Captain Crunch....never in my childhood home....NEVER! If we wanted sweet cereal (Captain Crunch, Lucky Charms, etc.), we had to sleep over at a friend's house. Oh, and trust me, when I had the opportunity to eat sweet cereal at a friend's house, I ate my fill. I had no shame in eating 2 or 3 bowls. My friends probably felt sorry for me, the way I gobbled that stuff up.
So, for this challenge, I bought one box of Captain Crunch and we ate it for...wait for it...DINNER!! Oh my goodness, that was so against all of the healthy eating habits my parents instilled in me as a child.
Sidenote #1: My husband found this box of Captain Crunch (even though I had it hidden) and ate half of it for dinner one night when the kids and I weren't home. Can you tell that his parents had the same crereal rules as mine?
Sidenote #2: I totally hold the same values now about healthy eating habits as my parents did when I was a kid. I'm truly grateful for what they taught me, and I am teaching those same habits to my kids. However, a little splurge now and then is fun, fun, fun.

As a self-confessed cereal junkie, you have hit me straight to the core. Nicely done. Also, now I am hungry for Capn Crunch.
