk woman on the elevator with us.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Yeah, and she was like, are you working?

Speaker 2 (12:30):
And Darren was like yes, and he was like, do
you know of the show? Do you know of iHeart?
Do you know they have a lot of podcasts. Do
you know there's one where they just eat cereal?

Speaker 1 (12:41):
And it was fun. He was playing it off and
then one was like, oh, do you know that Darren
is one of the best human beings that there is? Yeah, yeah,
one of He's very nice, he's a good dude, and
he's a big fan of this podcast. So shout out
to Darren driving in your car right now to go
pick up something important. I don't know. Thanks picking up
the important things. That's right, seven o six. Anyway, let's

(13:03):
get out to the next one. That's another number that
means nothing but to the kids something. Yeah, it definitely
riz exactly. Are you infected? Nope, that's how it healed.
That's what happens when you guys all make fun of me.
Liver spots. It's not a liver spot. It's it's a
scar now from the fall, and you guys make fun
when I wrap it and ooze it and all this
stuff and put things on it, and you're like, oh, oh,

(13:26):
everything hurts. But now look what happened because you guys
made fun of me. That's because of you guys, I've
got a scar for life, a scar for life. Well,
I guess technically that's redundant, because scars are for life.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Okay, so that's our faults for speaking that into existence. Yes, okay, No, No,
you're totally right, And that's very very practical because if.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
You and Gandhi and Diamond wouldn't all make fun of
me every time I come in with a bandage on
it or a wrap on it or something. Because now
the sun got to it and it destroyed it. So
that's you didn't take care of it. Oh, I took
care of it, but you made fun of me, so
I felt I felt pressured to not take care of it.
That's right. So you didn't take care of your own body,
and it's my fault, it is. Oh, Oh, I have

(14:08):
to wrap it on. I need first aid.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
Maybe you have to go to the hospital. Oh, i'moulda
send you a picture from the emergency room. I don't
need that all day, so I'm just gonna not do anything.
And now Scar, it's fine.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Dude, blame hates to see you coming. Whatever. I should
sue you for destroying my body. Oh okay, yeah, it's
gonna go far and court cuts. Yeah, well, I'll get
a one of those judges that's very sympathetic. No, one
won't be sympathetic.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
The minute you hit the stand, they'd be like, actually,
he needs a mental hospital.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I'll show videos and pictures from this whole place that
we work in, and I'll say, oh, I get it. Yeah, damages.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Well, once I show him some of the pictures and
video I have from you, then he'll be like, oh
yeah again, mental hospital.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Wait what do I do? Doctor? He escaped straight jacket?
Literally take them away tuts. All right, So here's your
aldi uh store brand Millville cool from Aldy honey crunching oats.
That would be your what do you think equivalent honey
bunches of oats from posts? Oh good man? Oh, because

(15:12):
it says it right there. It does. Yeah, it does
a lot of times they have to say it. It
doesn't what it doesn't say it at all.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
This one doesn't No, usually, it would say compare to
if I never said that, then these people watching would
have been.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Like, antsy does nothing and just gone with you? Who
not gonna lie? Has been entirely erratic this whole episode. Yeah,
something's wrong with me. I think I probably from the scar. No,
for sure. Anyway, it looks like honey bunches of oats.
It's got the flakes, it's got the clusters and the
little pieces of oat. Here you go, that's for you. Thanks. Cool.

(15:53):
One smells like coconut, just like the other one. Remember, yeah,
for sure, I had a very strong coconut flavor. But
what what why do you shake your head? It's coconut?

(16:18):
Clean yourself? Are you what are you doing? It's a coconut.
I can't swallow it. There's no coconut. Oh there is.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Not.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
Once did I think to myself that tastes like coconut.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
It smells like coconut, and to tastes like coconut. There
is no coconut in this at all. By the way,
last week I smashed a coconut open with a hammer
and the inside went all over me. What spilled it
all over me? I was drinking it like it was
going all over me like a baby.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
Cool.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
I love thanks for that aside, But I love the
coconut water or milk or whatever it is inside. I
love it. You remember whoever they came to visit, they
left a coconut out front. I brought it home. Oh,
I smacked it with a hammer and the stuff went everywhere.
But I tried to drink it cool, and then I
ate the meat because I love fresh coconut. Great, No,
for sure, look like so this cereal was pretty good?

(17:20):
I like it. Yeah, I'm gonna give it. I think
four bowls. That was sweet.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
It doesn't taste like coconut, and it's uh for a
store brand, pretty good.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
I'm gonna give it four balls as well. I bet
you're this coconut in here? I literally not even too soon.
You read it. It said there's no coconut. It's gotta be.
I think you read it wrong. The cinnamon, honey? What
is that cinnamon? Honey? I can't see anymore. I think
it's coconut in here.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Are you gonna clean up your chunks of whatever all
over your keyboard that's discussed?

Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah no, because it's not gonna work tomorrow morning when
I try to do the show because it's coconut inside
the button.

Speaker 2 (17:56):
There's no coconut. There's no coconut. We've explained it like
four times.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Anyway, Hey, this has been fun. Thanks for listening to

You made me laugh. I don't know how. I just

there's no coconut. It tastes, it tastes like it. If
you buy this, if you've had the cereal, please let
me know.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Let's let's like swap right M If I were to
say that, how would you have acted?

Speaker 1 (18:36):
I would have said, you're right, No, how do you.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Normally act whenever I say, oh, this tastes like this?
Yeah no, no, right, impossible.

Speaker 1 (18:45):
But but that's because your palate must be broken because
it's legit.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
You thought that the fake red velvet cereal that should
taste like a chocolate cake with cream cheese icing. It
did tasted like that. It did in no way, shape
or form. Did that taste like red velvet cake? Okay,
now you're convinced that this honey crunch and.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Notes with almonds when it has no coconut. I don't
think it's me. I think it might be you. It's
in there somehow. Okay, you know what, I think I
can sue them because they didn't list it in the ingredients.
