some wheat evolution

I am awakened on this friday of July a little bit earlier than I am used to. Apparently some fruitcake thought it would be cool to practice his saxophone at 7am in the lobby. Maybe if something was actually played instead of a bunch of random practice notes I wouldnt be so pissed. So thats it, I'm awake now, might as well go eat some breakfast. My favorite as of late has been
Not just your ordinary frosted mini-wheats, but with a nice flavor of maple & brown sugar. Its a nice thing to have first thing in the morning. Ever since I've gotten back to breck, I've been on a health binge for some reason too. Of course that's short lived cause I have friends coming into town this weekend and that will of course involve copious amounts of drinking. So much for staying healthy. I'm even drinking v8 for christs sake......ok fine its that new vfusion stuff....but it tastes damn good.....and is good for you! Chowin down salads as well, trying to straighten out after a winter/summer of eating the all american crap diet of burgers, brats, etc....and not a single veggie.

So as I'm sitin there eating my maple & brown sugar frosted mini-wheats.....I'm thinking...Ok. these are mini-wheats. The mini always have to come after the regular. It's not like midgets evolved first, then man...or was it? Anyway, I did some digging on shredded wheat evolution.
In a rather nasty photo (looks like this one is taking a shit) I find the original shredded wheat. Something the size of hand.....obviously you cant eat it how it is, so you have to crumble it up into the bowl first, then eat it. I sit here wondering who the hell even eats this stuff anymore. I can barely get the cereal into the bowl let alone be worried about having to crush stuff up just to eat it. And what the hell...no frosting? Plain shredded wheat would taste like you're eating sandpaper.....or a non-flavored triscuit. That shit's nasty. I am more than satisfied with my maple & brown sugar frosted mini-wheats. Thank goodness for the evolution of shredded wheat. Without it, I would probably still be eating crap like pizza or lucky charms.
