Is It Any Wonder Our Kids Are Fat? Cereal Straws

Posted by Karen Murphy

cereal strawsI'm both repulsed by and strangely attracted to this new product, which if I understand it correctly is an edible Froot Loop-flavored straw-thing lined with sweetened faux-milk that you (well, your kid, actually) is supposed to suck real milk through. I'm pretty sure I would just skip the milk and crunch down the straw, like eating hardened bottom-of-the-box cereal-dust. Yeah. Yum! Finally someone marketed this little goldmine.

So...verdict? I'm just going to say that it's likely that my strange attraction has something to do with my not having had sugar in weeks and I'm suffering withdrawal, and we'll just chalk this little item up to the ranks of "EWWW" unless you can tell me differently. M'kay?

ok....I'm at a loss.  I wouldn't buy it for my kids due to the fact that well, they get enough sugar from their cereal.  That said, I feel the same way you do.  Yummy.  

Of course, this is coming from a woman who actually ate deep fried Reeses peanut butter cups last night.  Soooo wrong on so many levels, yet, probably the most delicious things I've ever eaten in my entire life.  

The downside---I probably gained 10 pounds and am this/close to having a heart attack because of said food.  

I need to go for a walk--or something.
