    Was just enjoying a nice bowl of coco pops and it just copped me how childish I looked sitting there eating chocolate star shaped cereal and a monkey on the box in front of me.
    So why aren't there any more mature cereals like gun shaped corn flakes with cool cars and woman and stuff on the box like you would see on a James bond movie poster.
    I would call my cereal cool pops :P

    Mature adults don't play with guns.

    Cars & women might be an idea though.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 593 ✭✭✭Rockery Woman


    Yeah - how about little willy-shaped ones for women - we could call them "Mickey Pops"....;)

    Or ones shaped like boobies for the fellas "Crunchy Nut Nipples":pac:

    Isn't adult cereal called muesli? Or special K for adult fat chicks.

    muesli is just a marketing scam designed to give false hope to fat middle aged women

    Frosties ftw


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭deathrider


    Silly rabbit, tricks are for kids... Coco Pops are for all ages though, so you're alright.

    Nice!

    Back in the day I once mixed four different variety cereals in the one bowl: Frosties, Coco Pops, Corn Flakes & Rice Krispies.

    It may have been the most exciting thing I've done in my entire life.

    Cool Pops are those frozen drink thingies.

    More of a porridge girl myself but I do love the odd bowl of Sugar Puffs, even though they make your piss smell funny.

    Anyway, adult cereal.

    Bottom layer: bran flakes.

    Don't know if it's common, but my gran used to do it.

    She was quite religious and I always felt she substituted salt for sugar as some kind of flavouring-based penance.

    Nestle do a varietie pack with cookie crisp, cheerios, shreddies, honey cheerios, golden nuggets, curiously cinnamon and nesquik

    believe me when i say theres serious combinations there and enough sugar to get you to the bus stop!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,303 ✭✭✭Temptamperu


    Honey nut cheerios, like what Omar from the wire eats :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 157 ✭✭tomthetank


    Lucky charms
    Fruit loops
    Reese's puffs
    Golden grahams
    cookie crisp

    God bless America

    Start. They were nice. I don't like packaging on adult cereal, its boring white and there are no games or toys.
    Well, no toys in kids ones anymore neither.

    He means a Mr. Freeze, we don't have summers in Ireland


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Hey were Lucky Charms taken out of the Irish market because the sugar content was dangerously high for children?

    Also Coco Pops are rad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,894 ✭✭✭Chinafoot

    Mr. Freeze was just another brand of frozen drink. Our local shop had 'cool pops'. Same thing, cheaper version.

    But thanks for the condescending reply all the same :)

    When I saw that whole fast cars and women on the box I thought of The Simpsons cracker factory boss

    "Crackers are a family food, maybe bachelors eat crackers. We don't know and frankly we don't want to know"
