My mother used to give me cereal - all sorts of sugary stuff (that was legal here in the UK anyway). But my son had none of it, and now he's 28 he still doesn't eat anything other than oats or a sandwich. I stopped eating that junk sugar cereal when I left home. Similar to you, I eat oats, a few raisins, yoghurt instead of milk, blueberries, blackcurrants, a pinch each of chia seed, flax seeds, cocoa powder, bran, and some spices. I'm actually quite impressed these school kids are mostly unimpressed with these cereals. A bit disappointed that the responsible adult in the room rather enjoys them and would feed some of this stuff to his own kids.
You can tell it's a good school, because the pupils are smartly-dressed and intelligent and articulate in their reactions. Also the headmaster has a sense of humour! lol
For crying out loud fellas, you only had to taste these foods. To have one spoonful and say “no not for me i” and pull a face, then you picked up the spoon and kept eating! What???????
Yes it's just potato oil & salt in the UK. It's the same for most products. You can Google it. Crazy how many ingredients are in the American versions of things.
You don't get type two Diabetis by eating sugar.you are at risk of getting it if you eat too much surgery foods or carbohydrates that makes you put weight on.but it does not always do it with some people.im a type two Diabetic but mine is hereditary from my Mother's side.all 5 of my Mother's children got it.i was two stone underweight when diagnosed.
12 grams of sugar per 39g serving of Trix?! That’s insane. And most people probably have a much larger serving than 39g too (I found reducing to 45g of cereal hard to get used to - I used to have almost double that). Upon learning about American cereal and bread (ie sugar sandwiches) I have a new found respect for Americans like you who manage to stay in shape. I’m almost surprised that there are any slim Americans at all, lol.
As an American, one thing to realize is that many US folks don’t really eat these cereals and for every unhealthy sugary cereal there are a ton of people who eat healthy breakfast foods.
I often wonder about the combination of chemicals in food and what it does to the cells in our bodies. Let alone what it’s doing to children’s bodies and brains as they develop 🤔
@trevorjackson4157I wonder if there's a link between them and the number of Americans who'll believe any amount of nonsense and vote for a convicted rapist gangster as president.
Food safety is viewed from almost opposite viewpoints. One says Its up to you but 'this is mostly safe, most people should be ok, probably'. The other says you can't sell this as 'this may not be safe for everyone'. Profit before people.
The difference between the US and UK food is that in the UK the companies have to prove that the food is safe before it can be marketed. In the US it's up to the authorities to prove that a food stuff is unsafe, and as you said Joel there's a certain tolerance for how bad it can be. But what you have to take into consideration is that money rules in the US. Feed people with unhealthy food and the hospitals make more money and therefore the government.
I always know when I’m looking at an American recipe, because somewhere in the list of ingredients will be sugar. I saw one the other day for a savoury dish that used a TABLESPOON of sugar! 😳
I'm nearly 77 years old and a Brit and still eat cereals, I have 3 that I eat regularly, Weetabix, which are plain unsweetened flaked wheat biscuits around 2" x 4" x perhaps 1/2" thick served with milk and very little sugar, secondly I may have oatmeal cooked with milk instead of water and usually add chopped fruit (Nectarines, bananas, or berry fruits) to sweeten it, although I may choose instead to have a bowl of Granola which is oats and seeds, uncooked and bound with a little honey, I tend to have the tropical fruit version with dried and chopped or sliced fruits, eaten with lots of plain yoghurt instead of milk. I try to have the very minimum of processed sugar if any on my cereals and rely on the fruit for sweetness -It's not so addictive.
IIRC Mythbusters had an episode where they compared the nutritional value of a cereal to the box it came in, and the box was slightly BETTER. Insanity. Think I'll stick to my weetabix and crumpets.
I always recycle my husbands cereal boxes so they can make more cereal from them. Actually I never eat cereal myself, hate milk since school when we were forced to drink it every day.
excellent vid, that uploader did an entire series of the same group of lads over 1-2 years at their school eating Asian foods, then as a surprise, at end of term/final year exams, they took the entire group to Asia, to try the REAL homemade foods, and experience Asian life/school. They even took their headteacher, what a great guy!! One lad had never had an overseas holiday with his great mom (we met her in a sep video), he had never flown... its well worth watching entire series... So happy JPS highlighted their channel
The Korean Englishman also takes the boys and teacher to Korea where they have fun and eat purely Korean food, try their schools, sports etc, he also introduces Korean food to rappers, movie stars etc, great channel. They with their wives were invited to a banquet at the palace and the King talked privately with them - the banquet was for dignitaries from Korea because they speak Korean.
When my cousin moved to America, he was shocked when his wife got a box of cereal from the cupboard and started eating them dry from the box, like they were a packet of sweets 😂😂 That's a thing there. Apparently 🙄
My bro-in-law comes from Texas, he tried McD's here in AU for the first time and wondered why the bun didn't taste sweet, even in savoury stuff the US must pack them with sugar or corn syrup, kinda sad, I do hope more parents start feeding their kids more healthy stuff, it's probably hard without making everything yourself, but that's gotta be better than crap packed with sugar.
The US has corn syrup in everything i recon. Kinda remember those cinnamon rolls i once ate at breakfast because the cheap hotel we stayed at only had those and lukewarm brown water (supposed to be coffee). Still gives me heartburn thinking about it ;)
USA is also a country who have to pay for their healthcare, I wonder if that may contribute to why your laws allow them. Here in UK we don’t pay for specific treatments so it might be a way of protecting our health system
@HeatherBulcock Yeah I'm guessing that's part of it, healthcare as a business is a shitty idea, but the US is based in capitalism so it's not a huge surprise. I'm glad here in AU we have great free healthcare, I'd be fkd if it was pay to play.
Not sure if you've ever looked into this or not, but check out the difference between the ingredients in Heinz Tomato Ketchup UK/EU v USA !!! It's a real eye opener. Details can be found via google!! I'll never consume anything that contains corn syrup.
We have tomato sauce in Australia ( you can get ketchup but it's not as popular) Tom Sauce is really vinegary, and any American I've given it to can't cope with the savoury taste. Mind you, they don't like Vegemite either...
Over here in Britain we have what we call allotments which is a piece of land where we grow our own organic vegetables usually of a weekend, if not we use a part of the garden for growing our own fresh vegetables, then we know what we're eating.
He's a fool, he said he'd give that crap to his kids! "What ever makes them happy in the morning" that's the mentality of someone who's supposed to be bringing our kids on in the world, absolutely astonishing!
7:18 - yeah, it is the same school every time. Josh & Ollie (hence, "JOLLY") are friends of the Headmaster, Mr Smith. Josh has another channel, Korean Englishman, where he gets these high schoolers to try Korean food. The two boys at the end of the clip (in the Express VPN sponsor ad) - Max and Armand, went to Korea with Josh, twice.
Lol, I grew in NYC with Iriswh immigrant parents,. We NEVER had cereal. Oatmeal with milk (no sugar) and tea or bacon and eggs for breakfast. Except for the period when I would east only Tuna sandwiches. But even then on Friday I would eat fish and chips at thee local chippies. Fresh fish. Then later I could only eatr a hamburger at a bar or restaurant, not the fast food places. The irish vvard served deligious steak fries,
Growing up in the U.K. in the 80’s and 90’s cereals were typically full of sugar and very sweet but as concerns grew regarding obesity companies had to tone down the amount of sugar and artificial sweeteners. Especially now with the sugar tax in the U.K.
People complain about the "Nanny State" here in the UK. But sometimes we need to be saved from ourselves. Sugary cereals and snacks for young children should be outright banned. If a child has never had sugar packed foods, they won't develop a want for it.
I grew up in the 60's 70's, only ever had cereal without sugar...weetabix, shredded wheat, corn flakes, rice crispies etc. Ate them mainly in the morning but sometimes for supper. I still eat cereal without sugar. Watching kids eat such sugary things makes me uneasy, no need to make them that way
When i was growing up in the 80s very few Cereals were sweetened at all, the only.ones i can think of are sugar puffs and frosties and they were mildly sweetened towards American Cereals.
I've been to the US, and I couldn't eat the toast or bacon because it was so sugary tasting, like someone had rolled it in a jar of jam 🤮. This was fun though. We have Fruit Loops here in Oz, I'm not sure of the sugar content, but I'm sure it wouldn't be good.
I love the teacher that does the videos, he's such a nice bloke, and he's not all high and mighty about how bad things are, he just enjoys trying it like he was a kid too lol. We do have cinnamon toast crunch in the uk, but I think the name has been changed to something else. I used to love them as a kid, the texture of CTC is really nice, and it's sweet, but not horribly so.
I never ate serials in my life. As a child I had sometimes grains (plain, without sugar) in my yogurt, without sugar. I gave that to my child as well. These colored serials are just scary.
I’m Australian and we have the same regulations with artificial colours as the UK, sugar content etc. in Australia and Europe, artificial colours are banned. That’s why we don’t have blue fruit loops in our packs because there’s no natural colour to be found for the blue. So yeah, the colours of our fruit loops aren’t as bright due to natural colouring.
Every Christmas, we stock lots of Reeses chocolate, stocking fillers, etc. Every Christmas, its the last thing to go, and onky after we've reduced it all :D
Thats the thing question do you have allergies? A friend in the food industry has said they have gone up 40% in the past 30 years. Cancer sued to be one in 26 its now 1 in two people
On the whole we tend to use natural colouring derived from fruits and vegetables (e.g. Beetroot gives a vibrant magenta colour), especially, rather than chemical colourings and most cereals have little of no sugar so that each individual can add it to their own taste and not be physically programmed to need sweet foods which seems to be the case in the US as sugar is very addictive. I eat an unsweetened wholemeal wheat cereal and only put a tiny amount of sugar on it, perhaps a quarter of a teaspoonful sprinkled over the both large biscuits of Weetabix.
We had a cereal here in Australia 🇦🇺 in the 70s early 80s that were called Kelloggs strawberry pops. with a pink elephant on the box. They took it off the market, they turned the milk bright pink..
the packaging is fun. I'd like to have the packets in a travel version like for collecting would be cool. or like miniatures in Fimo or plastic collectibles
Can we just agree that serial isn’t made for breakfast or for young kids.. it’s made for adults to destroy when they have the munchies. For breakfast you eat oats with unrefined milled sugar and lots of butter 😋
Well I'm English and I didn't even know we had fruit loops in the first place. As a child we had winter breakfasts and summer breakfasts. Mom would cook a huge pot or porridge with honey added. Then a boiled egg with soldiers. In the summer we would get cornflakes or rice krispies or fresh fruit and a slice of butter and toast. I was 21 before I had my first ever MacDonalds and never touched them since. Burger King is supreme in our house.
British girl here love your content dearly! It's really interesting to see both sides, I've been following for a couple of months now, and you're really respectful , so thank you, and keep up the good content dude!
You can get lucky charms in the UK. I'm guessing the closest thing to the cinnamon toast would be cinnamon grahams (cinnamon chips from aldi). i'd try the toast.
There’s a couple of points that come to me, and the first is the erudition of these lads, when I was there age I was definitely a trog! The standard of education and teaching has obviously improved since the 1960’s. Secondly if these cereals are typical in the US no wonder the schools there concentrate more on sports than academic studies, you just have to get rid of all that excess energy from the sugar, I’m also really worried about the health of these US kids, especially from the carcinogens in the cereals. I have a hatred of very sweet [UK] things, I won’t bother finding out about US products. Me I like things like Oatabix virtually no sugar.
Ugh, sweet cereal. Give me some good jumbo oats with oat milk served cold (must be done the night before). Sweetened with either a bit of maple syrup or locally produced honey. Don't mind Bran Flakes or Cornflakes. I only eat toast if it has marmite, honey, or seriously strong cheese spread on it.
Growing up in the sixties there were cornflakes, weetabix, rice crispies or shredded wheat. But that was in a Northern working class home... we were all pretty skinny back then.
So when i try first time Oreo guess what next morning get out black i was so scared so never hapend again about cereals?Lol there is no cereals they call them cereals now i am happy back home eat better and healthy
Think ill stick with my wee humble bowl of porridge 😂
My father had porridge for breakfast for decades. With raisins and a bit of orange juice.
So great to see such good sarcasm in ones so young. 😂😂
Really makes you proud 😊
It's a second Language to us Brits 😂😂😂
Can’t beat the humble egg to start your day
British kids, however young, don't like artificial flavours.
The headteacher can't switch off, pointing out the spelling 😂 love it!
Bro here in Denmark we usually eat straights oats with milk and maybe raisins and that's it.
Eating candy with Red 40 for breakfast is crazy 😂💀
I’m and oat milk girl in Wales with honey and fruit like banana or blueberries
@fayesouthall6604 frrr like i’m an overnight oats or granola girl in england
My mother used to give me cereal - all sorts of sugary stuff (that was legal here in the UK anyway). But my son had none of it, and now he's 28 he still doesn't eat anything other than oats or a sandwich.

I'm actually quite impressed these school kids are mostly unimpressed with these cereals. A bit disappointed that the responsible adult in the room rather enjoys them and would feed some of this stuff to his own kids.
Same here in the UK
In Switzerland, we eat oat with milk or yogurt or both. If you want it sweet you add berries or a banana. Or a little bit of honey. Or a fruit yogurt.
You can tell it's a good school, because the pupils are smartly-dressed and intelligent and articulate in their reactions. Also the headmaster has a sense of humour! lol
in the UK everyone wears a uniform, even in state schools
@silmuffin86 not quite true - a few schools do not have a uniform. Also the uniforms vary a lot, and some are much smarter than others.
For crying out loud fellas, you only had to taste these foods. To have one spoonful and say “no not for me i” and pull a face, then you picked up the spoon and kept eating! What???????
Yeah, he’s great - and an old school friend of Josh, who’s presenting the video
That's a standard school uniform in the uk
French fries from McDonald’s in the USA contain 14 ingredients,in the UK it’s 3.
wow
Same here in Australia - they contain potato, oil and salt.
I had no idea
Yes it's just potato oil & salt in the UK. It's the same for most products. You can Google it. Crazy how many ingredients are in the American versions of things.
There's a definite difference in taste between the UK's and Americas
F.D.A., a tribute to the fine American regulatory tradition of putting the foxes in charge of the hen house
Well you could legislate that that could be the case with all regulatory bodies including the aircraft manufacturing industry,
Type two diabetes in a bowl. Give me coffee and a piece of toast any day of the week.
Beans! Don't forget the beans! ;)
You don't get type two Diabetis by eating sugar.you are at risk of getting it if you eat too much surgery foods or carbohydrates that makes you put weight on.but it does not always do it with some people.im a type two Diabetic but mine is hereditary from my Mother's side.all 5 of my Mother's children got it.i was two stone underweight when diagnosed.
White bread is just as bad for you!
@fmcm7715 Especially white bread with 80g of sugar per loaf.
@fmcm7715 ANY bread is bad for you. Don't believe the crap about whole grains. No grain is actually good for you. It all turns to sugar as it digests.
even the colour of it looks nuclear
@russellpetrie119 breakfast cereals that glow in the dark. 🦠
12 grams of sugar per 39g serving of Trix?! That’s insane. And most people probably have a much larger serving than 39g too (I found reducing to 45g of cereal hard to get used to - I used to have almost double that).
Upon learning about American cereal and bread (ie sugar sandwiches) I have a new found respect for Americans like you who manage to stay in shape. I’m almost surprised that there are any slim Americans at all, lol.
American bread is the worst. Just sugar where it does not belong 😊
Videos like this make me eternally grateful that I'm not American
Me too!
As an American, one thing to realize is that many US folks don’t really eat these cereals and for every unhealthy sugary cereal there are a ton of people who eat healthy breakfast foods.
If these cereals have too much sugar fir breakfast what about pancakes and syrup 😮for breakfast 😮
Me too Kevin, me too! 🇬🇧
Same here coz I spent many years vacation there but not to live
It’s literally sweets with milk on 😮
my teeth are hurting just watching this, let alone eating the cereal. 😬
dentist on speed dial NO 1. ☎
insulin shot in my pocket. 💉
We had porridge then scrambled egg and bacon and toast and tea
From Bridget Jones's Diary: "There isn't enough blue food".🤣
It doesn't take a scientist to work out what we feed children and the obesity rate.
I often wonder about the combination of chemicals in food and what it does to the cells in our bodies. Let alone what it’s doing to children’s bodies and brains as they develop 🤔
Yes, I wonder if there is there a link between chemicals and allergies.
@trevorjackson4157I wonder if there's a link between them and the number of Americans who'll believe any amount of nonsense and vote for a convicted rapist gangster as president.
The headMASTER of hot takes and expressions, Mr. Smith
Food safety is viewed from almost opposite viewpoints. One says Its up to you but 'this is mostly safe, most people should be ok, probably'. The other says you can't sell this as 'this may not be safe for everyone'. Profit before people.
can you actauly buy anything healthy and edible in the states?
What a lovely bunch of lovely lads and teacher. Made me smile
The difference between the US and UK food is that in the UK the companies have to prove that the food is safe before it can be marketed.
In the US it's up to the authorities to prove that a food stuff is unsafe, and as you said Joel there's a certain tolerance for how bad it can be.

Feed people with unhealthy food and the hospitals make more money and therefore the government.
Same on continent
@GuyWets-zy5yt yep, and that's how it should be.
Imagine if we built cars with the same psychology.
Not so, for example, seed oils.
I always know when I’m looking at an American recipe, because somewhere in the list of ingredients will be sugar. I saw one the other day for a savoury dish that used a TABLESPOON of sugar! 😳

And we wonder why teachers say so many kids have A.D.D. They're fried up in the morning with a boat load of sugar !...😮
Oh, but there’s Ritalin to solve that.
There's no casual link between sugar and ADHD.
Even standard white bread, which I NEVER eat, in America tastes sweet!!🤢🇬🇧

Me neither! Nasty stuff

@triarb5790 Love Marmite myself. 😜
we learn sarcasm from a very young age...
Nobody does sarcasm like us Brits 😂
@diane9656Amen to that 🙏
Not only Uk cereals in most European countries sugar content is significantly lower in most products compared to the USA

You HAVE to see their reaction to Trader Joe’s. Hilarious.
I’ve seen this video. The Cinnamon one is available here and I love it. The headmaster is a legend
I had cinnamon cereal from Lidl and my mouth blistered.
Lol, I grew in NYC with Iriswh immigrant parents,. We NEVER had cereal. Oatmeal with milk (no sugar) and tea or bacon and eggs for breakfast.

10:19 I was young and I don’t think I’d appreciate Artificially flavoured stuff except for bubble gum.
Sugar is one of the most addictive drugs you can take.
In the UK we call cinnamon toast crunch cinnamon Grahams. We used to have golden Graham's too & I think we need to bring those back.
Porridge. Add the sugar to your taste buds.x
Porridge with cinnamon sugar and fresh fruit. Can't go wrong.
Or do as some in Scotland do and add salt instead.
Growing up in the U.K. in the 80’s and 90’s cereals were typically full of sugar and very sweet but as concerns grew regarding obesity companies had to tone down the amount of sugar and artificial sweeteners. Especially now with the sugar tax in the U.K.

@jujutrini8412 To be fair, though, that's shredded wheat. Even WITH sugar on - it's still shredded wheat.
I've been to the US, and I couldn't eat the toast or bacon because it was so sugary tasting, like someone had rolled it in a jar of jam 🤮. This was fun though. We have Fruit Loops here in Oz, I'm not sure of the sugar content, but I'm sure it wouldn't be good.
5:11 That's your doppelganger on the left.
I love watching Russell Howard Playground Politics. He asks young UK school students questions and they're so funny
They have a full English! Now that is nice!
It seems like all consumables in the US have sugar in them! Good for the pharmaceutical companies.
Good for hospitals!
I love the teacher that does the videos, he's such a nice bloke, and he's not all high and mighty about how bad things are, he just enjoys trying it like he was a kid too lol.
We do have cinnamon toast crunch in the uk, but I think the name has been changed to something else. I used to love them as a kid, the texture of CTC is really nice, and it's sweet, but not horribly so.
I'd really like you to react to Little Britain, Fawlty Towers and Hello Hello.
This is from Jolly
I never ate serials in my life. As a child I had sometimes grains (plain, without sugar) in my yogurt, without sugar. I gave that to my child as well. These colored serials are just scary.
I’m Australian and we have the same regulations with artificial colours as the UK, sugar content etc. in Australia and Europe, artificial colours are banned. That’s why we don’t have blue fruit loops in our packs because there’s no natural colour to be found for the blue. So yeah, the colours of our fruit loops aren’t as bright due to natural colouring.
Yet we happily sell Energy drinks...
Makes sense that you have the same regulations as Europe considering you’re in the Eurovision
I laughed when Joel said about fruit loops the difference between US and America 😊😂
Every Christmas, we stock lots of Reeses chocolate, stocking fillers, etc. Every Christmas, its the last thing to go, and onky after we've reduced it all :D
Considering I can only eat plain cornflakes I think I would either turn into sonic or have a heart attack if I ate american cereal lol
Boiled eggs..best breakfast!!!
Thats the thing question do you have allergies? A friend in the food industry has said they have gone up 40% in the past 30 years. Cancer sued to be one in 26 its now 1 in two people
On the whole we tend to use natural colouring derived from fruits and vegetables (e.g. Beetroot gives a vibrant magenta colour), especially, rather than chemical colourings and most cereals have little of no sugar so that each individual can add it to their own taste and not be physically programmed to need sweet foods which seems to be the case in the US as sugar is very addictive.

I start my day with protein, no carbs or starch
13:52 Ollie and Joel are twinning
I'm surprised they didn't include Fruity Pebbles. I was actually looking forward to the kid's reactions.
that headteacher must be blagging a living.
We had a cereal here in Australia 🇦🇺 in the 70s early 80s that were called Kelloggs strawberry pops. with a pink elephant on the box. They took it off the market, they turned the milk bright pink..
If u put a white t shirt in it, it will be colorfully lol
Like drinking a period. 🤮
Came I 1987 thankfully missed that one
Froot Loops are my guilty pleasure whenever I travel.
the packaging is fun. I'd like to have the packets in a travel version like for collecting would be cool. or like miniatures in Fimo or plastic collectibles
Me and my brother when we were younger used to just eat fruit loops plain, I'm from Australia
This video finished and the advert that comes up after you talking about how US food isn't always great.... Five Guys. Irony in motion.
4:51 A person of great taste.
Explains a lot! Let’s go champ!
Can we just agree that serial isn’t made for breakfast or for young kids.. it’s made for adults to destroy when they have the munchies. For breakfast you eat oats with unrefined milled sugar and lots of butter 😋
Well I'm English and I didn't even know we had fruit loops in the first place. As a child we had winter breakfasts and summer breakfasts. Mom would cook a huge pot or porridge with honey added. Then a boiled egg with soldiers. In the summer we would get cornflakes or rice krispies or fresh fruit and a slice of butter and toast. I was 21 before I had my first ever MacDonalds and never touched them since. Burger King is supreme in our house.
If you're English why are you calling your Mum "Mom" .... that's American.
@pollyparrot8759😂
@pollyparrot8759not necessarily only America.
Mom is used in some parts of northern England (according to my northern English brother in law 😉).
British girl here love your content dearly! It's really interesting to see both sides, I've been following for a couple of months now, and you're really respectful , so thank you, and keep up the good content dude!
In America them kids would Sue the RUclips channel for giving them the food before telling them about the chemicals....
They should read the ingredients beforehand!
British are more polite
The AMAZING boys from Fulham School south of London!! I love these guys :)
Fulham boys school is in West London. Yes they are amazing
You can get lucky charms in the UK. I'm guessing the closest thing to the cinnamon toast would be cinnamon grahams (cinnamon chips from aldi). i'd try the toast.
There’s a couple of points that come to me, and the first is the erudition of these lads, when I was there age I was definitely a trog! The standard of education and teaching has obviously improved since the 1960’s. Secondly if these cereals are typical in the US no wonder the schools there concentrate more on sports than academic studies, you just have to get rid of all that excess energy from the sugar, I’m also really worried about the health of these US kids, especially from the carcinogens in the cereals. I have a hatred of very sweet [UK] things, I won’t bother finding out about US products. Me I like things like Oatabix virtually no sugar.
Ugh, sweet cereal. Give me some good jumbo oats with oat milk served cold (must be done the night before). Sweetened with either a bit of maple syrup or locally produced honey. Don't mind Bran Flakes or Cornflakes. I only eat toast if it has marmite, honey, or seriously strong cheese spread on it.
Those chaps who run the account met the King recently. They posted video.
Growing up in the sixties there were cornflakes, weetabix, rice crispies or shredded wheat. But that was in a Northern working class home... we were all pretty skinny back then.
I think that UK cereals are much sweeter than they used to be when I ate them before school. I am 72 years old now.
Here we eat fruit and fresh baked cheese empanada even coke has less sugar here and diet uses a safer artificial sweetener
Cinnamon Toast Crunch- blech
I tried fruit loops once and I tell you now I gagged just no the amount of sugar I couldn't
Give me a bowl of Alpen or porridge any day of the week!
...and we do pooridge with lilly fruits in summer
We have fruit loops in Australia 😂😂 I don’t mind them once in a while. But hardly eat them, too sweet.
Milk first??? My mind is blown!
What great kids ❤
Bran Flakes with raisins, a banana, strawberries and blueberries in there with a double espresso in a cold all milk coffee does me nicely.
Lucky Charms were a revelation to me when I tried them for the first time. It's one of my guilty pleasures when I come to the US
Gross
So when i try first time Oreo guess what next morning get out black i was so scared so never hapend again about cereals?Lol there is no cereals they call them cereals now i am happy back home eat better and healthy
Where is Arturo? Has he been eating too many American cereals? 🤔
