    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.

    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

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

    Excuse you, I resemble that remark.

    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.

    I like to stir the porridge.

    Anyway, adult cereal.

    Bottom layer: bran flakes.
    Middle layer: special K.
    Top layer: jumbo raisins.
