Except chocolate covered sugar bombs, which is miniaturized dessert.

      Pallets are surely full-sized shredded wheat. Or Quaker Muffets, which seem to be discontinued? :(

        Quaker Muffets

        Never heard of these, name made my stoned ass giggle, looked it up, they look like they’re basically a round weetabix, and definitely belong in the food pellet category lol

    I’ve always thought of microwave burritos as food pellets and cereal as human kibble. But that’s just me.

    If food pellets were good, there was enough variety to combat food fatigue, and they were nutritionally complete I’d be for them as a product. Cheap fast food is always going to be necessary. Soylent fills the fast purpose.

      Do we even need those conditions? I’m already good with the same breakfast every day, and lunch is usually the same sandwich unless there are leftovers. I can’t be the only one who always prized convenience for those two meals, leaving only dinner for creativity/variety. I just need to be convinced soylent/food pellets is more convenient than making a sandwich

        I mean with a sandwich you have to go to the grocery story select the individual sandwich components, bring them home, put them away, put said components together to form the sandwich.

        If you get the soylent in bottles it’s just a subscribe to have them delivered to your door, put in fridge (or don’t but I personally think they’re better cold), grab a bottle out of fridge.

    As a child i thought it’s pretty wild that we can have dessert for breakfast. I didn’t eat cornflakes during my adult life and foe some reason i bought these cornflakes that look like little cookies and holy shit that’s exactly what they are. I couldn’t eat them they were so sweet i felt like i was eating weaponized diabetes

      Try the atkins diet sometime

      We call that keto these days.

        I think “keto” encompasses atkins but is just “low carb” in general. If you get the book, atkins has many guidelines, levels, etc.

        So, very similar, lots of overlap but not the same.

          Atkins was named after a man. Keto is the more accurate and clinical word for the same concept which is ketosis, the metabolic state your body goes into when you eat nothing but meat.

            We will have to agree to disagree. This is not worth arguing about.

      it’s been 30+ years since I’ve tried cookie crisp cereal but I’ll never forget. Anyone who’s expecting a cookie experience from this cereal is gonna be severely disappointed.

        I never knew there were different flavors. Vanilla?!?

        And it has probably been that long since I’ve had it too. Can you still buy it?

        It was a BIG deal when my parents let us kids buy a “sugar” cereal. Cookie crisp was my choice and I only remember buying it once.

          yeah all I recall it was more crisp than cookie, leaving abrasions on the roof of the mouth, and some gross synthetic sweetening that leaves a weird metallic aftertaste. and for those who have a sweet tooth, they’re still gonna be disappointed because on a scale of 1 to 10, the sweetness of the cereal is about a 2.

            Yeah, that crisp was the worst. I remember captain crunch actually made my mouth bleed. A literally bloddy breakfast. W.T.F.

            That must be the food shellac mentioned in the Vacation movie…

    Might as well eat ice cream for breakfast.
