Cereal Flavored Milk

When I was a kid I would wake up every morning super early to watch cartoons. After wiping the crust from my eyes, I would climb on the counter to retrieve a bowl which would contain my nutrients for the day. Sugar, cinnamon, marshmallows, and the like would provide me with the energy I would need to make it to elementary school awakened and refreshed, only to crash around lunchtime where I would get my next fix from push pops. Regardless, I not only relied on my cereal but I also cherished it like I would a treasure chest full of rubies and pearls. It was delicious and satisfying to the very last bite and then the best part awaited me as I spooned the tasty milk to my mouth. Such was my morning routine between the ages of 4 and 18.

I always drank the milk. I think it might be because I can't stand the sight of something left on a plate. Even if I'm full I will finish my food. Whatever. I don't care. It's my survival instinct. Every cereal carried with it a different unique ending. Whether it be the silky smooth chocolaty Cocoa Puff finale or the cinnamony sweet Cinnamon Toast Crunch suprise, they all had some sort of individualized flair that added excitement to each increasingly close bite. When I think back on those years, I can only say that they were the best years of my life. Who's to say that my post cereal milk wasn't the sole reason behind that? Not only delicious, I believe that it added to my ever increasing size and unsurpassed bone strength through pre and post pubescent development. But wait! It only gets better... When I was growing up, there were only a hand full of cereals that were worth eating. Count Chocula, Lucky Charms, Cookie Crisp to name a few nostalgic influences on my life. These days its hard for me not to spend a half hour just browsing the cereal isle. So with the ever increasing amount of taste bud heaven that exists in our grocery stores today, milk is just begging to see this idea play out. All we have to do is combine these ingredients and throw it on the dairy isle and watch as the billions of dollars roll in.

So why do we have to limit our taste with chocolate and strawberry when there are so many other untapped milk flavor possibilities? I mean, c'mon, Nestle Quick tastes like crap and sand mixed together and somehow it has made it. It's only logical to think that Cereal Flavored Milk would give that silly rabbit a run for his money.
