just asking

Is it completely perverse that I like eating dry breakfast cereal straight out of the box, by hand, as if it were popcorn? I’ve never met anyone else with this particular habit, but surely it’s reasonable enough that others must do it from time to time.

My favorite lately has been Special K Red Berries. It’s good. Special K is already perhaps the tastiest cereal of its general kind, but those freeze-dried red raspberries have a piercing tartness on the tongue that can almost make you sweat a bit. And for me at least, raspberries are already pretty close to a perfect object. Hot red raspberry pie… this was my favorite thing to eat on trips to the urban homes of grandparents living near pie chain outlets.
