Show Notes Episode 346: I Pity the Fool That Don’t Eat My Cereal

This week Host Dave Bledsoe issues a retraction to his Sister after insinuating she used to regularly kick his ass, and regrets any confusion. She is and was all sweetness and light and be humbly beg her pardon and pleads for her not to hurt him. (Again) On the show this week we are looking at all the brands of breakfast cereal that were just basically cash grabs in the 1980’s (There were more than you remember)


Along the way we learn some shocking news about why so many cereals were taken off the shelves so soon after they debuted. (Meaning Dave just made up some shit after reading a single unsourced claim. Again.) From there we plumb the depths of the cereal aisle circa 1989 for all the weird and terrible cereals that people thought kids like to eat. (We liked Apple Jacks and Sugar Smacks, no one wanted Nerd’s Cereal) Finally we wrapped up with the most bizarre and inexplicable cereal of the lot and wondered if something wasn’t going on between Mr T and Nancy Reagan. (She looked awfully happy on his lap)


Our Sponsor this week is Davey-O’s the cereal for podcasters! We open the show with Liam Neeson picking up some groceries and close with Chad and Nora Haynes traveling down that road again.
