That is one of the toughest decisions when I go shopping, I just stand there and want to take the whole rack, so I kind of buy a few of different kinds and rotate them the next time.

I think I have more empty boxes of Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, Cinnamon Life and Corn Flakes.

 

[TPW]

Well I suppose that those cute little variety packs would be just perfect for you (and the little cereal boxes are not only cute but a cereal bowl too!)

I always find cereal brings me right back to my childhood.
