My favorite cereal as a kid was Honeycomb. (My mother was far less picky back then about what she'd let her own kids eat than how she is with her grandson today, much to Evan's broccoli-filled, sugar-deprived chagrin!) I haven't had this sweet goodness in probably 25 years but have been noticing that they are advertising it as now tasting even better. So, a couple of weeks ago, Lisa, Evan and I did grocery shopping on the weekend (Lisa normally does it during the week ... probably precisely because of things like this) and I grabbed a box of Honeycomb. I remember how, as a kid, some of the cereal pieces would be a little more yellow in color than others and they'd always be sweeter than the others. The pieces seem more consistent now ... and smaller. Or else my mouth has gotten bigger. (No comments on that one, please.) But, for the big question, do they actually taste better? I have to admit, comparing them now as a bald chubby middle-aged guy with razor stubble and morning breath to how they were when I was a skinny, pajama-clad kid ... they don't taste quite as sweet. Oh well. It's been fun anyway. And maybe I can try them again in another 25 years ... as long as my mother isn't watching.
