    When I was a kid, having these mean I was on holiday in a chalet or static caravan on the Yorkshire coast.

      For me it was visiting my grandparents in the States and Cornwall :)

      I’d always go for either the coco pops or the multi-grain first, eventually leaving myself with the dreaded corn flakes.

    We got a “variety” pack recently and it was like 80% variations on Rice Krispies. Most disappointing thing I’ve ever seen. I hope yours has some actual variety!

      Looking at the photo there’s 2x Rice Krispies and 2x Coco Pops, so already not much variety…

          Yep. It’s exactly that. 2 x Rice Krispies, 2 x Rice Krispies Multigrain Shapes, 3 x Coco Pops, 1 x Cornflakes. No Frosties, which is a bit of a fail.

              The selections were tons better in the old days.

              I still remember the trauma of waking up on the first day of camping, just to find that my little brother had woken up an hour earlier and bagsied the only box of Start.

    They always remind me of childhood holidays when we got a pack and fight over the cocopops with my bro

      We’ve started having to take a big box of cereal camping because the kids just eat them like crisps!

      But tonight they are staying at their Granny’s, who only ever has off-brand fruit and fibre!

        Hah, well at least it’s a healthy option!

        Cereal is also the best to snack on.

        Does the UK version come with the wax paper inside. So that the box of cereal can hold milk like a bowl?

        Growing up the Canadian version had it, but we bought them recently and the wax paper is missing. You have to pour the cereal in a bowl now.

    That’s tea sorted then. Remember, don’t go straight from rice krispies to coco pops, you need to break it up with the mutigrain shapes.

      Remember the furore when they copied Opal Fruits’ lead, and rebranded to choco krispies?
