I don't do you guys you like to eat? Don't

(00:23):
it's me. I missed your birthday last week. My apologies.
Happy birthday, Andrew. I hope it was wonderful. Hope you
got everything you wanted and more. I did you did? Yeah?
What'd you get? You know? The things? Okay, AirPods got it?
Actually I played that because we are celebrating a birthday
this year, but it's somewhat controversial. Actually, first of all,
(00:45):
can we just do this real quick? I know you
gotta start with something you don't like the songs. Let's
just play this. This is serial Killers. Blah blah blah. Okay,
welcome to serial Killers. Got to get past it because
we're celebrating a very important birthday. Is it Chip? Chip?
Is it Chip? You mean the wolf? Yeah? Or you
(01:12):
said it? Man?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I didn't literally anything that's just chipped. Like if I
say potato Chip, are you gonna play it?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Sorry? What about like someone's name Chip whose name is.
There are a couple of people I've known some chips.
Card I love potato chips. All right, stops, just stop,
just stop, so listen. It's a really important celebration. Andrew.
We got this in the mail. Okay, Yeah, I'm sorry.
I hate when people say that it wasn't the mail.
It was shipped to us because it came via UPS. Okay.
(01:44):
You know people say, oh, I'm going to mail you
a package. You're only mailing it if you're using USPS,
the post Office. That's the mail. Such a little thing
that only it is, but it irritates me anyway. So
we got this box and this nice little letter from
oh my gosh, I know what this one is from
our friend Matt yeah at Post. Okay, and move on
(02:05):
to the moving on MEMI because we got a package
from Post. Yeah, dude, these little rinky dink serial podcasts
with like ten followers, they're on all the lists from
all these companies and they get everything. Because here's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
We are going to start writing emails to these people
saying thank you so much, we'd love to be on
your list.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Surf wait, and that's how you get things. But I'm
not going to be a jerk, but how does okay
we're not a wildly successful serial podcast. I mean, we
have a lot of listeners and a lot of followers
by now, how does like serial companies not have heard
of us?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Because think about it, they are an advertising agency or
marketing agency.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It's not you're you're reaching out to like Kellogg. I understand.
Kellogg hasn't reached out to me. I understand. Now they
need to deal with the sanitarium. I understand that. But
there's got to be like some young you have to
do the legwork and email them and just ask them
to put us on our list. I get it, but
there must be some young go get her at Kellogg's
like Biff, who is like, you know, I heard this
(03:03):
Cereal Killers podcast, dude, and let's send them stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
No, because we don't do any advertising, so we need
to start doing that too.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Hello. I said that months ago, months ago, And then
anytime I ever asked you, hey, Scott, can we do
a commercial? Can't? Andy, I'm busy. Not a commercial, but
just just just to hit the little click link on
faithbook that says do you want to boost this post
twenty bucks? Yes? Boost it, so then do it well
because you don't have Facebook anymore. No, Okay, can we
get to the cereal? This is really exciting for me. Great,
(03:31):
you know what it is? What is it?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's the fruity, It's the it's the Pebbles fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's the birthday cake Pebbles Andrew, which I'm not gonna like.
Why won't you like it? I don't like birthday cake.
It's not a real flavor, okay, but you might like
the taste even though you don't like the name. Yes, right,
Happy birthday Pebbles. You're fifty. But but as far as
I know, okay, Pebbles as they were called when they
first came out of the Fruity variety, but it was
(03:58):
the only one, so it was just called Pebbles with
Fred and Barney came out in nineteen sixty nine, oh wow.
And then Coco Pebbles followed in nineteen seventy. So that
would be like fifty one or fifty two years old. Yeah,
so I'm not sure where the fifty is coming from,
but I'll accept it. And I thank you very much
friends at Post for sending us this box of birthday cake. Pebbles.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, you know what, I take back what I say.
I'm actually very excited for this one.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
No, no, no, you don't have to be excited just because
they said to us you might not like it. You
don't like the name. I know that because birthday cake
to you could be many, many different flavors. The box
is very shiny, and I like that it is. I
do love it. Collector is fifty. Oh we shouldn't open this.
It's the Collector's edition. Wow. Great, So now we're going
to open up something that could make us money. Look
on the back, can you unscramble those words? Andrew? Uh? Happape?
(04:45):
What do you think it is? Yeah? Uh yea happy
rib tar and habit rib the Yeah? Yeah do you
think it's happy birth That's a tough one. I don't
know happy birthday. Fred and Barney are so excited on there. Yeah,
daba delicious is what I say? Can you just not
say that ever? Again, it's in the commercials. I wouldn't
(05:06):
have said it if it wasn't in the commercials. I
got it. I need to start seeing some more cereal commercials. Well,
I mean I used to play a bunch of pebbles
commercials from the eighties. You know Barney was always trying
to dress up and get friend's pebbles. Yeah yeah, Bonnie,
Well he would figure it out and get pissed off
my pebbles. I'm excited for this one. We're the Spoons.
(05:27):
We're more excited for this one than I once was.
I mean, look, it's wonderful of them to have sent
it to us ahead of time. You can't get this
in the store. Maybe right about now you can, because
I believe it's supposed to be released late last month
or early this month, which is May. Can you believe
that we're in May? I know this year's been flying by,
Holy hell on a hand basket. Here you go, buddy. Well,
(05:48):
hopefully this summer is better than last summer. Yeah, well
you ready? One? Two?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It smells nice? Oh do you know what it smells like?
Hold on, I need to take a break for one
second and say this. It smells like my fave rice
Krispy treat Cereal.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Okay, oh look if they're and look they're lighter colored,
they're like Pastelle. I can't really do it because I'm
gonna ump milk. Look at that, Andrew. Yeah, there you go.
They're pastels. They're yellow and blue and pink run sprinkles three.
I mean they taste just like I would have expected
androids pittrich cereal. Not really yes really yes no, yes,
(06:27):
oh my god. I love all pebbles except the peanut
butter chocolate one. So these are really good, very sweet
tastes like you're sticking your finger and some dunk and
hinds frosting. But that's probably what it's supposed to taste like.
I'm having a meltdown. This is this is it? This
is what went missing from my life is Iris Christy Trees.
I have to say I'm a way bigger fan of
(06:49):
cocoa pebbles. I like this. I wish we had something
between four bowls and four bawls and a spoon. Do
we still do the Demi like? Is it four balls
and a Demi spoon? And we don't do that? Now?
All right, I'm gonna go first, if you want, I'll
go four balls on it. I like it, four balls,
five balls. I bet the milk is delicious too. This
thank you so much for bringing back they didn't it tastes?
(07:11):
Not Rice Krisbey Tree. It is. It tastes exactly like one,
but there's no clusters. There doesn't need to be. You
remember how they got rid of it and then switched
to the new formula that no one likes, that didn't
taste anything like Rice Krispy Tree exactly, but this does.
That's what I'm trying to say, you know, speaking of
Rice Krispy Tree cereal that is gone from our lives,
Lucky charms. You keep seeing these pictures of Lucky Charms online,
(07:32):
of the Marshmallow Cluster cereal that's supposed to be just
like Rice Krispy Treat cereal, and I'm not sure if
it is a myth or a legend or what, because
the picture of the box is out there. It's a
turquoise box and I posted it a while back. But
then I reached out to them and like, we don't
know what you're talking about, because they said they had
this big thing coming soon and they're just galactic. Have
you seen the galactic Lucky Charms. No, I don't look
(07:52):
at social media. I don't follow any cereal accounts, but
so there's galactic yucky Yuky charms. Small stroke. I really am,
but that's not funny, Andrew, I've seen a.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Bunch of tiktoks where people do exactly what you did
and say that, and so I think it is kind.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Of humor issue. No, I know it's okay, I guess,
just not when it, you know. Anyway, So I think
that the new galactic Lucky Charms. I haven't tried them yet.
I think they just have some different marshmallows and there's
some sparkle in them or something like that. But I'm
sure it tastes just the same. We'll get to it
at some point. So four balls for me on the
eye balls, I actually cleaned out. You could even use
your cup again, that's how clean it is. That was delicious.
(08:29):
Congratulations Andrew. I love that, and thank you Matt. They
were Yaba dabba delicious.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
What what I just I'm not gonna humor that, Yeah,
daba delicious.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I'm not looking for humor, Andrew. That was the whole
ad campaign in the eighties and early nineties. Yabba daba delicious. Really,
I think it's just the the zest that you put
into it. I didn't make it up, I trust me.
I know you wouldn't. There was one day that Fred
was at the quarry and the little Whistle blew, and
he was so excited for his Pebble cereal and he screamed,
(09:03):
yabadaba delicious. It would be great if you could play
the commercial right now. I've played the commercial. I know
it just would be nice to go back to that.
I over wrote it in the system. I don't have
it anymore. You don't know how the system works. Hey,
guess what YouTube? Search Pebbles commercials and you'll get a
whole slew of them. Okay, love you though? Should we
move on to Cereal too? If you're watching it on YouTube?
(09:25):
I guess just close out of our window right now
and go do a new one?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Do you want the legal knockoff? Or do you want
the one in the bag? Leedle the legal knockoff? Okay?
This is from the box Olegle again from a listener
who I have since forgotten. My apologies, but I did
give you a shout the first one or two times
because I knew your name. Then I forgot. Sorry. How
you're like, I organize it? I write everyone's name on
my I did, but I did. I write them on
the first box, and then I forget the rest.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You don't think that maybe you should just get stickers
and just like maybe stick them on.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
No, I just write it with a sharpie on top.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, it doesn't seem like your systems working because you're
forgetting what there's things.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So these are gonna be your knockoff corn checks. Okay,
they're corn squares from Leedle. Still most states have Leedles,
but many do not, so you might not know what
I'm talking about. Is l I D L Leedle. It
is some Scandinavian supermarket.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
My friend Nick is obsessed with Leedle, bad meat from them,
so now he's sworn off of Leedle.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh okay, yes, they're a discount grocery chain. Or you
just kind of get what you get. You don't get upset.
That's what they have. Okay, I love that. Yeah, Well,
when you have kids, you'll know what that is because
they always want want, want, want want, and then you say,
you get what you get and you don't get upset,
but they still get upset, especially money. Here you go
Mondy down the city. Ooh, it's almost Cooper's birthday. That's right.
(10:38):
We are how many days away? Like two?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Three?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Sinco to Mayo. Bul Chat is gonna be on Sinco
to mayo. Wow, nice, did you bring your sombrero? Am
I pack it?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Let me?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
All right? Let's go Andrew ready? One? Two, three? Very corny,
very squarrey. It's pretty good. Tastes just like corn checks,
tiny less corny. Yeah, I give this three balls. It's good. Oh.
You know, every time I see corn, I think of
our friend Mariah in Iowa. Was she the one that
sent us? Don't ask me because I don't remember, but
(11:11):
they're good listeners in Iowa and their corn farmers or
their agriculture type people they do things for, like tractors
and farms and stuff. They were the ones that sent
us that box, sure, the football box. I don't know
if it was them. Oh the flakes O.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
No, they were the one that sent us the corn
Cereal with the alien on it, that knows discontinued.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I bought Quisp and it wasn't discontinued. You know nothing
about cereal. Let's move on. I'm going to give this
two balls and three balls. It's three balls. It's sure,
three balls all around. Yeah. Yeah, yep, great corn, great coin.
Oh shucks, sorry, I actually love that so much. Really
(11:52):
that you like that dad joke? You like I'm a
big fan. I have a shirt. I have a shirt
with a corn cob that says shucks, you wear it
next time? Sure? Thank you know what, the next time
we do a corn cereal, I'll wear it. Oh yeah,
it'll remind you. Can you put like a jacket on
and then just like z Yeah, I'd love every minute
of that. Sure, thank you. All right, let's roll out
of cereal three. I found this yesterday in the shop. Right.
(12:13):
There's another shop right that I go to that has
more of a natural aisle or like healthy aisle. They
have more of that kind of cereal that's always like
over five or six dollars a box or bag or whatever. Yeah.
I don't know why I buy it, but you say,
we make so much money, so eventually I'll be able
to pay it back. Well, think about it.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Just this episode alone, you hadn't You didn't buy two
of the cereals. So I'm so sorry that this six
dollars purchase you're going to complain about.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
All right, I've never heard of this brand before, but
they were established in nineteen ninety two and it's called
Bakery on Maine. My guess is, wherever they locally are,
people know who they are. They are from Connecticut. They're
in East Hartford, Connecticut, and there was probably a bakery
at one point, and everyone said, you know you should
bag that and sell it, so here it is okay.
Since nineteen ninety two, we've prided ourselves and our ability
(12:55):
to craft incredibly delicious, gluten free and Celiac friendly granola.
That means this is going to be gross uses in it.
So I'm excited that everyone should be able to enjoy
food that doesn't sacrifice taste for wholesomeness or indulge in
a snack that's filling, nutritious. Blah blah blah. All right,
this is crunchy cluster cranberry almond maple flavor granola with
ancient grains. They were born before you and I Andrew.
(13:18):
I just the term ancient grains always cracks me up. Yeah,
they are hold almonds in here. Look at that. There's
like big junk hold almonds. All right. We've had other
cereals that are similar looking to this. I want to
say Nature's Path makes flakes like this. They're like almost
cupped smells. It smells nutty and mapley. Okay, Oh I
(13:40):
didn't shake it, damn it do you want me to
sing your jingle? Yes, please shake your bag. Scotty shakes
he's bad. Scotty hikes bad. Okay, thank you very good?
Is you like that? Yeah? We need some new jingles.
We did to freshen it up a bit. Some spice, sure,
all right. Back to the two percent Horizon Organic Vitamin D.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Milk, which in the last episode Scottie criticized for being puffy.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh, it's not puffy anymore because it's opening and has
been used.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, because we're definitely not recording this same day. Nope,
I don't know if I got any cranberries.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You did, I saw a bunch of them. Dump in,
dip the spoon to the bottom. Oh, there she is,
one two three. This reminds me of the Fireman cereal.
Remember that one engine two, whatever the hell it was called.
You could definitely break a tooth on this. There's too
much whole almonds are very qunchy and you're not expecting them.
(14:38):
It's okay. It kind of feels like I'm fighting a
battle in my mouth. To me, this is more of
a cereal than it is granola. Oh yeah, look for
a gluten free cereal. Although there are a lot of
gluten free cereal. So that doesn't even make sense, Like
most checks are gluten free. So I don't know. It's
not awful, No, but I don't know what is teeth
or tef? What is that? Oh, there's beans in here too,
(15:00):
millet tef and navy bean real maple syrup. I didn't
taste any maple syrup. I gotta be honest with you.
Multi grain and bean crisps.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Hmmm, all right, so let me tell you something. The
crispy parts, these little suckers are somewhat maplely. But this
this is my problem.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
There's sunflower season. I gotta tell you, do not put
a full almond in cereal. Don't do it. There's full
almonds in the Wild Terra and you loved it. And
there's full almonds in the Morning Summit and you loved it.
So take that back. It just depends on the cereal
that it's in.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Okay, fine, If you're gonna make a cereal with full almonds,
don't make your other things.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
So crunchy, yeah, because then it's like a war. There
were a couple of different bakery on mains that I
could have chosen. I took this one because I had
the most going on. But I'm going to give it
two bowls in a spoon.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I'm gonna agree with you. I didn't hate it. I
just think it's a complicated cereal.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, there's a lot of unexpected textures in it. A greed. Yes,
you got some seeds.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You got some little bird pellet looking stuff, that's the millet.
You got some cranberries. I love cranberries though.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
By the way, you know there's like a kammut shortage.
What a commut shortage? Well, do you remember that bagged cereal?
It's like that natural crap. There's like wheat puffs and
corn puffs and kamut. Arrowhead Mills makes it. We did
it like a while ago. Yeah, my mom's a big
fan and I brought it home to her. You can't
stringy one, Nope. They're just little little puffed things and
(16:29):
it's usually on the bottom shelf and a bag. Arrowhead
Mills makes it. Can't find it. They've been out of
stock for months months. It's a production problem. Apparently, maybe
there was a big fire at the Arrowhead Mills plant.
I hope not. I hope not too, but I don't
know what's going on. Hey, thanks, for listening to Cereal Killers. Wait,
I thought we were that's oh, that's three. That's three, buddy,
This one whizz right by. Oh wow, how many minutes
(16:51):
was this one like twelve seventeen or so? Oh wow,
not too bad. Gosh, conversation with you has just been
flowing next right, It's right on target. So thanks so much.
I'm sorry we're less angry with each other now. No,
I'm still very angry with you. Why I'm just holding
it in. Oh okay, thank you for listening to Serial Killers.
This has been an episode one seventy seven. Wow, one
seventy seven. It's crazy. It's still remarkable to me. Yeah,
(17:14):
it's kind of amazing. And the fact that we're not
more well known, as you know, we're doing something wrong. Listen.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm proud of what we've accomplished. It's a great starting
point for what can be starting.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It's a very niche, niche, niche, niche, niche, niche, niche show,
like you really got to be into serial to listen
to a serial podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
But to be honest, there's a bunch of people who
also just like our banter, so.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
They don't care about the serial. No, then they should
be listening to goal chat. Well, no, because we're still
chatting in this one. Uh huh, it's the chemistry baby. Okay.
On that note, we're gonna go. Thank you so much.

made that PSA was on drugs so.

(01:44):
You know people say, oh, I'm going to mail you
a package. You're only mailing it if you're using USPS,
the post Office. That's the mail. Such a little thing
that only it is, but it irritates me anyway. So
we got this box and this nice little letter from
oh my gosh, I know what this one is from
our friend Matt yeah at Post. Okay, and move on
(02:05):
to the moving on MEMI because we got a package
from Post. Yeah, dude, these little rinky dink serial podcasts
with like ten followers, they're on all the lists from
all these companies and they get everything. Because here's what's happening.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
We are going to start writing emails to these people
saying thank you so much, we'd love to be on
your list.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Surf wait, and that's how you get things. But I'm
not going to be a jerk, but how does okay
we're not a wildly successful serial podcast. I mean, we
have a lot of listeners and a lot of followers
by now, how does like serial companies not have heard
of us?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Because think about it, they are an advertising agency or
marketing agency.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
It's not you're you're reaching out to like Kellogg. I understand.
Kellogg hasn't reached out to me. I understand. Now they
need to deal with the sanitarium. I understand that. But
there's got to be like some young you have to
do the legwork and email them and just ask them
to put us on our list. I get it, but
there must be some young go get her at Kellogg's
like Biff, who is like, you know, I heard this
(03:03):
Cereal Killers podcast, dude, and let's send them stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
No, because we don't do any advertising, so we need
to start doing that too.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Hello. I said that months ago, months ago, And then
anytime I ever asked you, hey, Scott, can we do
a commercial? Can't? Andy, I'm busy. Not a commercial, but
just just just to hit the little click link on
faithbook that says do you want to boost this post
twenty bucks? Yes? Boost it, so then do it well
because you don't have Facebook anymore. No, Okay, can we
get to the cereal? This is really exciting for me. Great,
(03:31):
you know what it is? What is it?
Speaker 2 (03:32):
It's the fruity, It's the it's the Pebbles fiftieth anniversary.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's the birthday cake Pebbles Andrew, which I'm not gonna like.
Why won't you like it? I don't like birthday cake.
It's not a real flavor, okay, but you might like
the taste even though you don't like the name. Yes, right,
Happy birthday Pebbles. You're fifty. But but as far as
I know, okay, Pebbles as they were called when they
first came out of the Fruity variety, but it was
(03:58):
the only one, so it was just called Pebbles with
Fred and Barney came out in nineteen sixty nine, oh wow.
And then Coco Pebbles followed in nineteen seventy. So that
would be like fifty one or fifty two years old. Yeah,
so I'm not sure where the fifty is coming from,
but I'll accept it. And I thank you very much
friends at Post for sending us this box of birthday cake. Pebbles.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, you know what, I take back what I say.
I'm actually very excited for this one.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
No, no, no, you don't have to be excited just because
they said to us you might not like it. You
don't like the name. I know that because birthday cake
to you could be many, many different flavors. The box
is very shiny, and I like that it is. I
do love it. Collector is fifty. Oh we shouldn't open this.
It's the Collector's edition. Wow. Great, So now we're going
to open up something that could make us money. Look
on the back, can you unscramble those words? Andrew? Uh? Happape?
(04:45):
What do you think it is? Yeah? Uh yea happy
rib tar and habit rib the Yeah? Yeah do you
think it's happy birth That's a tough one. I don't
know happy birthday. Fred and Barney are so excited on there. Yeah,
daba delicious is what I say? Can you just not
say that ever? Again, it's in the commercials. I wouldn't
(05:06):
have said it if it wasn't in the commercials. I
got it. I need to start seeing some more cereal commercials. Well,
I mean I used to play a bunch of pebbles
commercials from the eighties. You know Barney was always trying
to dress up and get friend's pebbles. Yeah yeah, Bonnie,
Well he would figure it out and get pissed off
my pebbles. I'm excited for this one. We're the Spoons.
(05:27):
We're more excited for this one than I once was.
I mean, look, it's wonderful of them to have sent
it to us ahead of time. You can't get this
in the store. Maybe right about now you can, because
I believe it's supposed to be released late last month
or early this month, which is May. Can you believe
that we're in May? I know this year's been flying by,
Holy hell on a hand basket. Here you go, buddy. Well,
(05:48):
hopefully this summer is better than last summer. Yeah, well
you ready? One? Two?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It smells nice? Oh do you know what it smells like?
Hold on, I need to take a break for one
second and say this. It smells like my fave rice
Krispy treat Cereal.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Okay, oh look if they're and look they're lighter colored,
they're like Pastelle. I can't really do it because I'm
gonna ump milk. Look at that, Andrew. Yeah, there you go.
They're pastels. They're yellow and blue and pink run sprinkles three.
I mean they taste just like I would have expected
androids pittrich cereal. Not really yes really yes no, yes,
(06:27):
oh my god. I love all pebbles except the peanut
butter chocolate one. So these are really good, very sweet
tastes like you're sticking your finger and some dunk and
hinds frosting. But that's probably what it's supposed to taste like.
I'm having a meltdown. This is this is it? This
is what went missing from my life is Iris Christy Trees.
I have to say I'm a way bigger fan of
(06:49):
cocoa pebbles. I like this. I wish we had something
between four bowls and four bawls and a spoon. Do
we still do the Demi like? Is it four balls
and a Demi spoon? And we don't do that? Now?
All right, I'm gonna go first, if you want, I'll
go four balls on it. I like it, four balls,
five balls. I bet the milk is delicious too. This
thank you so much for bringing back they didn't it tastes?
(07:11):
Not Rice Krisbey Tree. It is. It tastes exactly like one,
but there's no clusters. There doesn't need to be. You
remember how they got rid of it and then switched
to the new formula that no one likes, that didn't
taste anything like Rice Krispy Tree exactly, but this does.
That's what I'm trying to say, you know, speaking of
Rice Krispy Tree cereal that is gone from our lives,
Lucky charms. You keep seeing these pictures of Lucky Charms online,
(07:32):
of the Marshmallow Cluster cereal that's supposed to be just
like Rice Krispy Treat cereal, and I'm not sure if
it is a myth or a legend or what, because
the picture of the box is out there. It's a
turquoise box and I posted it a while back. But
then I reached out to them and like, we don't
know what you're talking about, because they said they had
this big thing coming soon and they're just galactic. Have
you seen the galactic Lucky Charms. No, I don't look
(07:52):
at social media. I don't follow any cereal accounts, but
so there's galactic yucky Yuky charms. Small stroke. I really am,
but that's not funny, Andrew, I've seen a.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Bunch of tiktoks where people do exactly what you did
and say that, and so I think it is kind.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Of humor issue. No, I know it's okay, I guess,
just not when it, you know. Anyway, So I think
that the new galactic Lucky Charms. I haven't tried them yet.
I think they just have some different marshmallows and there's
some sparkle in them or something like that. But I'm
sure it tastes just the same. We'll get to it
at some point. So four balls for me on the
eye balls, I actually cleaned out. You could even use
your cup again, that's how clean it is. That was delicious.
(08:29):
Congratulations Andrew. I love that, and thank you Matt. They
were Yaba dabba delicious.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
What what I just I'm not gonna humor that, Yeah,
daba delicious.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
I'm not looking for humor, Andrew. That was the whole
ad campaign in the eighties and early nineties. Yabba daba delicious. Really,
I think it's just the the zest that you put
into it. I didn't make it up, I trust me.
I know you wouldn't. There was one day that Fred
was at the quarry and the little Whistle blew, and
he was so excited for his Pebble cereal and he screamed,
(09:03):
yabadaba delicious. It would be great if you could play
the commercial right now. I've played the commercial. I know
it just would be nice to go back to that.
I over wrote it in the system. I don't have
it anymore. You don't know how the system works. Hey,
guess what YouTube? Search Pebbles commercials and you'll get a
whole slew of them. Okay, love you though? Should we
move on to Cereal too? If you're watching it on YouTube?
(09:25):
I guess just close out of our window right now
and go do a new one?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
All right?
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Do you want the legal knockoff? Or do you want
the one in the bag? Leedle the legal knockoff? Okay?
This is from the box Olegle again from a listener
who I have since forgotten. My apologies, but I did
give you a shout the first one or two times
because I knew your name. Then I forgot. Sorry. How
you're like, I organize it? I write everyone's name on
my I did, but I did. I write them on
the first box, and then I forget the rest.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
You don't think that maybe you should just get stickers
and just like maybe stick them on.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
No, I just write it with a sharpie on top.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Well, it doesn't seem like your systems working because you're
forgetting what there's things.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
So these are gonna be your knockoff corn checks. Okay,
they're corn squares from Leedle. Still most states have Leedles,
but many do not, so you might not know what
I'm talking about. Is l I D L Leedle. It
is some Scandinavian supermarket.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
My friend Nick is obsessed with Leedle, bad meat from them,
so now he's sworn off of Leedle.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Oh okay, yes, they're a discount grocery chain. Or you
just kind of get what you get. You don't get upset.
That's what they have. Okay, I love that. Yeah, Well,
when you have kids, you'll know what that is because
they always want want, want, want want, and then you say,
you get what you get and you don't get upset,
but they still get upset, especially money. Here you go
Mondy down the city. Ooh, it's almost Cooper's birthday. That's right.
(10:38):
We are how many days away? Like two?
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Three?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Sinco to Mayo. Bul Chat is gonna be on Sinco
to mayo. Wow, nice, did you bring your sombrero? Am
I pack it?
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Let me?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
All right? Let's go Andrew ready? One? Two, three? Very corny,
very squarrey. It's pretty good. Tastes just like corn checks,
tiny less corny. Yeah, I give this three balls. It's good. Oh.
You know, every time I see corn, I think of
our friend Mariah in Iowa. Was she the one that
sent us? Don't ask me because I don't remember, but
(11:11):
they're good listeners in Iowa and their corn farmers or
their agriculture type people they do things for, like tractors
and farms and stuff. They were the ones that sent
us that box, sure, the football box. I don't know
if it was them. Oh the flakes O.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
No, they were the one that sent us the corn
Cereal with the alien on it, that knows discontinued.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
I bought Quisp and it wasn't discontinued. You know nothing
about cereal. Let's move on. I'm going to give this
two balls and three balls. It's three balls. It's sure,
three balls all around. Yeah. Yeah, yep, great corn, great coin.
Oh shucks, sorry, I actually love that so much. Really
(11:52):
that you like that dad joke? You like I'm a
big fan. I have a shirt. I have a shirt
with a corn cob that says shucks, you wear it
next time? Sure? Thank you know what, the next time
we do a corn cereal, I'll wear it. Oh yeah,
it'll remind you. Can you put like a jacket on
and then just like z Yeah, I'd love every minute
of that. Sure, thank you. All right, let's roll out
of cereal three. I found this yesterday in the shop. Right.
(12:13):
There's another shop right that I go to that has
more of a natural aisle or like healthy aisle. They
have more of that kind of cereal that's always like
over five or six dollars a box or bag or whatever. Yeah.
I don't know why I buy it, but you say,
we make so much money, so eventually I'll be able
to pay it back. Well, think about it.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Just this episode alone, you hadn't You didn't buy two
of the cereals. So I'm so sorry that this six
dollars purchase you're going to complain about.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
All right, I've never heard of this brand before, but
they were established in nineteen ninety two and it's called
Bakery on Maine. My guess is, wherever they locally are,
people know who they are. They are from Connecticut. They're
in East Hartford, Connecticut, and there was probably a bakery
at one point, and everyone said, you know you should
bag that and sell it, so here it is okay.
Since nineteen ninety two, we've prided ourselves and our ability
(12:55):
to craft incredibly delicious, gluten free and Celiac friendly granola.
That means this is going to be gross uses in it.
So I'm excited that everyone should be able to enjoy
food that doesn't sacrifice taste for wholesomeness or indulge in
a snack that's filling, nutritious. Blah blah blah. All right,
this is crunchy cluster cranberry almond maple flavor granola with
ancient grains. They were born before you and I Andrew.
(13:18):
I just the term ancient grains always cracks me up. Yeah,
they are hold almonds in here. Look at that. There's
like big junk hold almonds. All right. We've had other
cereals that are similar looking to this. I want to
say Nature's Path makes flakes like this. They're like almost
cupped smells. It smells nutty and mapley. Okay, Oh I
(13:40):
didn't shake it, damn it do you want me to
sing your jingle? Yes, please shake your bag. Scotty shakes
he's bad. Scotty hikes bad. Okay, thank you very good?
Is you like that? Yeah? We need some new jingles.
We did to freshen it up a bit. Some spice, sure,
all right. Back to the two percent Horizon Organic Vitamin D.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Milk, which in the last episode Scottie criticized for being puffy.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Oh, it's not puffy anymore because it's opening and has
been used.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
Yeah, because we're definitely not recording this same day. Nope,
I don't know if I got any cranberries.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
You did, I saw a bunch of them. Dump in,
dip the spoon to the bottom. Oh, there she is,
one two three. This reminds me of the Fireman cereal.
Remember that one engine two, whatever the hell it was called.
You could definitely break a tooth on this. There's too
much whole almonds are very qunchy and you're not expecting them.
(14:38):
It's okay. It kind of feels like I'm fighting a
battle in my mouth. To me, this is more of
a cereal than it is granola. Oh yeah, look for
a gluten free cereal. Although there are a lot of
gluten free cereal. So that doesn't even make sense, Like
most checks are gluten free. So I don't know. It's
not awful, No, but I don't know what is teeth
or tef? What is that? Oh, there's beans in here too,
(15:00):
millet tef and navy bean real maple syrup. I didn't
taste any maple syrup. I gotta be honest with you.
Multi grain and bean crisps.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Hmmm, all right, so let me tell you something. The
crispy parts, these little suckers are somewhat maplely. But this
this is my problem.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
There's sunflower season. I gotta tell you, do not put
a full almond in cereal. Don't do it. There's full
almonds in the Wild Terra and you loved it. And
there's full almonds in the Morning Summit and you loved it.
So take that back. It just depends on the cereal
that it's in.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Okay, fine, If you're gonna make a cereal with full almonds,
don't make your other things.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
So crunchy, yeah, because then it's like a war. There
were a couple of different bakery on mains that I
could have chosen. I took this one because I had
the most going on. But I'm going to give it
two bowls in a spoon.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I'm gonna agree with you. I didn't hate it. I
just think it's a complicated cereal.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, there's a lot of unexpected textures in it. A greed. Yes,
you got some seeds.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
You got some little bird pellet looking stuff, that's the millet.
You got some cranberries. I love cranberries though.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
By the way, you know there's like a kammut shortage.
What a commut shortage? Well, do you remember that bagged cereal?
It's like that natural crap. There's like wheat puffs and
corn puffs and kamut. Arrowhead Mills makes it. We did
it like a while ago. Yeah, my mom's a big
fan and I brought it home to her. You can't
stringy one, Nope. They're just little little puffed things and
(16:29):
it's usually on the bottom shelf and a bag. Arrowhead
Mills makes it. Can't find it. They've been out of
stock for months months. It's a production problem. Apparently, maybe
there was a big fire at the Arrowhead Mills plant.
I hope not. I hope not too, but I don't
know what's going on. Hey, thanks, for listening to Cereal Killers. Wait,
I thought we were that's oh, that's three. That's three, buddy,
This one whizz right by. Oh wow, how many minutes
(16:51):
was this one like twelve seventeen or so? Oh wow,
not too bad. Gosh, conversation with you has just been
flowing next right, It's right on target. So thanks so much.
I'm sorry we're less angry with each other now. No,
I'm still very angry with you. Why I'm just holding
it in. Oh okay, thank you for listening to Serial Killers.
This has been an episode one seventy seven. Wow, one
seventy seven. It's crazy. It's still remarkable to me. Yeah,
(17:14):
it's kind of amazing. And the fact that we're not
more well known, as you know, we're doing something wrong. Listen.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm proud of what we've accomplished. It's a great starting
point for what can be starting.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
It's a very niche, niche, niche, niche, niche, niche, niche show,
like you really got to be into serial to listen
to a serial podcast.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
But to be honest, there's a bunch of people who
also just like our banter, so.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
They don't care about the serial. No, then they should
be listening to goal chat. Well, no, because we're still
chatting in this one. Uh huh, it's the chemistry baby. Okay.
On that note, we're gonna go. Thank you so much.

made that PSA was on drugs so.
