and in today's nightmare world would probably be a devote member of the Worm Brain/MAHA Cult. While she usually pushed hot cereals such as Mother's Oats and Cream of Wheat, the Mom "approved' cold cereals were Wheaties, Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, and Raisin Bran (she apparently missed or ignored the sugar sprinkled on the raisins). However as a treat on rare and special occasions, she would grant us the thrill of selecting one of the Kellogg's Variety Packs with all the sugary/fun delights inside. It made us feel like we were rebels and being naughty badasses.
