I had a dream about 2 or 3 months ago that I was eating the cereal Alpha-bits. Now if you grew up in the late 80's-90's you know what cereal I am talking about. I have not had these suckers in about 10 years- Probably even more then that. So of course I wake up CRAVING Alpha-bits. So Steve and I go to the store. I run in the cereal aisle searching under POST and nothing. Steve thinks I am on crack because he has never heard of them before. WHAT? How could you have never heard of these things before?!? And I am marrying this guy?!? SO I am searching high and low- there is NOTHING.
I decide to text Ashley- she is a mom of 4 boys and she has to know what cereal is out right now and if Alpha-bits is no longer. She texts me back with "Gosh I have not seen them in awhile...." well this is just great. What the hell am I going to do with this god awful craving. SO we leave the store. In the next couple of weeks I search everywhere. Walmart has to have them- but they do not. Target has cereal but not Alpha-bits. Doesn't POST want kids to learn their ABC's anymore?!? CHRIST!! what is wrong with people?!!? I ask people at work- some have heard of it but not since 1992- some have no idea what I am talking about. I decide my friend Google knows everything. Oh look- I can get it from Amazon.com. Why. Why would anyone get a 5-pack of Alpha-bits from Amazon.com. SO I get out my credit card and start pumping in the numbers. WAIT. What the hell am I doing?! I stop myself. I am not sane. Maybe I go this crazy for fruity pepples but get over yourself! SO I start searching again thinking that safeway.com has them- something better then Amazon.com. I see blogs that no one has seen them in forever. Sistersue says, "Oh yeah- those were like my fav! what happened to they?!" Seriously. Bring them back. The world is getting "stupider" with out these things!! its THEM sistersue!!
Every time we go to the store it is like an easter egg hunt. Steve lets me go into the cereal aisle and I skip to my section- POST and get disappointed every time. Until last night. I need to by Rasin Bran because I am backed up. (You asked?!- ok you didn't. Now you know.) And since I get disappointed I have kind of stopped by obsession with Alpha-bits so I was about to leave this dreaded aisle. But I was walking because we are slacking in the cereal department at home so I felt like getting one more box- when what do I see. ALPHA-BITS!! HOLY SHIT! I RUN towards them. I scream! OH MY GOD!! I hug them! This has got to be the best day of my life! (ok, I am getting married in 3 weeks, that might top this day) Steve starts laughing....
What is funny about this- the box says NEW! on it. What assholes. They are not new, they are old news and why in the hell did they get rid of them in the first place?! So today I got up at 7:15 am before work, ate a bowl and packed a bowl for lunch. YUMMY. Probably going to have them for dessert tonight as well.
