Can't get enough of those Sugar Crisp

Now there is one for the ages.  How many folks remember Sugar Crisp?  I sure do and I usually got Post Toasties and sometimes Cheerios (some things never change).  So here is the big question:

What makes Sugar Crisp taste sooooo very good?  I know the answer, Post Toasties and Cheerios.  You probably think I am crazy but think about it!  If all you had to eat was Sugar Crisp you would get tired of them just like the Jewish folks held up in the desert for 40 years got tired of manna.  You would think folks would be happy to just not go hungry.  Heck NO!  We are people, humans to be precise and we get tired of the same old things.  So if you think about it, am I right or not? 

Now here is another reason to back up my thoughts.  Sugar Crisp cost about twice as much per volume as Post Toasties making them a more sought after commodity.  If you don't think that works consider how much you would like a BMW if it cost the same as a VW Bug.  You know I am right so give it up. 

Now one last reason that Sugar Crisp taste better because of Post Toasties.  I bet you love cashews and think that they taste better than peanuts because you just like them better.  NOT one bit, it is only because cashews are more expensive and when you mix them there are fewer in the can of peanuts.  And yes, peanuts make cashews taste better because there are more peanuts than cashews. 

Now if you are not buying my argument listen to one last bit of wisdom (that might be an opinion of mine rather than really wisdom but it makes me feel good).  I have the best wife and 3 kids and one granddaughter in the world.  I fell in love with my wife, Shouna, not because she was like all the peanuts or Post toasties but because she is Sugar Crisp and a Cashew.  Now, do you get it?

So what do you learn in the Osage?
  • Special is really just different
  • Variety is the spice of life
  • What you see is important may be hiding behind something obvious (think about it)
