When I was a little kid, I absolutely loved waffle crisp cereal. My father said the smell was intolerable so I couldn’t keep it in the house, which meant that I could only eat it for one week a year at summer camp.

I made that cereal absolutely perfect in my memory, which made it even more disappointing when I bought some as an adult to try.

First, my dad was right, it is stanky. Second, it’s only sugar. There’s no flavor, except for artificial maple, which is gross af. Third, it gave me heartburn, which just made me feel even further removed from my childhood.
