    Shredded wheat. My dad ate that and we just all thought he was a boring grumpy fart. I like it now though. Look at us all taking a trip down the memory lane of breakfast.

    Ok... runny eggs with soldiers

    The one thing I absolutely have not been able to find is Skippy Grape or Smuckers Goober Grape peanut butter.

    I've searched pretty much everywhere, but they stock only the regular Skippy peanut butter.

    It's absolutely perfect. You get the optimum proportion of peanut butter to jelly without having to muck about with multiple jars & knives. The closest place to HK I can find it is Singapore, so have been importing them in whenever I can.
