If you ate this shyt as a kid growing up, you know the struggle was real....

Sometimes our meal was just rice, with sugar in it. No butter because we didn't have any.

I still make that shyt to this day


I used to sneak extra sugar into the rice when moms wasn't looking


A few times a year we would get a plain brown box filled with bags of generic cereal with no label, but it was knockoffs of sweet cereals like Crunch Berries or Fruity pebbles.

That was the only time we would get cereal that was already sweet flavored, and it felt like Christmas

We're kindred spirits.I remember the sugar rice meals.You was lucky if you could get a teaspoon of margarine in it....Real butter was a foreign product

If you grew up in the 80s and 90s especially in big cities you know about this (the generic asle). This is also before it became big business for grocery stores to have their own knock off brands of food.

breh I am from the chi. I use to go visit my cousins in the projects (cabrini green) and they would have blocks of cheese at they crib like they were slanging it.

I remember when Jessie White would pull up in a big cargo truck handing out cheese...

Yall chicago folks know who jessie white is and that tumbling team...

Kix was the shyt back then


Kix used to be so sweet and delicious. Thr cereal was glazed with sugar and used to shine from the sugar glaze, and the cereal pieces were bigger back then.

I bought some recently and it was salty as fukk

Their fruity pebbles and captain crunch taste better to, they don't use as much dye.

I will tolerate any Kix slander in here. We will not have it! Kix Berries was like crack for me as a kid.
