Yeah, this realization hit me a few years ago. I was sitting there thinking "man what the fuck happened to all those toy commercials and shit? Oh wait I don't watch exclusively Nickelodeon anymore."

It became obvious real fast that these commercials didn't really sell cereal...the shit sells itself. Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs don't need a bear in a commercial to get little shitheads in shopping carts calling "Mommy, mommy," and parents really are indifferent enough to their children to buy them this crap just to shut them up until next time.
It's probably going to be like when Fox and NBC discover that they make just as much money in a season built solely on reality TV, and just quit negotiating with writers. "Oh, apparently plot is unnecessary."

Why eat f*cking "Cookie Crisp" when you can eat a real cookie? I mean.....just because it's a cereal cookie, doesn't make it any less loaded with craptastic amounts of sugars.
Fakers! eat real damn cookies for breakfast!!!
pft...posers...

when i was a kid my parents wouldn't let me get cookie crisp so i put a bunch of real cookies in a cereal bowl with milk and they just got really soggy and gross and i almost cried.
