Coco Pops

[cliche guevara]

Funnily enough, it's to do with my genitals.

Are crunchy nut cornflakes middle class?

The assumptions around crunchy nut cornflakes vs other food might well be.

Dip your willy in the milk

It works with yoghurt.

 

[Ich bin ein Mod]

Now Ricicles were a much better sugar loaded breakfast for children.

Oh yes. I have a fule of a friend who insists Rice Krispies are superior. Crazy talk.

 

[Madusa]

anti biotics? Thought you tested negative?

[pigtails]

Pigtails, were your family Plymouth Brethren or summink? You were'nt allowed coco pops during the year? wtf?!

too expensive weren't they!

we had gruel the rest of the year

 

[cliche guevara]

I have inflammation of the epididymis. It's harmless and is going away quite quickly but was quite uncomfortable and scary as fuck for a while.

I might dip my nob in some cereal anyway though, just for kicks.

 

[pigtails]

My pee smells of sugar puffs when I forget to drink water.

OMG I know what you mean!

 

[Melinda]

Aww, thats made me sad

 

[pigtails]

Aww, thats made me sad

It was ok - made them REALLY special at christmas!

 

[isitme]

clusters, now that was a middle class cereal

 

[Melinda]

Quick question. Is gruel the same as porridge?

 

[electrogirl]

Really? I'd say Jordans is way more Middle Class.

Porridge has become middle class now too. It's done a full u-turn.

Like you dont know.

 

[Melinda]

No its not!

Its an approximation of a cereal. Its not even real nuts ffs.

Stunts growth too I hear?

Gruel is watery porridge.

 

[Melinda]

Like you dont know.

Quaker oats meant flap jacks in our house. We didnt do porridge.

Yeah, cant say we did either tbh. But everyone knows what gruel is!

 

[electrogirl]

I don't. The only time I've come across it is in Oliver: The Musical.

Clusters are basically a copy of Jordans Country Crisp though, and everything Jordans makes is middle-class.

Porridge... hmm... it's still up in the air, that one, it's not completely grounded. Ready Brek is working class. Organic rolled oats etc are middle class. A lot of it would depend on what you put in it as well.

Obviously Ive heard of it! Workhouse fare- slops and gruel, but its not like my mum served it up!

Anyway, stop shaming me!

Yeah,

Honey and raisins: Middle Class

Golden Syrup: Working class

I still think it's come back in vogue with the bourgoissssie.

 

[pigtails]

Um..... can I just point out that we didn't actually have gruel!

Just normal porridge or cornflakes or weetabix or museli - just none of the sugary expensive stuff!

 

[electrogirl]

Also I used to think the different types of porridge were bollocks, that porridge was porridge, but actually, Ready Brek is pretty fucking rank.

It's acceptable now - I think that's post-muesli. The fact that it's just oats doesn't imply that you're a pauper any more.

When I was growing up I don't think my family would have thought of porridge (I didn't even know what Ready Brek was for ages, apart from that it made you glow) but they wouldn't have been opposed to the concept. In fact if it hadn't been the case that we would have whinged and refused to eat it because it didn't have sugar in it and didn't make the milk taste nice, I imagine they would have been happy to serve it up for breakfast because it's so cheap. I eat it for breakfast now myself.

 

[spacemonkey]

Has anyone tried those nougat pillows from Lidl?

Cereal stuffed with joy.

 

[isitme]

i don't even know what jordans are

we used to have porridge. it's quite nice having hot cereal when it's cold, you need lots of sugar in it tho

 

[butchersapron]

Porridge is great. Spuds will be posh soon at this rate. And milk.
