Honey-Bunches-of-Oats

I tell ya, it’s been a good long while since I’ve had to write a post that’s not really about baseball and it’s got me rather at a loss of what to do. Instead of focusing on one topic today, instead let’s look at a variety of things going on that I care about: Peter Molyneux has got a problem. You see, he’s one of the movers and shakers in video game design and his ideas have more or less shaped the industry as a whole. For example, while you can argue that Ultima or Fallout did it first, Peter and his boys at Lionhead popularized the whole good vs. evil aesthetic that so pervades the medium right now with his landmark title Black & White.

If you don’t watch television, you might have missed out on the commercials advertising the new cereal derived from Honey Bunches of Oats, Just Bunches. I love Honey Bunches of Oats, mainly because the bunches add so much flavor to the flakes and almonds, so I thought, why not buy myself some Just Bunches cereal and enjoy the oats? The real problem with Just Bunches is that eating bunches and bunches alone kind of sucks. It’s just too much to be able to eat in a normal bowl of cereal. I’m not a hater of just oat-based cereals, since I love Cracklin’ Oat Bran, but this one just doesn’t work properly.

You can also add it to other foods that need supplementing, like yogurt, to enhance taste. Otherwise, I’d recommend you avoid eating Just Bunches. ...
