1. Original: I found this box in my parent's cupboard today
(I'm visiting them in Houston for a few days), and my second thought was "...unless Kashi is doing some sort of retro promotional gimmick"*. My first thought of course was, "Oh dear lord how old is this cereal?" This does not seem to be the high fiber promotion of nowadays, promoted as a "good carb" to help us lose weight. This cereal is being marketed to people in an old folks' home, maybe someone's mom and someone else's dad have become good friends (maybe more?), and maybe not, but they sure as hell both need help keepin' regular.
Anyway the expiration date was illegible. I think cereal boxes should all have copyright years on them.
Now, unfortunately, the only milk my parent's have in their house, despite a fridge/freezer that looks like this
->, was a frozen bottle of milk from the deep freezer, where it had been for 1-8 weeks, out in the garage. My mother had, thoughtfully, taken it and put it in the fridge overnight to thaw, but it was still frozen. In lieu of milk, my mother gave me one of those liquid yogurt shots, pomegranate berry. Blech. I tasted the cereal alone so I could give it a fair rating: fine, tastes like fiber. (Nut. Info.)
*Which, it seems, is actually the case.
