To be honest, I think the original reason I liked King Vitamin was because it was like a buck cheaper than the other cereals on the shelf. After we got home, we realized it was pallatable. Combine the two, and we essentially get THE BEST CEREAL EVER!
That's right: even as a child I was a tightwad.
Do you remember how Mom used to put our cereal into that glass bin thing? That killed whatever marketing-glamor the cereal had in the first place. The glass bin made all cereal just as generic as if it had come from a Malt-O-Meal bag. Bummer.
