Odd Thoughts Dept: What’s On The Cereal?

     This might be a symptom of encroaching Alzheimer’s, but lately I find myself increasingly attracted to questions no one is asking (e.g., “Where are the snows of yesteryear?” “Who put the bop in the bop-she-bop-she-bop?” and “Who put eight great tomatoes in that little bitty can?”). Just a moment ago I stumbled over one that won’t...let...go:

     What odd-but-edible things have people put on their breakfast cereal?

     I mean, we’ve all seen raisins, blueberries, strawberry halves, and banana slices added to cereal, right? No one would blink at seeing any of those in a bowl of Cheerios^®. But I once saw a college classmate grate Parmesan cheese onto his corn flakes. It threw me for quite a loop...but there it was. And yes, he ate it.

     I’d be willing to bet that up to now, no one has ever put:

• Brussels sprouts;
• Anchovies;
• Miniature Snickers^® bars;

     ...into a bowl of cereal. But only up to now. Once the possibility has been broached, you just know that someone, somewhere will try it out.

     Would anyone care to submit a tale of deviance at the breakfast table? Preferably true – and edible?
