Crispix.

The great thing about breakfast cereals is how easily the great equalizer, added sugar, can blur the line between adult and child varieties. You can buy your Kaboom, your Urkel-O's, your Fruity Yummy Mummy, all of which are fine and dandy, but a simple two or three tablespoons of pure sugar added to a bowl of Crispix elevates that plebeian staple of corn and rice to something altogether different—a sweet, crunchy, hexagonal paradise of grainy goodness. Plus you can pretend you're eating well, even while each spoonful yields ever greater degrees of carbohydrate-fueled euphoria. The half-inch layer of refined white sugar in every spoonful just means you're keepin' it real. And that's good eatin'.
