I read an interview and printed conversation between David Remnick, Editor of “The New Yorker” and Jerry Seinfeld just prior to the May 3 release of “UNFROSTED”.
Thanks for sharing. I am always eager to read your new posts. You've lived through much of the history I read in books.
I was and am still a fan of the classic Kellogg' corn flakes. I had them for breakfast growing up. Nowadays, I am now trying some of their other cereals - frosted flakes, corn flakes with red berries etc.
The large supermarket grocery stores are an example of excess in almost every aisle. As if there weren't too many choices in cereals, take a look at salad dressings, oils and vinegars, when it's so easy to make your own. I realize they are catering to the masses. We much prefer the smaller markets, bakeries, meat and cheese shops that in so many villages are within walking distance and daily trips are not unusual. Best of all, when possible, is to grow and raise what you eat.
Good one Gary. Thanks for the pointer. Of course I’ve noticed that the granolas and Kashi cereal and so-called healthy ones are on the top shelf and out of reach for those that need it most 😂
If I ever go to America I'd want to take a trip to a grocery store just for this type of thing... the endless choices of cereal that's basically candy. I steer away from the real sugary ones because I know I'd be a sucker for them, but another unexpected favorite is all bran. In Italy, they come in flakes as well as little 'batons' and it's become a core 'Italian' food for me since moving there.
I haven't seen Unfrosted yet, but the interview was great. Thanks for sharing that, Gary! I love Seinfeld. Had tickets to see him in person once - long, long ago. Then my best friend decided to get married that day and asked me to be in her wedding. I never managed to get tickets again, and was surprised to hear he was still performing when my sister recently saw him in Vegas.
As for the cereal, I'm not a big cereal eater, but every couple years I get a craving for Captain Crunch. By the time I finish the box, it doesn't taste so good anymore - until I get another craving.
I liked your article - lots of funny stuff and history in the cereal aisle!

Still living not only through history but in it as it' happening and as we make our contributions to the story of our lives. Thanks!
